I had my first colonoscopy ever with Dr. Patel. It was a very good experience. In general, I haven't had many medical procedures, so I was a bit nervous but the staff were really good. I encountered at least 5 staff members and Dr. Rinkin in the procedure area. Dr. Rinkin was professional, patient, and empathetic. I felt safe, important, and at ease. Everything went smoothly (from my perspective).
The staffs were very nice. Dr was nice and he informed me everything I want to ask. I will recommend this to my friends and family.
Overall it's a very comfortable process. All the staff are trustworthy.
My first visit with Dr Patel. I found him to be a caring person & answered all my questions. We will be back.
Thank you for your service .

This doctor and office staff are absolutely the best. The staff goes above and beyond at what ever you ask them to do. Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and always listens to our concerns and takes the time to explain in very detailed what is going on. Highly recommended!!
