Hitesh Patel, MD 400 Pinellas Street, Clearwater, FL 33756

"No one wants to have a cancer diagnosis. Most of us a scared, uneasy about the path ahead. But this team…..they are ALL AMAZING! Nurse Julie said it best as she looked at me while my first chemo was infusing. She lovingly leaned in and said, “No one wants to be a part of this family. But if you are, we are the one you want to belong too.” And she was right. Please know that they wrap you in their arms with love. They are wise. Trust and know you are with THE BEST! Pics below are of my last day of chemo! From stage 3b colon cancer to “No evidence of disease”!"

"My cancer is stable, apparently somewhat unusual for stage four lung cancer. I was diagnosed January 30, 2020. I am due for scans & a follow up with Dr.Patel, a gentle, soft spoken man.It is an easy office to visit. Staff continues with a sense of comfort and control.. Heather, his nurse practitioner. Gives you her time, with no hurry, no rush, just a talk to me and let me explain anything you don’t understand, attitude. . Cancer is a horrible disease and you’re afraid,but with the staff at Dr. Patel‘s office, they take a lot of le fear out of it, it’s very matter-of-fact,but with compassion. If you have to go through with it, it is a peaceful place for treatment."

"This office is run like a well oiled machine. You don’t sit and wait and wait. They get you in and out without making you feel rushed. Staff and Dr Patel are the best. Never have a negative word to say"

"Everyone I came in contact with was extremely kind! With PD I need assistance walking. The nurse not only helped me stand up but walked me to the Drs office making sure I felt safe. I LOVE these women who put the patient’ needs first! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Doreen Everett, PhD"

"The staff has always been excellent! Very caring, friendly and compassionate. I've been going to this facility for over 2 years and have only seen Dr. Patel 3 times. I usually see his assistant, Heather Mixon who is also great and takes time to explain all of my questions and concerns. When I have seen Dr. Patel he's been very condescending and doesn't want to spend time to explain my concerns. He flat out said " I'm here to treat NOT teach". Dr. Patel is very uncaring, rude and I have no confidence in him. I have switched to another doctor at Florida Cancer Specialist."
