Geeta Patel, MD

Absolutely horrifying. People were walking in and out of the exam room while I had my legs in teh stirrups. The doctor asked me NO questions. I had to request «an audience» in her office to explain my pain and my concerns. She’s horrible. If you just want pap smear results, fine, but if you need anything else, even just HUMAN interaction, go to someone else. I’d give 0 stars if I could.
It was a mortifying experience.

I ended up changing doctors at 28 weeks, she wasn’t the right fit for me and my pregnancy.

Dr. Patel and staff are very nice. I first saw her for a couple routine yearly exams then continued with her when I found out I was pregnant. Initially my visits were a little impersonal but lately, I have gotten to know her and her staff better with more frequent office visits and they are all very caring. I am a busy person, so I appreciate that they are usually on time. Longest I’ve had to wait was about 30 mins for my appt, but that’s not bad for most doctors offices!

God awful. The MA doesn’t even know how to draw blood, she just sends you to the labworks over and over. I knew I was pregnant and my hcg was doubling every 2 days but they would still not tell me I was pregnant, they sent me for blood 5 times in 2 weeks, without telling me anything! my first child delivered by her was a disaster she didn’t check to make sure my water had completely broke and a nurse discovered it at pomona hospital after I had been given contraction meds for 24 hrs which resulted in an infection and emergency c-​section, stupidly i didn’t hold it against her i thought accident but now after 5 blood draws and no one telling me whats going on with my pregnancy causing me to freak out thinking something is wrong, I changed doctors I now go to Valley OBGYN who helped me same day and were happy to say congrats you are pregnant, everything is good come in two weeks for next check up, no blood work, no crap. Don’t know if they just treat medi-​cal patients this way or everyone but I urge anyone to go elsewhere, they are no sincere and they do not truly care for their patients. Statute of Limitations on mal practice is 2 years so it is too late for me, but if anyone has endured pain or had a terrible loss and believe it shouldn’t have happened with this doctor, i can be a witness for you, this lady needs to be shut down

So I booked an appointment through an app called zoc doc on December 10^th. Got a call from the office the next day telling me that the doctor was going to be out for the holidays and they had to reschedule for the 28^th. On the 21^st, I get another call with a voicemail asking me to call back to reschedule because the doctor will still be out on the 28^th. So I reschedule for the 29^th at 1pm. The 29^th arrives and I am at work, I see a missed called from the office and no voicemail was left. I’m thinking they were calling to remind me of my appointment since they’ve rescheduled SO MANY TIMES. (I never did receive any confirmation calls or emails btw) I show up at the address listed on their Unilocal website and guess what? They’ve MOVED!!! Not once was this even mentioned to me during the numerous phone calls with their office. So I get BACK IN MY CAR and head to the new location. It’s only 4 minutes from the old location. No biggie, being in the customer service industry myself, I’m always early and I have 25 minutes to spare. I get to the new location and guess what? MY DOCTOR ISN’T IN. Well, to be fair…“she WAS” but «SHE LEFT EARLY TODAY». No apology from the desk staff. No attempt to even address the situation other than to say «I LEFT YOU TWO VOICEMAILS» in a very unprofessional and condescending tone. Like I’m the jerk here. (Although, for the sake of being fair, if their boss is this unconcerned and unprofessional, I guess it’s only natural that her staff would follow in her footsteps and not care either)
However, in owning my share of this situation, I should’ve checked the reviews on Unilocal before making my appointment. If I had seen the 1 ½ star rating with 17 reviews first and read the experiences of some of those that actually DID get to see the doctor (some of which are HORRIFYING to say the least), I would’ve saved myself the hassle and went with a far more professional doctor and staff.
Maybe someone needs to contact The Medical Board of California.

After receiving an appointment with my primary OBGYN yesterday and finding out that our little fetus is indeed present and growing perfectly fine, I’ve returned to warn you all to stay away from this practice. My family was placed under undue stress and anxiety because of a hurried and unskilled appointment with Miss Patel. We could have saved ourselves so much energy by canceling our appointment with her when we first read her awful reviews.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in June of this year that resulted in a miscarriage. I was rushed to the ER after getting an ultrasound at a natural birthing center in Chino (really nice, I highly recommend them) and was admitted to San Antonio hospital the same day. The only reason I was steered Dr. Patel’s way was because she was the on-​call OB at the time at San Anton.
At the time, she was brisk but nice and I was so scared and confused that I was fine with her demeanor. I just wanted it to all be over.
I had several follow-​up appointments with her from June to August and she was always very brisk and rather vague in her answers when my husband or I asked a question. Things were somewhat resolved with the combination of Dr. Channell (another Rancho OB we really liked) and Dr. Patel, but we went in today to make sure we don’t need to do anything else and to maybe find out why it happened in the first place.
I had an appt for 3:30 and she didn’t get there till about 4:15. The receptionist said that she wasn’t sure she was coming in… uh ok. She even had me wait on my co-​pay to make sure the doctor was coming.
We waited for 10 minutes in the check-​up room and she finally came in. She was pretty rushed, ASKED ME MY NAME (shouldn’t you know before you walk in the door?!) and quickly answered our questions, even talking over me while I was asking them.
Personally, I feel like her bedside manner needs to be improved. She makes you feel like you do not matter and there are other things on her mind. This office is also a weight loss clinic, with Dr. Patel’s name under it. It make me wonder where her attention truly lies, because from all these reviews, it sounds like it is not with her pregnant patients.
The staff is nice enough, but I am never coming back here.

