They should learn from before on the better way on scheduling an appointment. I know it is hard to predict how long doctor has to take care each patient but it shouldn't be that difficult.

There is nothing wrong with the doctor, it is just frustrated have to wait so long. It is kind like profit over patient time.

He can only cover one topic per appointment, so it requires 3-4 appointments for him to cover all the ailments for a typical patient.

Ultimately I decided to switch to another provider to get better care.

I unfortunately have had a similar experience to the other folks who have posted 1-star reviews. My…read morefirst few appt or two seemed to go well, but after a short time I began to experience quite a bit of the guilting others have mentioned and feeling like Dr. P was not listening to me AT ALL nor interested in my answers to his questions to inform a treatment protocol that should be unique to every patient affected by CIRS. The last straw was trying to refill my cholesevelam in the fall before I moved to the desert and left my home pharmacy, him refusing to refill it and instead demanding an appointment before he'd write the refill. This was very confusing and contradictory because--in spite of my tent I'd been living in for 5 mos. in the background of the last video visit--I was told not to contact him again for my next visit until I had left my moldy circumstances (something I had been actively trying to do for several mos. at the time). I had told him this, but he managed to forget every time we met, when he'd ask me again if I rented or owned my home. Moreover, he committed several of the major blunders of MDs in the environmental illness arena: ordering thousands of dollars of testing without explaining much of that testing to me (like Nagalase?)--some of which I had to take entire days off of work and drive hours to the "right" lab to get--and being generally quite insensitive to my financial constraints (I am in academia and have a limited budget, so I was living in a tent since Jan. 2023); refusing treatment (but then badgering me via his office manager for a follow-up appointment?); overcharging by $250 for my last appointment with him because I didn't want to be rude and tell him he was repeating himself with information from a prior video visit and I was disconnected for a few minutes because--guess what--I was trying to follow doc's orders and live outside at the time; and approaching me, particularly in my final appointment, with bullying and a "my way or the highway" attitude. I had reported no discernible health benefits from doing an extremely restrictive diet and instead a jump in my MMP-9 lab and a noticeable decline in quality of life, as I love to cook and I was already eating high quality foods and avoiding gluten, cow dairy, and processed foods before partaking of the special diet. Yes, many folks with CIRS have a mast cell issue, but I don't think I'm one such patient, and I've frankly noticed benefits from other and less restrictive diets like no-amylose and paleo, which I already emulate in my everyday life. Every patient is different, but he seemed to be ignorant of this and got very, very angry at me when he asked me to do the diet for another 12 mos. and I refused. He made some discouraging remarks to me that made me cry after my appointment (bc like many folks with CIRS, I am very type A, was diligently following every other protocol, and tend to be a "people pleaser" and rule follower ... so bucking an MD is no small thing to someone like me), telling me I wouldn't "get well" without doing as he said. He also asked me how my "hives" had been since doing the diet, and I felt VERY alarmed--it was clear he hadn't reviewed my intake paperwork, in which I indicated it had been years since I last got hives--and felt also increasing alarm about having been asked the same questions over and over about owning my home. He also managed to forget that I was based in Southern Cal when he made some Bay Area recommendations to me. It became abundantly clear in my last visit that this doctor--who charged 700+/hour--had NO IDEA who I was, and seemed not to care nor remember anything about me. It also became clear when he refused a refill and demanded a follow up that he had already forgotten his last words to me. I have no doubt that Dr. P has helped a lot of people, particularly folks who are extremely sensitive or suffer from debilitating Lyme. If you like a dictator for a doctor, he's your man. He's also struggled with Lyme and mold himself, but then again, so have many other practitioners in this field. I am now seeing an ND who is also very well-versed and has had personal experience with mold toxicity. She has an excellent bedside manner, is less than half the cost of Dr. P, sees me as a human, and is reachable and responsive by email if I have follow up questions, but indeed I'll be the first to admit that most of my improvements in health have been a result of educating myself and my own diligence and dedication to getting well. Most of my Shoemaker labs as of February this year have returned to normal and nearly all of my worst symptoms have dissipated completely, but with little help from Dr. P as my last visit with him was almost exactly a year ago, this past June (when he got angry and refused care). If you want a collaborator in your health and someone who cares about patient education and sees their patients as individuals and humans, find someone else.

I've been seeing Dr. Patel for a little over two years…read more The 4 years prior to seeing him, I had been living in a house with mold, but I didn't know about it. I had been slowly declining: less energy/enthusiasm for life, constant headaches, poor sleep, poor digestion, I was constantly getting ill with this or that. I saw a number of doctors, one of which told me I had mono (it seemed to fit). Almost two years later my wife found Dr. Patel and I went to see him. He was the first doctor who really listened to me. If I told him about a new symptom, he took it seriously. His testing was thorough. After being diagnosed with mold illness and Marcons, I began treatment. It has taken two years, but I feel more energetic than I have in a loooong time. My brain works again, I can work out again, I can get the occasional bad night's sleep and still function, my headaches are nearly gone, I sleep through the night. To say it is a complete transformation would almost be an understatement. I deeply respect and appreciate Dr. Patel. I feel like I have an ally and friend in my doctor for the first time since moving to California 12 years ago.

My appointment lasted less than 15 minutes and went through all the normal practices like taking blood pressure, height, weight, etc. Nothing special at all. A month later I was hit with a bill for almost $500 because they coded it as a non-preventative visit saying that taking my vitals is a separate code. Absolutely not. Then, when I explained that even if that was true, the CPT code they used was for appointments that are longer than 45 minutes, they said it was because it accounted for the time the doctor took to take notes. I was in the room with the doctor for less than 10 minutes, and if it takes him 25 minutes longer than the entirety of my visit to write standard notes (WITH THE HELP OF AN AI ASSISTANT) then this clinic is incompetent to say the least. While my initial appointment was quick and painless, the surprise billing and dizzying redirection of the staff completely soured the experience. Would strongly recommend reconsidering going to this clinic on all accounts.

I also appreciate that he "gets" the complexity of my myriad intersecting chronic conditions. Because I have multiple specialists, e.g. gastroenterologist, neurologist, opthalmologist, orthopedist, pain management docs ... it's so incredibly helpful to have him as the internist overseeing everything, ordering lab work and also being able to get appointments quickly for other symptoms. For example,. When post spinal fusion surgery, I had a GI issue, he gave me an 'in-office' exam, ordered tests, and accurately diagnosed the condition, followed by a rx. for the state of the art medication. I'm grateful that I have him as the physician overseeing everything. Btw., my husband, mother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law also see him--they also have exwellent experiences with him: over the years, he's become a solid family doc, someone we rely on for sound medical guidance.

If you have insurance but get a huge bill, call and ask to have it recoded. My first appointment for a heathcare review went well - lots of questions. Judith advised me I no longer needed routine screenings for cervical cancer yet only the week before my DOCTOR, a specialists, wanted to see me every 3 years, so this center should not be your only source for health information particularly if you have other health issues/concerns. The office is comfortable and spacious. The bad fake Fiddle Leaf Fig trees look out of place in the nice office, especially as they sit in front of gorgeous windows with plenty of light.

The lights over the seating area are huge white flowers and are amazing. You do have to download the app but it seems all medical groups either have an app to communicate with patients or will be getting one. UCLA, Sutter Health and Stanford, all share access to your health history and now prescriptions are all electronically sent through a main database, "Prescription Drug Monitoring System". Government agencies, like police departments, have access to PDMS, so let's face it, our healthcare is no longer as private as we'd like. The app is faster when you're expecting lab results or have a question, you'll get responses and results much faster. Overall, a great experience.
