I appreciate Dr Patel’s respectful, kind nature over the years that we have been together. His understanding nature is a breath of fresh air. Thank you so very much!
Always a pleasure to work with Dr Patel. He is agreeable to compromise and listening to the patients for negotiating medications Etc. He stays up-to-date by requesting blood work and lab tests as needed. He has a great sense of humor. I love his smile and his laugh.
I really enjoyed my Doctor's Appointment buy video with DR. Patel Yesterday, he was very helpful in assisting me with what I need to do as far as staying mentally healthy. We discussed my medication, lab blood work, and etc.
Dr. Patel has always listened and I adore him. We have had issues with a med not working he is smart about how to even things out and help me adjust. When my ADHD was out of control he mentioned to me my meds were fine and what I really needed was an employee to fill in areas of tasks I could not get to. Sometimes we think we know the answers, but his perspective has truly helped me over the years. He’s a major reason I keep my plan with Kiaser.
Dr. Patel always listens attentively to my concerns, feedback, and questions. He always addresses me with the utmost care and sensitivity. During our appointments Dr. Patel takes the time to explain medications, side effects, and statistics, as well as options when appropriate. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Dr Patel really listens to his patients. I wanted to come down on some medication recently & he was very supportive while reflecting with me on how to do it. He’s always been in a very cheerful mood when I see him which is so important with medical professionals as health can be a little daunting. I hope to stay in his care for my life journey as I’ve never connected so well with any of my psychiatrists.
Dr. Patel provides expertise and empathy at every session, ensuring I feel supported and valued. He is the best psychiatrist I've seen.
I've never experienced a psychiatrist who was so open to incorporating my lived experience into a treatment plan. What a refreshing ally.
Dr. Patel is the unique psychiatrist who actually listens with intent. He is empathetic, professional and thorough. He is intentional about seeking a variety of solutions, not just blanketly prescribing meds. I'm very glad I found him.
Love speaking to Dr Patel he’s caring and understanding about my mental health. Helps me to process my thoughts and feelings and tries to help me feel my best.
