— Vitals.com review for Dr. Brimal Patel"Dr Patel does not listen to the patient. He made me feel as though I didnt know anything. He made me xcome in every 2 months for my prescriptions where as other doctors only think 2 times a year is enough."
— WebMD Care review for Dr. Brimal Patel"It's very disconcerting to all of a sudden to be told, ‘Hey, I can't see you because you know, your insurance won't pay.’"
