Manisha Patel, DO

"Dr. Manisha Patel is hands down the best OB you can possibly ask for. She really takes her time and doesn't overbook. You won't have to worry about waiting forever in a waiting room. She was my Dr. for all 4 of my kids the last in which I had moved away and was still willing to drive over an hour to keep her as my OB. She is not a Dr. who pushes C sections because it's easier. She keeps the baby and your health first, while being very honest and open as to how things are going. She is kind, loving and you can tell she is a good Dr. because she truly cares about women and their health. She doesn't miss the details. She was able to see I had a thyroid issue come up during my third trimester just by looking at me and asking the right questions. She ordered blood work that day and by the next morning I was called and notified. Her entire staff seems to like working there and have great attitudes."

"We had the most incredible birth experience with Dr. Patel and Dr. Rausch. From our first appointment, Dr. Patel asked thoughtful questions, answered all of ours, and made sure we felt taken care of after a difficult journey to get pregnant. Her and Dr. Rausch took every precaution with my pregnancy, were thorough and never missed a beat. I felt myself and my baby were in spectacular hands. My water broke 5 weeks early, and Dr. Rausch answered calmy in the middle of the night and guided us on that we needed to go in. From there, her and Dr. Patel made smart descisions on my labor and worked with me on my preferences. They never once pressured me on meds, I chose an epidural when I was ready, and did everything possible to see I had a vaginal birth. When I reached 9cm at 2am, Dr. Patel hurried over and was guiding me from the beginning. She was calm, sat bedside and never once made me feel anxious or worried. She diligently kept an I on me and our baby's health and had NICU ready and waiting. Her incredible bedside manner made one of the toughest experiences a woman can face as calm as humanely possible. In the final moments, she delivered the baby with ease and then saw that I was properly taken care of. She saw that I got to hold the baby before she was whisked off and then kept me calm during a trying moment. After the delivery, she visited both days I was in the hospital and saw that I was healing properly, on July 4th weekend no less! She is a rock star and truly incredible. So many of the hospital staff raved they used her for their births, too. I plan to continue to see her and the practice for years to come, and feel so blessed and lucky she oversaw our birth experience."

"Dr Patel was/is my wife’s OB and we came to her via a recommendation from another doctor. For any husband or partner out there, you will not be disappointed - Dr Patel is absolutely amazing. She was phenomenal throughout the pregnancy but especially amazing when our little one decided to come 5 weeks early. She has an extremely calm demeanor and helped us relax through a very stressful period. During the actual delivery, I never felt worried. She is truly an amazing doctor and I wasn’t surprised that all the nurses spoke so highly of her (and even had her as their delivery doctor). Thanks for everything Dr Patel!!"

"The office manager Sarah absolutely rude and made me feel disrespected as a patient, and also Dr. Patel does not seem to care about the patients needs at all. I was told to arrive at 4 pm for my 415 and was not seen until after 450-455. Patients were even taken after me which caused me to miss my appointment afterwards. I was not even seen by the doctor for more than 5 mins but waited almost a hour. Please see Dr. Raush my go to, 5 stars for her she’s amazing."

"Dr. Patel asked me if my marriage was arranged which I did not understand!! What does this question have anything to do with my care?? She also asked if my designer bag was real... is she for real? Needless to say, I will not be going back to see her again and neither should you!! smh."