If I could give this «doctor» and her staff of «nurses» (or whatever their title is) fewer than one star I would. I should have trusted my gut instinct when I called to set up my first prenatal visit a couple of weeks ago, and whoever I was on the phone with was immediately rude an rushed with me. She would put me on hold for 5 – 10 minutes at a time to check what appointment slots were available, then she would tell me one option and want to hang up. I had to stop her twice and say «no, that time does not work, I am available at [insert time I said].» She proceeded to sound annoyed with me and kept putting me on hold to search the depths of Narnia for an appointment that fit my availability (my only requirement was that it be M-​W after 1pm, WOW such a wild request!).
Anyway, I wanted to switch doctors after I did go to my appointment because Patel was with me all of 30 seconds before throwing out a time frame for my return and bolting. I figured I would just finish up these first sets of lab work and move onto someone else. Sadly, I did not have time to change doctors before I began to miscarry.
Without even a shred of sympathy or a furrow of her brow, Patel told me I was miscarrying in the most monotonous, hurried way possible. She asked if it was my first pregnancy, and I said yes. But then she gave me ZERO information about what exactly would happen once the baby and placenta and tissue finally came out. She even told me I could go back to work! But I asked for a note anyway (which she gave me, but only because I asked). I am SO glad I asked for one because two days later I miscarried and it was the most horrifying scene… I received no preparation at all for that, not even a pamphlet, nothing. The entire conversation took LESS THAN 2 minutes (I recorded it, so I am not exaggerating), and she ran right out of the room without so much as a pat on the back. There weren’t even any facial tissues in that godforsaken place.
So after that, I walked out into the hallway, which faces the receptionist area. That area is not enclosed, so the receptionists or nurses or whatever were very much in ear shot. My sister was with me, and, since I was too distraught to event think of questions to ask, she managed to get a few more questions in before the doctor completely left the building. She asked what my chances were of another miscarriage, and she told us 50%! That is NOT accurate whatsoever, seeing as there were no complications and I ended up passing the baby naturally 2 days later (I did not even need a D&C). Anyway, at this point I just wanted to leave, so I go to the receptionist to set a follow up appointment for 6 days later, and she looked at me like I was embarrassing myself. HMMMM I wonder why a pregnant woman would be sobbing her eyes out at the OBGYN! Maybe it’s because, as they heard since I was 2 feet away when the doctor was talking to us in the hall, I lost my first baby. Show a little sympathy! Maybe not look at me like I should man up. But no. Then she hands me a whole bag of PREGNANCY PAMPHLETS! Excuse me, I just LOST my baby, you inconsiderate twit!
Fast forward to 2 days later: I am in excruciating pain (lower abdominal area). I call to ask if that is normal, and the person on the phone says to go to the ER. I say it is no problem, and she sets me up with a follow up for the day after. One would think that, given the emergency circumstances, the appointment I made before would be void, but back on that later. I go to the ER as soon as I can, which is about an hour and a half after I made the call (I had to take my step kids to a sitter, at which point I passed the baby, and that took about 20 minutes). While I am checking in, the doctor’s office calls me. Why? To confirm the appointment I JUST MADE WITH THEM FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY. I said, «yes I just made that appointment two hours ago, I am in the ER right now.»
After all is said and done, I go home. Next day (when my new follow up was scheduled) I received not one but TWO PHONE CALLS about the previous appointment that was now irrelevant. The first call came and I just said to cancel that one since I would be in later that day. Then I get another phone call about the SAME appointment that I JUST CANCELLED. Needless to say, I finally lost it on the person on the phone and said that entire office is incompetent, which, from my experience thus far, they ABSOLUTELY ARE. She has my file in front of her, she knows WHY I am coming in, and she still decided she would get snippy with me. I hung up the phone.
This was today, mind you. And now I am desperately trying to find a different doctor because I seriously canNOT go back to that hellhole. Losing my baby was hard enough without these heartless dumbsh*ts treating me like I just have a cold or something. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE if you have any regard for your emotional wellbeing and your pregnancy experience.

Was told that I needed a C section at just 8 weeks and ended up having a 6 hour vaginal delivery with no problems at all! Stay far away from this «Doctor» …seriously

Why are Dr. s like her still in practice? I can not believe these reviews.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DOCTOR. EXTREMELY RUDE. She was SO rude and when my husband or I asked a question she would say «I DON’T KNOW. I DON’T KNOW» She has the medical knowledge of a 2 year old. I went to see her because I just had a baby and my vaginal tears were not healing. She stuck the speculum all the way up to China (even though I was not healed yet) and I was in so much pain I started crying in her office.) She was practically yelling at my husband and me the whole time, and she caused my tears to bleed. I left the office crying because she caused me so much pain, before turning around and demanding to speak to the office manager. This woman should not be a doctor.
–EXTREMELY RUDE
–Couldn’t care less about patients
–Not knowledgeable
–Not compassionate
Now that I see all these reviews, I wish I had seen this site before going to see this EVIL woman.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!!***
The staff is horrible except for the lady at the front desk. The nurse is rude seems like she hates her job! Every time I went to my prenatal visit dr Patel was quick to rush me out of the office! she has no compassion nor does she care to make you feel comfortable. I was never able to get a straight answer from her. She is terrible!

