I've been treated here with courtesy and dignity, none of the experience of Cesar (the other reviewer).
They will see you and treat you for a very reasonable prices, its god-send for those without insurance. I've been to doctors offices at lot of different places, their facilities though not top of the line are functional and clean.
I have been there for few different visit for my parents care and my own symptoms of flu/cough several times, again nothing serious stuff but was taken care of quickly and given reasonably priced generic meds to get better.
Last reviewer Cesar's review seemed a little suspect to me. Why would a doctor prescribe strong meds for pain without a thorough review? most of the "strong" pain killers typically do have addiction risk.
And him taking a paragraph to describe an intern's forever 21 blouse? really?Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lexi M.San Francisco, CA05May 9, 2024
Do NOT go to Dr. Arun Patel if you have another choice. He makes you wait for your appointment (in an empty lobby) and then rushes to be done with you as soon as possible. I can't help but feel like he is sexist... he downplays the severity of my medical conditions and doesn't take my concerns seriously simply because I am a young woman. He DOES NOT LISTEN at ALL! Here's an actual conversation I had with him recently:
Me "I have multiple skin tags in areas that really bother me. They rub against my clothes and the friction is painful sometimes, so I want to have the skin tags removed. Could you please refer me to a dermatologist ?"
Dr Patel "Skin tags aren't a big deal and there's no reason to have them removed, unless they are bothering you"
Me "They ARE bothering ME."
Dr Patel "So what, you want a referral or something? Is that it?"
Me "Yes. I want a referral."
As I was answering his last question, he walked OUT of the room while waiving me off over his shoulder. There was a young woman medical practitioner shadowing him that day, and she apologized for the DOCTOR's rude behavior and assured me she would check my paperwork and send a referral my way. She did a great job and was very kind. Dr Arun Patel on the other hand... should NOT be allowed to practice medicine.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Scott S.Whittier, CA1121Dec 14, 2023

Please do yourself a favor a choose a different doctor if you care about yourself. Visited him three times and all were a complete joke/waste of money. He is always in a rush and doesn't really care about you. I told him I wasn't vaccinated and he compared me to a Nazi Suicide bomber... thought that was a bit extreme. I also told him I needed a specific test, get to the clinic to find out he ordered the wrong one. Never going back.

I saw Dr. Patel for the first time today. He was professional, listened carefully to my description of symptoms and offered suggestions on how to proceed. I left assured I was in competent, caring hands.

this quack, will do nothing bt rush you through your appointment and misdiagnose you everytime. you will be given pills and more pills and then more pills to take care of all the side effects. he and the office are filthy. doctor patel and his dreadful sister do not practice hippa in any way shape or form. patel is typically heard yelling out private health information. he also loves to yell at his staff. it is painful to hear him degrade them.
the lab lady is ignorant and rude. the sister of doctor patel is the same. the other staff are good but put under incredible stress by him. it is a hostile environment for the patients and elena (the only real beating heart in there.)
praise god i got out of there before he killed me with his stupidity.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Rishi B.City of Industry, CA2373Jul 23, 2018
Dr. Patel was the most unprofessional doctor I have ever been to. My appointment time was at 9:30 and the staff was so disorganized that I finally met with him for my physical at 11:30. Dr. Patel and his team did not apologize and rudely turned their backs when I was asking why the two hour wait. Dr. Patel then demanded my co-payment and when I told him my insurance would cover it, he continued to ask for it and gave no ear to any of my comments. In the end, I left completely dissatisfied with no physical, and questioned whether or not this man was actually a doctor because I have never ever been treated this poorly by any other physician.

Dr. Patel has been our family doc for around 30 years and I must say he is amazing at what he does and ultimately he goes above and beyond! Dr. Patel has made sure my grandmother is well taken care I mean she's almost 90 years old, as well as other family members including myself to stay in great shape. I also must add, I am not a fan of medications even when I'm really sick but he has prescribed just the perfect dosage and meds to help me feel better and get back to my daily routine within a timely manner. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and patience with us we really appreciate you!

Dr Patel is my go to doctor for my wife and my self. I have been seeing him for over 4 years and he has always made time to see me when I had no appointment. He is very knowledgeable and will send you to specialist if needed. I highly recommend Dr Patel

At first, I was happy with Dr Patel. I've had heart skips for years and when I first visited him, he spent sometime asking questions and prescribing me medication to help my heart. I felt better, but as time passed, my condition worsened and I periodically visited Dr. Patel for more help. He eventually sent me to a cardiologist and went for test. The cardio test came back normal "as always" but I continued to complain to Dr Patel about my heart skips and chest pain.
As time went by visits took longer, and the time he spent with me decreased. He had nothing new to say about my heart condition or nothing more to help me with. He always said it might be anxiety and continued to brush it off.
I told Dr. Patel I was recently in a car accident and had pain in my back and neck. Dr. Patel ran out of the exam room and retrieved a form he began to fill out with questions about the accident. So, before I left he prescribed me pain medication and muscle relaxers. He also said to give him the insurance information of where he can send the bill.
My next visit was due. I waited an hour in the waiting room and another 15 minutes in the exam room before I walked out. It was taking too long to be seen so I told the front desk receptionist that I would have to reschedule. The female didn't seem apologetic about it. She just took my name and new visit date. After I got home, I got a call from the receptionist lady asking that Dr. Patel wanted to know if I had the insurance information so he can send the bills. So, INSTEAD of them calling to see how I am doing or the concern for my health, Dr. Patel was more interested in getting the insurance information.
I really don't recommend Dr. Patel if you are seriously ill and seeking for help with something more serious then a common cold.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
