    Appointment did not start until over an hour late. Someone came in the room 10 minutes into the wait and said she would be right with me. No one ever came back to say it would be longer or why there was a delay. Someone should have.

    Dr Patel is very efficient. She listens to any concerns that I have, offers Solutions on an ongoing basis, she answers questions, no matter what type of question I have. She is very busy, but I never feel rushed. If I have additional questions, she makes time for me.
