Vishal Patel Md's Online Review Report Card

I have been referred to this gi especialist, but after two months I have not even been able to speak to his staff for an appointment. A woman once called me at work and said there is a cancellation tomorrow and if I was able to make the appointment? I said I could but I wasn’t able to get anyone to accompany me as she insisted I could not go alone, she said she’d call me back but I knew she was lying. This is the most unprofessional way I have been treated by a receptionist. It’s been 2 months now and I have called multiple times and left messages without a response . I wish there was a way hold his staff responsible

Dr. Patel performed a lengthy back surgery on me and I am so grateful for his expertise and the attentive care he has given me. I feel so much better now and I fully recommend him to everyone. He is an excellent surgeon and a kind man.

Do not go here, I repeat do not go here the office manager is the only one who actually works. The doctor is very rude

My husband saw dr Patel in October 2022 as a new patient. Dr Patel was late and didn’t look at my husbands chart. He asked some questions, suggested a liver biopsy. I told him my husband already had one done ( which he would have known if he looked at the chart.) He was unprepared and offered no useful information. We are looking for another hepatologist.

Dr. Patel and his staff did excellent job. He came highly recommended for another Orthopaedic surgeon due to expertise and technique in spinal fusion. My husband had surgery in November and I had surgery in April and we are amazed with the results. We highly recommended Dr. Patel to our friends and family or anyone with spinal problems.

Between Jan-Apr 2021 I began losing my balance, leg strength and the ability to walk. The MRI showed that I had severe arthritis inside the spinal canal combined with some herniated discs that had compressed my spinal cord in some places down to 1mm in my thoracic spine. I saw a different doctor for a consultation and was referred to Dr. Patel because he had the experience to work on this extremely rare condition. My surgery was more emergency than planned but Dr. Patel made himself available to answer all of my questions before the procedure date. He performed a laminectomy and fusion from T4-T10. Throughout the process he treated me with empathy, kindness and was reassuring. Spinal trauma and major surgery are never complication free, and I had to do my part in therapy to recover. It has taken a year and a half, but I no longer use a cane, I can do jumping jacks, planks and even lift weights at the gym. I feel like I have a second chance at life, and I am grateful!

Dr. Patel is so comforting and has the best bed side manners, He is very caring and attentive to your problem and needs, His compassion for the patient goes along way, 100 % recommend him!

On Friday November 4th,2022 , at 5:00am my mother had went in for a procedure a Anterior Cervical Discectomy (ACDF) at the Baylor Scott and White hospital / facility in Irving,Tx with Dr (Vishal C. Patel) As she went in for her procedure the Doctor had cut her main carotid artery that is the main source of blood and oxygen flow to her brain and she had lost a-lot of blood and went into a stroke. Prior to her procedure they told my mom that the procedure was only going to take 2 hours tops later ended up being several hours than expected. As my father waited in the waiting room to be called back to see her. Doctor Vishal C.Patel took a while to call or notify him to go back. Doctor Vishal C. Patel came out and finally notified my father about the "accident" HE had made to my mother and kept apologizing. My father was upset and couldn't look him in the eye. Later that evening around 10:00pm my mother was transferred to Baylor Scott and White in Downton Dallas and is now in critical condition and not doing so well, is currently on a ventilator. Dr Vishal C. Patel had the audacity to walk in to my mothers room and apologize, but an apology that didn't sound convincing or caring. He stated that this is one and million cases and rare to happen. But why did it happen to my mother ? We are really disappointed in Dr Vishal C. Patel and that there is nothing they can do. If anyone decides to get a procedure done with any doctor please do your research prior to your procedure so nothing happens like this again!

Have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Dr. Patel. Both me and my wife have been under his care and we recommend him to anyone needing his care.

Dr Patel is not only a gifted physician he is a personable doctor with a fabulous bed side manner. I wholeheartedly recommend this physician!
