Dr Patel has been my moms Dr for ever it seems like over 20 something years, he was my dad's as well and my sister and brother in laws Dr. He would be mine if I didn't live in Texas. He takes his time with you is very caring asks after the family and a very nice man, you couldn't ask for better. His son Dr J is just as good and Dr Grant all great people. If you want someone who cares this is where you go. He will help you, but you have to do what needs to be done, you can't go and ignore instructions he gives for your health. All in all great people office staff as well. Sometimes you may have to wait but that's because he takes his time with each patient. Our family… read full review

Dr. H. Patel is a Great Doctor. He takes time and listens to you to make sure he addresses everything. I rarely wait over 15 minutes before I am called back. If I do have to wait longer, I know that Patient with him needed more of the Doctors time to give them the kind of quality care that he gives. I am generally in and out within an hour or less. He now has his son Dr. Jit Patel and Dr. Grant working with him and they are keeping with the way Dr. H. Patel treats his patients. I have trusted them with my Parents, Husband, friends and other family members. I highly recommend them.

Would be 5 stars, but the complaint is about the hired answering service. Doc Patel is awesome. I knew him before being a patient and even more impressed as a patient.
Called and got answering service that said she wasn't employed by the office but insisted I tell her my issue and what meds I was taking. That's between me and doc. She was rude, condescending and after being inturrupted multiple times, I hung up... just like the last time I had to call. Outside of that, I'll see doc until it's no longer an option.
