UCHA - Bloomfield / Dr. Kumar Patel 55 West Passaic Avenue, Bloomfield, NJ 07003

"Me and my wife had very good experience with dr patel in Hoboken hospital the time he moved from that hospital we have very tough time to switch another doctor, dr patel takes his own time and he makes you feel comfortable he is very kind and honest"

"Dr Shah is very knowledgeable and compassionate and kind hearted doctor when my son got sick 2:15am and I called Dr Shah on his cell phone and imediately Dr Shah call my local pharmacy within couple of hours my son got much need rest. Impossiable to get this kind of service these days . Thank You Dr Shah"

"Had my first visit yesterday and I have no complaints. Dr. Sha was very nice and non judgmental. He asked good questions and made me feel comfortable. The ladies at the front desk were nice and had a sense of humor. My appointment was 5pm and I was out of there by 5:45; after booking my blood work, taking an EKG and scheduling next appointment. Not too bad at all! There was ample side street parking, and the office was empty when I arrived at 4:40pm. Overall my experience was satisfactory and the fact they do bloodwork at their office is a major plus."

"My first visit: Dr. performed yearly physical, and discovered through bloodwork that I have high cholesterol. He called and asked me to come back in to the office to discuss. I asked around on my own, and discovered this is not uncommon for a woman who has recently been pregnant (a fact I had told the doctor). My second visit: I waited more than an hour for an appointment that had been scheduled two weeks prior. Dr. walked in, pointed to some numbers regarding my cholesterol, and told me the answer was that I should go vegan. It wasn’t a discussion, and he did not ask one single question about my current diet and exercise routine. He went on and on about all the different milk substitutes there are nowadays, and all I could think was, “I know. Because we don’t drink real milk at home because my husband is lactose intolerant.” The doctor never even asked how I felt about his proposed solution or offered support on such a sudden, drastic change as going vegan. Further, I have a history of low iron levels (another fact I shared during the first visit). When my diet is low in red meat, I need iron supplements. Bizarre experience. Would not recommend."

"I saw some negative reviews that are more about the busy-ness off the office so thought I'd share. Dr Shah is a top notch doctor who takes his time to educate you along the way. His office is very busy probably because he is a very good doctor. His staff is caring and professional and the phlebotomists are excellent. He does have a dry personality and sense of humor but he more I have been there the more I appreciate him and his staff."
