I used Dr. Vijay because he was in network for my previous insurance company. Staff was courteous but not overtly friendly. Dr. Vijay spent time with me to determine the reason for the visit. He was sort of friendly but a decent doctor for a onetime visit. I have chosen not to return since there are others in my network for my new insurance. He is ok, not great and not bad.

Excellent caregiver!!!

Dr. Patel is a rarity, as he makes you feel as though he really cares about you. He is patient, calm, and takes the time to explain any ailments in plain English. In other offices, I felt as though the doctor only wanted me to spend a few minutes in his or her presence, write me a prescription, and send me on my way. Dr. Patel is cut from a different cloth entirely. When he prescribed medication, he actually took the time to tell me how the medication works. If you are looking for a physician who will take the time to properly diagnose you and help you understand your body, then Dr. Patel is the one for you.

• Pros: Bedside manner, attention to detail, and genuine care for the patient

Excellent Doctor

Takes the time, makes the extra effort, friendly staff. Open very early in the AM. I have found it very hard to find the ol'timey sort of doctor that actually takes time with their patients, The triangle has grown impersonal in its healthcare services. Finally, a good family doc with a great network of specialists.

• Pros: easy to find, ample parking, great knowledgeable staff
• Cons: he spends a lot of time with each patient so waiting is normal
