Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- December 16, 2022 I enjoyed meeting Dr. Patel and he was on time (a plus for working patients) however since the appointment I have been disappointed. He prescribed a new medication that requires Prior Authorization request. The pharmacy has reached out to him, I have sent 2 emails requesting that he submit request, and I have called the office and spoke to a nurse requesting it. I saw him Dec 2 and as of yesterday Dec 15, BCBS confirmed this has not been received. He gave samples and the med is working so I am eager to receive before samples run out and informed him in last email that I am leaving for Christmas holidays. In our office, employees are expected to complete tasks at hand
- December 13, 2022 Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable about my thyroid condition, and he provides me with the information I need.

I believe that he has actually saved my life and that of my (now ex) brother-in-law, who came from overseas and had not been treated properly for his Type 1 Diabetes.

- April 28, 2022 Dr. Patel is very kind and soft-spoken, however, he communicates and interacts effectively regarding my endo concerns. Works with me to find a solution to any problems I may be incurring. We share an interest in NFL and banter about that. When I've written to him, regardless of whether I'm having a problem, or need a prescription refilled, etc., he is very responsive to give me the help I need. I have recommended him to various others who then became a patient of his and like him very much as well.
