We drive over an hour to see Dr.Patel and I don't mind. I wouldn't take my daughter anywhere else-even if it were closer to home. She's compassionate, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. I've always felt that she really cares about my daughter and she isn't just another patient. The entire staff at the clinic is friendly and pleasant. Wait times are always short.
