Dr Shyam Patel is the best primary care physician I’ve had. He’s gotten my diabetes, blood pressure in control and he keep my preventative care in mind, sending me for screening tests. He keeps me feeling young. I love his staff , as they are caring and always strive to help however you can. Best of all, it’s very easy to get in touch with the office for anything you need. Usually a short wait and plenty of parking. Best primary care office and a hidden gem.
