Dushyant N Patel, MD

I had the worst experience with this doctor today. I wish I would have research the reviews before going to my first appointment. This doctor has 3 1 star reviews on google and 3 different 1 star reviews on Unilocal except for one fake review probably family member trying to defend him (totally a fake review).
He treats his admin very, very, bad… a couple of times i even saw her shaking my advise to her is look for another job she is going to get sick working for this guy and he probably does not even pay her good. Something needs to be done about this.
As for us he went crazy because an invoice has not been paid by the insurance company submitted 9÷21÷15 today is 10÷15÷15 not even 30 days yet. Apparently insurance company is saying that its a duplicate bill… that is his issue to clear up with the insurance company and send more documentation… just because i said this he goes nuts and does not want me in the room with the patient that I went because the patient has limited language abilities. Now I have to call the insurance company and do his job… how am i going to be able to prove that its not a duplicate invoice… from previous reviews and I do agree all this guy cares is about money he even charged us to fill out a form. Now that I remember he charged us the office visit fee and another fee for the same office visit for a 1 minute test on a machine. Everybody is right we need to report this guy

Health is not something taken lightly and I wouldn’t be wasting my time had it not been for that very reason. Your post if very immature and way off, and Unilocal isn’t the kind of place for that, especially when it comes to peoples health and personal opinion. I’ve never waisted $ 300 on a purse and I would gladly spend as much money as possible to get the right health care. First off, it’s never a good thing when your doctor humiliates and yells at his front desk employees, in front of patients consisting of mostly children. This dr. made my husband do tests that were totally unrelated to what he originally came in for. When we came back for our third visit, which was now $ 75 worth copays, plus $ 600+ in tests that my husband already payed out of pocket for, he all of a sudden became very upset because he only wanted cash or check and we only had a credit card which we were willing to pay with… Accusing us for waisting his time and in front of other patients with children, and basically telling us that we can go elsewhere, which we did, we found a doctor in Pleasanton and were treated very professionally, efficiently, effectively, and respectfully.

Sounds like some people like to bash doctors without realizing they have guidelines to follow. Plus, just because the tests come out negative doesn’t mean it’s fair to get mad at a doctor who ordered those tests. Would you rather have a doctor who tries to save you some $$$ and then you miss something serious as a result? SHESSH! C’mon people, it’s your health. You’ll spend $ 300 on a purse but bitch about co-​payments and tests.
Anyhow, enough of my rant. I’ve been going to Dr. Patel for years now. Never had an issue. He really seems to care and makes me feel like he is treating family when he sees me. I’ve had some serious health issues and some minor ones, but he has been professional and informative no matter what my problem. He seems extremely knowledgeable and doesn’t want to just hand out pills like chicklets. He’d rather try and help you with minimal prescription med use if possible. I’ve also had multiple prescriptions refilled in a timely fashion despite them being busy. Don’t hesitate to give him a chance!

If I could give 0 stars I would.
He is completely unprofessional. Horrible experience. I went to get a prescription renewed since I recently moved to the area. I move around a lot and could not remember all my previous doctors information. He accused me of drug seeking for my depression medication. He was rude, condescending and heartless.
I had to wait over an hour to see him. When I scheduled my appointment, I specifically said why I wanted to see Dr. Patel for my medication renewal. When I met with him, he said that he does not do prescription renewals. Why didn’t the receptionist tell me that from the beginning?
I have never felt so uncomfortable in a doctors office. He kept on insisting on blood work when all I wanted was a renewal for a prescription. All he did was speak with me and check my heart. For using his stethoscope and few words, I later get a bill for $ 350 that is not covered by my insurance for some procedure that is coded in numbers with no description. I scheduled was an office visit He needs to be reported to AMA.
He is trying to scam patients out of money and treat them in a rude, condescending and unprofessional manner. BEWARE!
