Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and puts me at ease as to my condition. I trust him.

Dr. Patel has been great. I contacted him via My Chart and rather than replying he called me. He's been honest, friendly and I believe truly cares about his patients. He's a joy to be around. He's not like a lot of surgeons or specialist I've had. He doesn't have that "professional" mode so many have which makes him comfortable to be around

I have been so impressed by my experiences with Wellstar. I avoided going to the doctor for years, and I finally had enough health questions and concerns build up that I decided to try out Wellstar's medical providers. The online system is helpful and connects well with the offices, and the process of being referred to specialists has also been smooth and easy. Every person I have interacted with has also been kind and helpful. Thank you for all you do.
