"I have been a patient of Dr. Patel's for over 3 years now, I even had my husband switch to him because I like him so much. Both my husband and I are impressed with this doctor. He is very caring and knows what he is doing. I always get email reminders of upcoming appointments. They have never lost any blood work results. I can usually view the results online before I even go to my appointment. You can also communicate with Dr. Patel via email if you have problems or concerns before your next appointment."

Payment Options
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and personal checks.
Card-on-File
We encourage patients to keep a credit card on file to make the checkout process easier, faster, and more efficient. You will no longer receive statements from us, but you will continue to receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier once your claim has been processed, detailing the charges and payments made on your behalf.
At check-in we will:
- scan the credit card of your choice, including your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card
After your insurance has paid their portion, we will:
- notify you via email of the balance owed
- charge the balance owed to your card on file
- email a receipt for the charge
Your credit card information will always be fully protected by our off-site, card-processing partner Elavon, and not on our computers, as required by industry standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – PCI-DSS).
