Providence Patient
All my expectation on the care provider has been extremely satisfied good job to the working team keep up the good work .
Providence Patient
Usually blood work is ordered prior to my appointment. At my appointment the doctor goes over my results.
Providence Patient
I had to stand and wait for the staff to finish chatting and giggling for the acknowledged I was in line. I was the first appointment with a doctor and have to wait over 30 minutes for her to come in. She checked out my breast and said everything looked good. I said I would hope so because that's the other breast that happy lumpectomy radiation. The schedule is not very patient friendly. I have to take a whole day off of work just to see her which is ridiculous. I don't think she does video visits which would be really helpful.
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel was aware of all my medical conditions and asked about each one. She also provided expert advice on future care and what role I could play in my health progress. She spent a lot of time with me and was very pleasant.

Providence Patient
I think that Dr. Patel is frustrated with my situation. I appreciate her candor but when I showed emotion because of my chronic pain she called me a crybaby. She said that I was smart and should have determined that I need to see the neurosurgeon to discuss back surgery. Btw, I do not want back surgery until I have exhausted all other efforts. I do not believe I need an oncologist so I may stop seeing her.
