Dr. Biren Patel, MD

"Dr. Patel's office requested a follow up visit for my mother. My first experience with this doctor and he literally acted like why were we there as if we were bothering him. Since we were there I asked if he could do a urine on my mother as she appeared to have a horrible urinary infection. His response was she is old and there is part of the "deterioration" process. He never examined her or even spoke to her. I again argued this was not her norm. He flat our refused the test or treatment. We ended up calling the home health nurse the next morning. She took one look at her and instructed to go to the ER immediately. She ended up being held over night it was so bad. This doctor is suppose to specialize in this and was apparent to every one but him."

"I recently had a lithotripsy that was complicated due to the size of one of the stones. Dr Patel could not have been more professional and courteous. Yes, he tells it like it is, no sugar coating. Other people may find this as rude, but I find it refreshing. From the first visit to the last where he removed my stent was nothing but marvelous. If you want your hand held and whisper sweet nothings, save that for your partner. If you want extremely competent care, see Dr Patel!"

"I’ve only actually met with Dr. Patel twice. The other times have been with his PA. Dr. Patel seems nice and informative. His PA on the other hand is rude and uninformed. Everything is the patient’s fault with her. In this particular instance she claims that their office is unable to request medical records from ANYONE because they are not my PCP. So I have to drive across town to physically obtain the records and hand deliver them to her. Upon speaking with the medical records dept. I was told that she is sorely mistaken and they are more than capable of requesting the records. She either doesn’t have all the information or she is too lazy to do the work. From here on out I will be scheduling my appts. with the doctor, not the PA."

"Competent but is your typical "fast food" type practitioner. Do not expect individualized care. Once a program is prescribed, it will be the standard despite degradation or changes in patient's condition. Does not even ask about changes in health at an annual check up. If you are looking for long term care, go somewhere else."

"My son had his bladder removed 3 weeks ago and cant get a prescription to get the ostomy supplies what is wrong with this Dr would for sure not go to his clinic"
