They even called the next day to see if I was ok. Love everyone there keep it up guys and ladies. Thanks again for awesome experience."
"Dr Pate and TDDC was the only GI doctor to figure out what was wrong with my stomach and intestines after 4 years, multiple Ct scans, upper and lower GI procedures with no answers. He was the only doctor to think outside the box and figure out something was causing my problems. Everything everyone else tried failed. He figured out a nerve bundle which would be considered unrelated was causing all the problems which cascaded into looking like other issues. Gerd, ibs, all the different things other doctors gave up and just threw meds at the problem. He is the only one to not throw in the towel and instead of just trying meds, he did but when each didNT help he figured out it was something else. 1 shot (of more later) finally gave me relief. 4 years, 55 pounds lost I could spare, and now I'm out of pain, I can finally eat and most importantly stop missing work. I can't thank him and tddc enough. Everyone was very compassionate, wanted to figure out the problem and did. THANK YOU!! 5 STARS isn't enough for what they did for me."
"Dr. Patel had never seen me before my visit last week. He already knew all about my medical history, he reviewed my charts prior to my arrival; that was my first great impression. So many times doctors rush you out the door, they need to get to the next patient. Dr. Patel didn't do that, at all. He took time and listened and asked many questions and answered many questions, in detail. It was great to have him make me feel as though I really mattered and was not just another case. He has a very good bed-side manner and a true desire to help his patients is apparent."
"I have been going to Dr. Patel for several years. He is wonderful at explaining procedures and calming any fears. He listens to his patients and answers any questions you may have. He takes his time with you and you're not rushed out of the Office. His staff is also kind and respectful. I recommend him to all my friends. I will continue to be his patient. He is the best Doctor in his field."
"My appt with Dr. Patel was wonderful. He is a very caring physician who takes the time to explain his conclusions and sets the patients mind at ease with his recommended course of treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Patel."
"Dr. Patel was very professional and put me at ease. I had a very complicated case and he to explain several times in layman’s terms so I could understand exactly what was going on with my body. I would recommend him to anyone."
"I have been seeing Dr.Rikin Patel for the last few years. He is very patient and explains the condition very clearly and what his treatment plan is. He does not rush through the apointment and clarifies any concerns I have. He advises what care should be taken and what the consequences are if not adhering to the treatment plan. I feel very glad that I'm under the care of Dr.Patel."
"Great doctor, very informative and professional. Dr. Patel staff is attentive and courteous. The office and waiting room are comfortable and always clean."
