“He was very pleasant. Office staff was also helpful Only thing which bothered me was the sign that said if you pay by credit card they will add 3%. I find this to be a reason I would not return.”

He was very pleasant. Office staff was also helpful Only thing which bothered me was the sign that said if you pay by credit card they will add 3%. I find this to be a reason I would not return.
Verified patient
I tried to explain to the doctor that I have had this condition before and he was very quick to tell me it’s not the same-even though I hadn’t seen him in the past so how would he know. The prescription he called in isn’t working and now I have to go see someone else and pay another copay. He was very nice. If he spent 5 minutes with me that was a lot. The office was clean and beautiful. I felt like it was an urgent care dermatologist. I probably won’t be back.
Office staff was great. The Dr. was knowledgeable but was in and out in like one minute. Just wish I had like 30 seconds to ask a question. What he did seems to be working so that’s great.
I don't recommend Dr. Mahir Patel. My appointment was less that 2 minutes. I have more questions to asked but they just want to get rid of me as sooner as possible. He didn't even check my skin to see the problem I have. Not good ??. Very disappointment.
Verified patient
Overall, very pleasant experience.
Great Communication. Great experience!
As enjoyable as a doctors visit can get

I wouldn’t go back. Office stuff was great but the physician I saw wasn’t listening to my concerns, gave me medication I told him hasn’t helped in the past and dismissed my opinion.
