03/13/2024

Dr. Patel was very professional and confident in his explanation of what I needed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

03/13/2024

Everyone from the greeting at the office to seeing the assistant and Dr. Patel was extremely pleasant. Everyone made me comfortable and I just knew I would have an excellent experience. This was my first time to see Dr. Patel and all my expectations were met. He was so informative and knowledgeable. I have already recommended him to friends and family. I feel very assured that he will solve my problems and do the very best for me. Thank you Dr. Patel and staff and I am so glad I have you as my doctor.

03/12/2024

Dr. Patel was truly amazing! I’ve seen a handful of different cardiologists and none were ever able to give me a real reason for my condition. I always just heard “drink more water” and that was it. Dr. Patel gave me an actual diagnosis and a treatment plan to condition my heart. It was so wonderful just to have someone who didn’t write me off and seemed to genuinely care and wanted to make sure I understood it too.

03/04/2024

Wonderful visit as usual. Dr Patel is very caring, personable and articulate. Very thoughtful consult.

02/19/2024

Reputation of physician was excellent.

02/13/2024

The visit was outstanding!

02/13/2024

Dr Patel was very thorough in explaining my medical situation. Also very reassuring . Also the staff were helpful in finding my second visit within a few days dafter my tests. I appreciate that issue very much since most of the time it takes months for a new appointment

02/11/2024

Everything!! The receptionist at the front desk (don’t know her name) was friendly, caring and professional. The nurse, Lizabeth who took my vitals etc was also kind, friendly and professional.

02/03/2024

Dr. Patel and his staff always exceeds my expectations

02/01/2024

As much as I hoped I would never need these services, here I am. This group is amazing! I first came into their office because of my husband’s severe heart issues. He has since died but these people gave him more time & support then I ever thought possible. They have been excellent in my care also & I would (& have) recommended them highly. WakeMed should be proud of these professionals. From the front office to scheduling to the nursing staff they are caring, supportive people. The doctors are highly competent & stay up to date on the latest advancements.

01/31/2024

The explanation of my problem and how he would go about fixing it,

01/15/2024

Dr Patel spent time explaining everything to me and my family and that was greatly appreciated. He spoke in terms I could understand as well as my medical family couldn’t understand. I also appreciate the help of Jen, my nurse in the preop. She was always here to help as well as the other people who helped when she was not able to be there. It was a great team, and I really had a good outcome with all their help! Thank you very much!

01/15/2024

Excellent, caring doctor as well as staff!

01/15/2024

My visit with Dr Patel was one of the best patient experiences I have ever had. He realized where I was at with my level of understanding and talked to me the rest of the visit at that level. I was so Impressed I called my husband and made a social media post after (leaving out location and names- I have a following on social media). I was VERY impressed as someone who has worked in healthcare for 17 years, is working towards an administrative degree (he’s someone I’d want on my team) and has battled with chronic disabilities for most of my life. The whole office in general from check in/reception, to the MA, to Dr Patel were people you’d want on your team!

Dr. Patel is the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. He talks through every test, procedure, and exam so you are thoroughly informed. His demeanor is A+. I travel from NJ to see Dr. Patel as he is the only cardiologist who I trust with my complicated issues. Furthermore, his staff (and the Medtronic reps) are all amazing individuals. I would recommend Dr. Patel every day of the week.

Dr Patel

10/16/2023

Dr. Patel literally has my life in his hands. I am confident I could not find a better doctor in his specialty. The last time I saw him he not only helped me understand my heart better he also took the time to listen to some of my other unrelated health concerns. To me it seems demeaning for a professional like Dr. Patel for Wake Med to resort to this kind of feedback system.
