He acts like its just a job to earn money not to serve patients

My daughter was referred to them due to her change in insurance and I double checked to see if they took it before making the appointment That is the only reason she went there and not to her previous allergist closer to our home. To our surprise she did not see the physician but a PA. They reassured us at the appointment that they accepted her insurances. Now they are sending her bills. We called the office to straighten it out months ago but the bills keep coming. Disappointed and not assured that they will ever straighten this out before they ruin her credit.

I waited over a month to get an appointment and was extremely disappointed. Since I had to wait so long, my allergy didn’t look as severe as it was originally. But, the situation was not resolved. He lacked compassion and made me feel like my condition was insignificant. He wanted me to tell him what I thought he should test me for and what type of testing I wanted instead of his recommendation. He was arrogant in his responses and said I wasn’t answering his questions and we were just going in circles. He lacks respect for functional medicine. I was already doing the things he was recommending with the exception of discontinuing my supplements. His suggestion was that I should see a university based dermatologist since it appeared that I had a skin disorder. Four years ago I went to an allergist and was never treated in this manner. Nonetheless, I will not return or recommend this doctor.

I went to Dr. Patel because he took over my doctor’s practice. From the get-go, he had no interest in helping me. I have had chronic hives since May of 2020. I was on the Xolair shot, but the last one didn’t help. He basically told me to go to a dermatologist or another allergist. When I asked for a recommendation, he said I’d have to do it and to hurry because it would take a while to get in. He also told me that he didn’t read my chart because it was too large. Now I am trying to get in to see a dermatologist and his office will not fax me the permission to sign to get my records transferred. I have called several times. They have given me a story every time I call. So now my new dermatologist won’t have my records.

I had an appointment today to see the doctor. Apparently "the doctor" means "physician assistant". There's a 99% chance that the doctor wasn't even in the building today, but the PA kept leaving the room and coming back saying "the doctor said". Why couldn't the doctor say it to my face? Oh, because he wasn't there! The PA started by saying that he was going to start and then the doctor will come in. He left. Asked for a Gatorade for me because I didn't eat breakfast. Told me that "The doctor said.." Left the room again to get the doctor, came back and told me someone drank the Gatorade. He left again to get the doctor to see me and, surprise, he came back without the doctor. I told him if I don't see the doctor, I'll go to my insurance company and he told me to go ahead. Then he said they could only provide treatment for 30 days and I need to go into Pittsburgh to see a "University doctor". I was in that room for over an hour waiting for a doctor that (most likely) wasn't even there!

Do not recommend. They kept pushing for me to get allergy shots and they wouldn't listen to my concerns that the shots wouldn't help me. Thankfully, I went and got a second opinion who diagnosed me with a non allergy issue which is now fixed. As the other review said, this placed is packed with people getting allergy shots. I honestly feel bad for those people, probably wasting a ton of money for something that may not even be helping them. Do not recommend.

Quick to get us in for an appointment. Discussed all options for treatment and follow-up. Great with children.

Go anywhere else. Our appointment for my daughter was for a reoccurring skin rash. Our stay in the waiting room was two hours, then over thirty minutes in the exam room. We wanted food allergy testing because our son has food allergies and we suspected the same thing. Dr. Patel said no. We wasted time and money to find out my daughter is allergic to ragweed. Rash is still there, excessively large bill, no doctor accountability. But he will see us again, anytime!!! Ya right.

Dr. Patel is absolutely amazing. Great bedside manner, honest and caring. He was very professional and he helped me tremendously with my condition (better than any other doctor I have ever seen). He spent as much time as I needed to explain things to me. He politely answered every question I asked. His staff are polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Wait time was very reasonable. The facilities are very clean and attractive. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you Dr. Kumar.

Very friendly. It's not often you find a doctor who listens as well as Dr. Patel does.

I had my first case of hives from stress and was referred to Dr. Patel by my pcp. I was still in college and had no clue what was going on. He danced around the fact that he had no clue what was causing my hives or how to cure them even though I kept saying they were from stress. When he noticed that he wasn't going to get anywhere with me because the hives were healing on their own, he tricked me into taking an allergy test that had nothing to do with my case and I got a $500 bill in the mail.

Very professional physician & staff. Explained everything in great detail. Listened to my concerns. Definitely will continue treatment protocol. Recommended several other people to him already. Thank you Dr. Patel!

I'd be careful before scheduling an appointment here. Took my son's here for asthma/allergy treatment and they were immediately put on weekly allergy shots. The Dr. wouldn't take the time to even discuss this with me, as their mother I felt that oral treatment was best. After deciding to take them to Children's for a second opinion, I found out that they did not need shots at all and that he likely prescribed it for the money. I was told only 10% of patients get placed on allergy shots and that's only after oral treatment has failed. Meanwhile, this office has a whole room full of allergy shots. The office is overbooked (on purpose, I think) and I don't think this guy really cares about his patients and is more concerned about the monetary reward. When the pharmacy called them for refills, they called me and very rudely told me that they will not refill unless I make another appointment...well, thanks for depriving my children of the medication they needed. I wouldn't recommend this place, especially for children! Thank GOD for Children's Hospital!!! I'd be careful before scheduling an appointment here.

This doctor is only worried about money he could care less if he takes care of your problems. I had to get a referral to go then less then 2 months later they wanted me to get another and I refused and told them to cancel the appointment which wasn't for another week. A few days ago I received a letter stating they refused to offer me any service and that I should find a new doctor. Funniest thing ever like you hurt my feelings lol

This doctor has no bedside manner and he doesn't even acknowledge it when he has had you waiting for a long period of time for an appointment. I was going to stop going to him earlier but I started seeing the assistant. However, I made an appointment with her and I didn't discover she wasn't there and they double booked until I had been waiting fifty minutes. No one called me ahead of time to tell me the situation or bothered to tell me when I checked in for my appointment.
