    Risha Patel was warm, considerate and truly listened to my concerns. She is trying a new medicine combination while I wait for another test. It was easy to get an appointment with her and she was on time.

She is extremely intelligent and genuinely committed to my well-being. I believe her warmth and professionalism are worthy of recognition amongst her peers. Furthermore her competence speaks volumes for your organizations hiring practices!

    I have a long medical history and had never seen this provider. I was amazed at much detail she knew about my history i usually have to fill in gaps and so was ready to do this until I realized that she already knew the information. I also never felt rushed for the visit to end ,as is usually the case. All my questions were answered before I left and I was able to voice my preferences for upcoming treatment. Really felt valued

    Wish Dr [REDACTED] would have looked me in the eye. I don't know if this is a cultural difference. I'm referring back to the first time I met him in the summertime. I met with his intern for about 45 minutes and he was excellent and Dr [REDACTED] came in for about four minutes and did not look in my eyes once. Like I said, I don't know if this is cultural, but it was not comfortable for me.
