Dr Patel is the best MD with whom I have ever visited. He's in a league of his own when it comes to caring about a patient, explaining everything and answering questions.

Dr. Patel was very informative and helpful.

Dr. Patel is one of the nicest doctors that I have ever met. He explained everything to me and answered all of my questions, my mothers questions and my husbands questions. He was very thorough and spent a long time with us explaining everything to us about my procedure. He asked multiple times if we had any further questions and made sure we understood everything.

Dr Patel has patience and a wonderful bedside manner

As an interventional cardiologist, Dr. Patel did my angiogram and placed 3 stents. When he offered to transfer my case to another cardiologist for follow-up, I refused. He is totally focused on each patient, and always makes sure in his gentle manner that all of my questions have been answered at each appointment.

Dr. Raj is the very reason I'm able to type this today. I am very thankful and grateful to have such a thoughtful, understanding, knowledgable expert doctor as he is.

Wonderful doctor and person too.

I have always found Dr Patel to be very interested in me as a patient…he has saved my heart, and has always been attentive to my health concerns as well as explaining in simple terms the working of the whole complicated cardiac system. I would give him more than 5 stars if only there were more of them.

My husband has been a patient at Ochsner Main Campus since 2002. He has many health issues and sees specialists in numerous fields. They have kept him alive and reasonably healthy well past “his expiration date”, as we refer to it. Dr Patel and Nurse Becky are great.
