Richa K. Patel, MD

I had no issues

Was good

Like how she approaches medicine

Excellent experience with Dr Patel.

Good

Great care

Dr. Patel has a reassuring but factual persona. She is considerate, recalls patient facts (i.e. Hearing impairment). She clarified concerns related to supplier delays on specific medicine.

Only have had the best experiences from Dr. Patel.

Very Good

Dr. Patel was very informative. She even included my husband in the conversation. Which I found very thoughtful.

Excellent

Great doctor

Provider has a very bad attitude and does not listen to what the problem is and does not try to help.

Scheduling of tests following my visit was very quick.

Pa Luke. Is awesome

Attentive, polite, knowlegeable and communicative.

I was prescribed a medication that has adverse side effects when taken with an existing medication I am already taking, this was not brought to my attention by my care provider but by the pharmacist when I went to pick up my new prescription. My provider also shows a lack of understanding of my needs, forgets to order labs, and doesnt show a great understanding of the area of care that I need. I have brought up needs that I feel should be addressed and symptom thats are presenting themselves and have been disregarded. I feel that my needs are not being met and my quality of life is suffering due to this.

Very Good Experience!

Dr. Patel is awesome. Has gotten my Dexcom which has greatly enabled in the control of my diabetic condition.

Very good

All good

Only cared about my weight

She was a great listener and I was very comfortable with her

The most engaged endocrinologist I have encountered

My experience was great.

All good

Shes fantastic got my illness under control

Dr. Patel is the best diabetes doctor I have found. She is there to assist in my medical needs. Willing to call me when needed to make sure I am doing well for the weekend.

Dr. Patel was wonderful, she answered questions and we discussed my insulin medications she was very thorough and helpful.

She appears to be very knowledgeable and I felt as if she was taking my thoughts/ideas into consideration as to my care. I appreciated that very much.

Good

Provider spent too little time and did not ask me what kind of endocrine conditions I have and only said so I am here about my thyroid. She didnt ask about my sugar levels and I have hypoglycemia.

Great

Doc seems to talk down to me, appears a little snooty. But I guess she is supposed to know what she is doing.

She was very dismissive and condescending. I just felt judged for my medical history. I felt uncomfortable with her during my appointment. Also, she was very unsympathetic with my Insurance Issues.

Awesome

Excellent

All great

My care provider was just awesome. She spoke to me about my health and explained everything easily. I will be glad when I am not needing her services, but I will certainly miss getting her care.

Excellent repoire, courteous and calm.

Excellent experience

Superb and thorough

An excellent visit, she listened, looked at me instead of keeping her face on the laptop. Gave me clear verbal and written instructions . The laptop watchers are particularly annoying to me.

Very good

Not good, rude she told me my appointment was a waste of time.

Only my second visit but this seems rushed compared to my first one.

Provider was excellent addressed all id my concerns.

Dr. Patel is an awesome provider. She is thorough, kind and professional. You do not feel like she is rushing you out the door. She makes sure all your questions are answered. The other thing I found truly phenomenal was that I sent a message to her on a Sunday evening knowing that Id get a response when she read the message during the week. Dr. Patel responded to me that night. She is a rare find and Im grateful she is my Dr.

Great

I really enjoy seeing Dr. Patel. Shes a great listener and asks detailed questions. She makes me feel comfortable and allows me time to think about my answers instead of rushing me. This allows me to provide more accurate information and receive better care.

Excellent

Dr. Patel is a very knowledgeable, caring doctor. She was listening intensely and understood everything I was going through

Very thorough and explained procedure extensively

Very hard to reach provider for follow up. Takes a long time to respond to messages through portal. When finally does very contrite.

Dr R. Patel was amazing. I was experiencing anxiety from health issues but her caring demeanor put me at ease. Shes EXCELLENT!

Dr. Patel is so patient with me! I have a lot of trouble remembering, now that I am older. Dr. Patel will explain over and over if I need her too! She is wonderful.

Everything was efficient and smooth

Everything was excellent

This was my first visit and have a 30 year history of thyroid issues. Dr. Patel spent less than 10 minutes with me, which I felt to be a bit minimal for a first visit.

Very excellent wish all the providers were like her

Dr. Patel. Was excellent, addressed my concerns and explained things well.

I didnt feel I could discuss my health concerns with this provider and this was a first time visit! I felt rushed even though I was taken back late. One of the first times Ive felt that way in Baycare. I also then waited over 10 more minutes for the assistant to come back with my lab requisitions. I spent three to four times more time waiting for care than the care I actually received. I will likely look elsewhere for endocrinology support.

First time that I met this Specialist. Tried a year ago to get services, but Baycare did not accepted my TRICARE insurance at her facility. My PCP helped and Ive got an appointment.

The Bloomingdales facility is just as good as any of the other offices in the bay care system.

Very kind and very informative. Open to other possible issues with my health.

Good

Very good

She listened and answered all my questions and I left with a plan for follow up care.

Liked how she explained the different test options available. I did feel a little rushed.

It was great.

Good

Dr. Patel was very easy to talk with. It was my first visit, so she will gather my previous results and evaluate for next steps. I felt confident with her knowledge and understanding of my condition.

I am somewhat happy with the Doctor however I dont think she saw me as needing help, because its such a long time for my follow up! Which is very difficult for me. My medical problem is certainly affecting the quality of my life, and I find day to day living very difficult.

Knowledgeable and thorough

Dr. Patel did not and has never physically examined me. Had she done so, the problem with my thyroid would have been picked up sooner. The problem was diagnosed through blood work. Other Dr.s have examined me despite the covid pandemic. I also find her to be very distant and impersonal. She does appear to be very well versed in her field and in tune with all the latest research.

Everything always goes very well.

Everything has always been great.
