This was my first time visit with Dr. Patel and she was very patient and kind during the visit. I love how she asked questions to develop a patient relationship with my daughter that was so important to me and mainly one of the things that stood out during the visit. I’m so glad I made the best choice choosing her as my daughter pediatrician.