Wish I had trusted these reviews before going. I persevered with Dr. Patel for 3 prenatal appts so this is an accurate review. The reception staff were nice. The girl taking blood pressure/​weight was consistently miserable and never even said as much as a hello. Ever. Dr. Patel rushed every single appt and was halfway out of the room before I could even ask a question. She seemed very c section driven which was baffling to me as a low risk pregnancy with no complications. I got the impression she’s very lazy and would rather schedule it to be in and out. So glad I went with another doctor and ended up having an amazing experience– there’s no way I would have trusted Dr Patel with delivering my child.

Worst OBGYN ever… I was looking for a new OBGYN that I could go to for my annuals and about fertility so I turned to help and tried out Dr Geeta. On my first visit no exaggeration she came in the room with a fetal heartbeat monitor only to figure out I was not a pregnant patient (obviously she didn’t even look at my chart) asked what I was there for them did my annual and wouldn’t answer any of my questions about fertility even though I tried to say we were having issues conceiving and was out of the room in less than 3 minutes leaving me sitting distraught and told me to come back the next week for an ultrasound for heavy cycle (never told her that) when her tech was in and Then to come back again 3 days later for my results of the pap and ultrasound. I came back the next Tuesday and got an ultrasound and the tech was super sweet and then upon my return the following Friday Dr Geeta again came in the room and wouldn’t let me speak handed me a paper with my results and said everything is fine come back in a year, her hand was opening the door to leave as fast and she handed me the paper and I never got to ask any questions. After I read the results I noticed something abnormal in the results and of course Dr Geeta was nowhere around so I
Had to ask the front desk gal about it and complained how the dr only gave me 1 minute of her time and she just said oh it’s fine, I am sure she didn’t know what else to say and she seemed to feel bad as if this might be an issue she felt with before… Your OB is supposed to be there and help and answer questions and I got nothing but a bill out of this!

PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS DOCTOR UNLESS YOU LIKE HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!
This doctor was recommended by my insurance company. So I decided to try her out. I had an appointment at 3:30,and arrived at 3:00 in order to fill out the paperwork in order to be seen. Once I was finally called back (an hour later) the nurse was very dry and asked me to step on the scale. She didn’t say hello or anything. I was then asked to leave a urine sample and my vitals were taken. I was then told to go to an exam room and undress from waist down. Few minutes later the doctor comes in and says have u had in vomiting, cramping, nausea, or bleeding I replied No. She then said OK come back in two weeks have a good day and walked out.
I was in disbelief. She didn’t ask if I had any questions or concerns. She was in the room less than five minutes. I waited in the waiting room longer than I was seen smh. I will be going to a different doctor ASAP. If I could I would give them 0 stars for service.

I should have read the reviews before I went in. I made an appointment fora breast exam because I felt a lump, plus yearly checkup. I should have known, when the Dr spoke to me and had a mouth full of tarter, if she didn’t care about her hygein she wouldn’t care about my concerns. Her hands barely even felt the area of concern. I also spoke to her about a few other things and felt like she was not listening to me and before I knew it, she was out the door. I had to have my mammogram sent to someone else to get any answers that I was looking for. My copay is pretty high, so I am not going to go unless I feel it is a huge concern. I am not surprised that many other women have felt the same. Do not go!

Worst experience I have ever had at a doctor. Tip, if you want more than two minutes of her time I do not recommend being her last patient. I didn’t get to even fully explain what I was dealing with before I was told that nothing could be done for me. On to the next doctor…

By far one of the worst experiences ive ever had with any doctor. Completely unprofessional and even added religion into the conversation as a ‘why’ recommendation was made. No privacy, and the entire staff and the patients will likely hear your situation due to lack of privacy. There is also only one patient room, which was also not sanitized as i entered the room.

Staff was not very friendly, nobody was smiling, when I finally got in the room, she came in 15 minutes and only spent a total of 5 minutes with me, she answered all my questions with, sometimes you just have to wait, or come back in a month, I left more confused then when I came in.

Dr. Patel and her staff are incredible. The office is modern, clean, and relaxing. There is a flat screen TV in the waiting room as well as several pamphlets, coupons, and various reading materials. All of the staff are friendly, helpful, and show genuine concern for you. They are more than willing to go into detail with you to provide undertanding of whatever your situation may be. Bloodwork is done in the office which is extremely convenient. Scheduling appointments is easy and the office can even accomodate you with same day appointments based on necessity. I am definitely a happy patient of Dr. Patel’s. Inland Center Medical gets my wholehearted recommendation.
