DO NOT GO HERE!! I have been to many psychiatrists over the years, and I didn't even know psychiatrists this bad could be board-certified. I have been on a medication for 15 years and 3 other psychiatrists. The medication is a stimulant and going off this medication abruptly (as I told her from days when I haven't taken it) makes me unable to even stay awake during the day. Nevertheless, she decides after seeing me that she won't prescribe me the medication because she "thinks it isn't helping me." Despite my pleas that I didn't have enough to get through Thanksgiving weekend (it didn't even cross my mind that this would happen) and would almost certainly not get an appointment tomorrow, and to at least give me enough to taper and wean myself off the medication instead of losing functionality.so tha switch to whatever she recommended. She refused. I left her office to call my wife to discuss what we could do (we have a 9 month old and its not fair for me to be out and unable to help), at which point she sends her receptionist out saying I'm "disturbing the clients" and threatening to call the police if I didn't vacate the premises.

DO NOT GO TO HER. Better to pay hundreds per visit to a different doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Patel since 2004 thru the present. I don't have enough words to express how happy I am with her treatments. I have called Dr. Patel on her cell phone at 4:00am and she returned my calls, she also made arraingments to see me the same day of my episode.

I would recommend Dr, Patel to all those people that need a GREAT PSYCHIATRIST.....

And for those that give NEGATIVE posts they probably don't follow her medical and medication instructions.

Good luck to everyone....
