If asked to provide one word to describe my experience with Dr. A. Patel the first that comes to mind is "impersonal". I've been in for two wellness checks and one illness inspired visit. Each time, I'm not really sure how Dr. Patel knows enough about me to give me a clean bill of health. In all, we've maybe spent 15 minutes together, and that's probably generous. My second well check was under 5 minutes. It always seemed he was out the door before I could formulate my questions (and I'm not That slow).
When asking if they could reproduce a bill of health that was 6 months old, we were told we'd need to schedule another visit and pay a $20 fee.
When my partner made an appointment only to be told that some blood work needed to be completed again, they charged the same fee as though he received medical services. When asked about it, they stated that work had been done. Apparently getting weighed and having your heart pressure measured costs just over $83 with an HSA.
I've debated between one and two stars for this review. Ultimately, I've decided to go with two as on my ill visit he prescribed medication that worked. Next time, however, I won't simply choose the doctor closest to home.
