“I believe being an oncologist is not only an important responsibility but a true privilege. Every patient I meet represents an opportunity for me to make a real difference and to help turn a cancer patient into a cancer survivor! This is why I strive to provide the most attentive, effective, and advanced, evidence based care possible. And I do it with heartfelt empathy, guidance, and support for my patients and their families.”

  • "How do I describe my relationship with Dr Patel? He was kind understanding and try to help me when I couldn't understand situations clearly. However, his office no longer takes my insurance, and after six years under Patel supervision, he did not have the decency to at least say goodbye. I just literally got a phone call a hour before my appointment, saying Patel no longer takes my insurance so he cannot see me and referred me to someone else after six years no goodbye from this man who help me fight this fight! Patel to you from me Frances "be kind because we never know the impact we caused. I wish you well on this Néw journey and office Goodbye for now."

  • "Dr. Patel and his staff are excellent. The receptionists and nurses are really nice. Dr. Patel really listened to everything I had wrong with me health-wise and immediately came up with solutions to help my issues and referrals to specialty doctors to find the root cause. To me, I really felt he cared about me, my wellbeing and genuinely helping me. I’d absolutely recommend Aetna and Dr. Patel for people searching for a new clinic."
