Shamim Y Patel, MD

Dr Patel is amazing. I just had my first baby and my entire 9 months & delivery experience was great with Dr Patel. The office staff is very friendly and polite as well. Would definitely recommend her in a heart beat to anyone.

I began seeing Dr. Patel in January for prenatal care, and continued seeing her through delivery in August.
Dr. Patel was always thorough in answering any questions I might have had, and while it was always clear that her main objective was healthy mom and baby, she was generally very patient oriented and willing to work with me on the pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum experience I hoped to have.
I will certainly continue with Dr. Patel for my routine gynecological care, and in the event that I am pregnant again (this was my fourth baby), I will not hesitate to have Dr. Patel as my obstetrician.
I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone looking for an OB/​Gyn.

Gives me great pleasure to write this review. Dr. Patel is an outstanding doctor on all counts, she is incredibly friendly, concerned about her patients well beings, and extremely knowledgeable. She was my OBGYN through my first pregnancy and delivery and I have sworn to have all my future babies with her (no matter where I have to travel from).
During my labor which lasted over 48 hours she called every other hour to check on my status & health stats-​this ticked off the nurses, however I appreciated her interest in my well being. She was my best cheerleader during labor, giving me the encouragement I needed to get through that very difficult hour. I am forever grateful and highly recommend her constantly to friends& family.

Dr. Patel is one of the best gynecologists I’ve ever been to. Even though the wait time was very long (she had labor emergencies) it was worth it. I was in the process of finding a new doctor and the last doctor was not good at all and wanted to perform procedures that were not necessary. Dr. Patel is warm and kind and is willing to explain everything and answer all of your questions. She definitely made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her!

I have been seeing Dr. Patel for over 8 years and originally met her at Northwestern then followed her to her current location. While it is a bit of a hike if you live in the city — well worth it. She is hands down the BEST in service, care and most importantly knowledge and treatment. I moved to NYC and still go back for the check ups.

Dr. Patel is absolutely fabulous! The delivery of my twins couldn’t be more perfect! The pre-​natal care she provided gave me two full size blessings and my body back!
When we discovered twins at 7 weeks, Dr. Patel was very honest and straight-​forward about how birth-​plans for twins need to be flexible, since one small thing can change the plan entirely. I was allowed to make the decisions, but from the beginning she detailed the scenarios I wouldn’t have a choice (i.e. if the twins were not head down, automatic c-​section). However, despite having pre-​clampsia, I was allowed to deliver both twins naturally!
Her decisions are based on the latest research, and she didn’t hesitate to consult Maternal Fetal Medicine on the best delivery date for twins when the mother is pre-​clamptic. She listened to our concerns, answered every question, and did her best for a wonderful delivery. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for all your obgyn needs!

In one word, Dr. Patel is AMAZING! My wife and I had chosen her as our OB/​GYN for our first baby, and can not describe how passionate she is for her career. To give you an example, we were 3 days past the due date, and we were recommended to induce. We started at 8 AM, and the baby came at 11:30 PM at night. What amazed me though is that Dr. Patel had a long day at her clinic working during the day, and then came to the hospital at 11:30 PM at night to deliver the baby. Talk about dedication! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better physician.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing Dr. Patel is a doctor every woman wants. She is professional, compassionate, and proactive. My medical health is very important, Dr. Patel gives you all the fact and is very honest. She is current with all the latest medical research. Therefor with her help you can make an informed medical decision. I am always treated well and given the best care. She saved my sons life being the expert surgeon she is. (She even visited my baby in the hospital now a days doctors don’t care that much.) As well as repaired a previous bad Cesarean. We need more doctors who are as genuine and intellectual as Dr. Patel.

In the day in age when finding a doctor with bedside manner is non-​existent, Dr. Patel is a jewel amongst the rough. She was my doctor through two pregnancies, she took my incessant fears and questions with patience and always gave me knowledge to help ease my mind. Now that she has moved out of the city, I still travel to see her in the suburbs. Before Dr. Patel a yearly exam was something that I dreaded, now I look forward to seeing her catching up and knowing I’m in the best care possible.

Like Robin, this Doctor saved my bacon too! I am so very glad one of my bosses recommended I go see her. I’m lucky that she actually moved closer to where I live, but even if she was somewhere else, I’d travel to continue being seen by her, she it truly that good!

Not to get all mushy and stuff, but this woman saved my freakin’ life. Okay okay, enough. Basically, though, Dr. Patel is amazing, in one word. She is extremely thorough and explains everything in as much detail as you need. If you’re in the burbs, do not hesitate to call her. You won’t be dissatisfied!

Excellent doctor. Can’t say enough about her.

She is a great doctor, but she is moving to the burbs. I will miss her. If you can go out to the burbs, she is def worth it. I will miss her!

fantastic doctor! very thorough, nice and talkative without being annoying.
