Everything started out great - Dr Patel was phenomenal and did an amazing job. I’m almost 3 years out from my surgery with no complications and keeping the weight off. He’s the reason they get ONE star. The team otherwise has caused significant problems for me. I started Wegovy last year to help break a weight loss stall. During the regimen, I moved 2.5 hours away but was told I needed to come in person every so often to continue my prescription. Fine, we’ll make it work. I go to make my in person appointment for the year which I am only available June 19th. Mind you, I still live 2.5 hours away and have a full time M-F job during the day. First I’m told there’s no availability. I asked if we can squeeze me in, I’m told I’ll get a call back and never do. After another couple of follow up’s, now there’s availability on June 19th. Great. But I’ll be out of refills before I can come in. They are refusing to give me a refill for the MONTH between running out of my medication and being able to come in. All I got was a “sorry for the inconvenience.” What doctors office just throws their hands up and says that? What doctors office just lets their patient come off a medication cold turk

First off.. Drove 45 minutes to an hour for this appointment bc the original Dr I see in Court House wasn’t available til middle or end of January and I wasn’t waiting until then to refill my prescription bc there’d be no point in taking it at that point. So I made sure I took off of work to make this appointment. The appointment was at 1:15 I arrived at 1:20 walked in the wrong building and then walked in the right building around 1:25 and was told to reschedule. There is a 15 minute grace period for appointments. Very poorly managed. And will be reported.

Dr Patel is amazing!!! He fixed my hiatal hernia and redid my sleeve to a bypass to alleviate my stomach acid problem.

No one ever answers the phones, no call backs. How do I get in touch with the office?????

My sister was brought in as an emergency with a twisted bowel and her stomach about to rupture. Not related to any surgery from Atlanticare. Dr Patel saw the cat scans and immediately rushed her to OR! He saved her life this week. She’s only 50! Thank you a million times over Dr Patel!
