I’ve been a patient for over 10 years. It’s been getting worse at the office the last couple times I’ve visited. Patel himself was very rude about one of my doctors and used aggressively rude profanity. Today I called the office as they left me a voicemail to reschedule an appointment I had for months, due to Patel not being in. I call and I’m put on hold, they say one caller ahead. 20 minutes later I assume there’s a glitch in their phone system so I hang up—thinking I can tell one of the office members when they answer the phone. Instead they answer very quickly to where you can’t get in a single word, and said 4 callers ahead of me. I should have just called back later, but something about them not allowing a single word in before being put on hold bothered me. I called back, many times, trying to have them speak to me like a human and have a 30 second conversation instead of placing me on hold. It was at a point where I was extremely anxious, and this was taking a lot of time out of my morning. Finally I get connected, to where the office staff was clearly just angry at me. They said if I had an emergency I need to call an emergency number… I couldn’t even explain what happened to me at that point as I was so flustered and angry at how inhuman I felt to how they were treating me. Having office staff be so rude to not even speak to a patient briefly is beyond me. I do not care to go back here. I’ll be surprised if they’re open another 10 years, many folks in the AV are not a fan of Patel that I’ve spoken to. It’s a shame.
