Yall know how seriously I take medical care as a fat Black woman. When I find a practice that cares for me as a whole person I will amplify them accordingly. First things first, it is incredibly hard to find a surgical dermatologist. In this field it often seems like aesthetics over everything. Before the pandemic ruined everyone's life I was being seen at 2 practices in north jersey - the first one didn't seem to understand why I would be bothered that my alopecia spots weren't healing and the second practice stopped taking insurance after my second appointment. As each injection is hundreds of dollars lmao that promising relationship ended quickly. Healthcare for the rich indeed. For the last 5 years I've been managing the patchiness on my own to inconsistent effect. Recently, another unrelated issue requiring surgery kicked me into high gear to find a new provider. I sought recs from my local FB group, friends and family, etc but they all kept leading me down cottage skincare and other lanes. It was actually a good old-fashioned Google search that led me to Dr. Patel. Bravo on winning the SEO game! From the moment I called (and rescheduled thrice due to car trouble - dang it MINI), the office was welcoming, accommodating, and scheduling relatively quick appointments. On my first visit, Dr.Patel and his team were thorough, curious, and caring. I felt so comfortable with them and I felt like I mattered. In many ways women become "invisible" after age 40 - add race and body size to the mix and it can be difficult to get the care and compassion needed to navigate health challenges. Dr. Patel suggested I get a full blood work up - and actually caught my low iron and anemia. So many somatic mysteries cleared up just because someone listened and cared. I have a surgical procedure scheduled in a few weeks that will bring me immediate comfort and the topical meds and injections Dr. Patel is giving me have restarted hair growth in some persistent patchy spots. I'm very thankful I found this practice! read more

I want to commend Dr. Parth Patel for his attentiveness, caring , knowledge and dedication to his profession of him being a dermatologist. I came to Dr.. Parth Patel with skin problem. He made a suggestion of what he thought it may be, however, he did not rule out anything .He sent me for blood work to get the test results . He wanted to be 100% accurate of what he thought was going on with me. He advised me of the treatment plan the would help me recover. I felt helpless, not sure if his treatment plan would help me which it did. He went above and beyond his call of duty in his profession of being a dermatologist! His staff were very caring and attentive too. I would give him 1000% rating and would refer him to anyone to for expertise in his profession. Thank you Dr. Parth Patel. Cynthia Cabbell read more

I first met Dr. Patel when he cared for my elderly father. My Dad had to have cancer taken off his face. Dr. Patel was fabulous with the surgery. He is very knowledgeable, kind, caring and was considerate of the fact that my Dad was coming from a nursing home. I was so impressed by him and his office staff that I began seeing him myself. I would highly recommend this dermatologist to anyone. read more
