Let me start by highlighting a few key points. First, Dr. Patel seems to err on the side of Integrative Medicine. This is fantastic as he doesn't just believe perscription medications are a cure-all. He enterains the ideas of natural health as well! Second, Dr. Patel seems to be more abreast of current scientific and medical research, sharing new findings versus some practitioners who continue to spew the 30 year old research they learned in medical school. Lastly, and this is my favorite, if Dr. Patel doesn't know about something (and lets be real, doctors are almost always making educated guesses), he's not going to give you a b******* answer. He will look into it! Would definitely recommend him, particularly if you dont want the common AMA programmed doctor. Very pleasant, clean office, great staff and well educated.
