Dr. Patel was extremely attentive and interested in me as a person. I arrived with two pages of questions all of which he answered BEFORE I asked...he is thorough and I feel like I'm in good hands for my procedure on September [Date]. He also encouraged me to return later that day to meet the heart surgeon who will be assisting him....It was an encouraging visit from start to finish.
Providence Patient
He is a very person to easy person to understand, and he seem to make sure you understand what he is talking about.

I felt like Dr. Patel had my best interests as his main focus.
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel carefully listens to my concerns, gives a thoughtful response, and acts on my concerns when indicated. He never acts rushed. He is also very responsive on My Chart. I am grateful to have him as my provider.
Providence Patient
Didn't feel that the provider was aware of a drug counter indication until I brought it up through my own research
Providence Patient
Dr Patel is great!
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel is a kind, considerate doctor who cares and listens to his patients. When I was reluctant for years to take a statin that many doctors, including him, recommended, he was open to considering an alternative. I showed him a study about a non-statin that was producing the same benefits of a statin. He said that was reasonable, and after taking the non-statin for five months, we both were happy with the results: a lowered LDL from [ID] to [ID]! He's reasonable and attentive.
Providence Patient
We were taken in before my appointment time that was a first, and nice. The doctor gave us clear cut information that needs to be addressed in the future
Providence Patient
During the appointment I gave Dr Patel a list of questions about my condition. He addressed each and every one of them to my satisfaction.
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel is a compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable practitioner. I had to wait 2 months for the appointment. He was worth the wait.
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and communicates his thoughts effectively. My concerns are taken seriously and addressed adequately. I am very confident in the care he provides.In the past three months I have seen or communicated via MyChart with Dr. Bruce Tucker or his staff. I also have great respect for Dr. Tucker for his knowledge, concerand follow up. Rarely do I get a personal call from a physician, but from Dr. Tucker I do.
Providence Patient
I don't feel well cared for.I had a heart attack & am in AFIB. 3 years ago. I gasp for air when I walk & would an effort made for a procedure to help me. I have thus far been unable to tolerate most heart meds & was even hospitalized for shock due to my inability to tolerate these meds.But either this is the end of the line for me or there is something else to try.Dr. Patel told me in the beginning that there were lots of things they could do & it was MY idea to try a conversion. Couldn't tolerate the med so I couldn't have the conversion. No plans since.

Very good
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel is wonderful, he explains things very well, his staff is also very knowledgeable and nice to talk to you. Dr. Patel has my best interest in mind all the time. My only concern, on a different subject, is with Provident. Providence will not except my wife as a patient because she has Insurance., Partnership as her primary, finally, they got her a doctor out on [Location]. Hopefully this will be good, but I am 70 years old. She is 50. I don't know if she is getting the proper care, I would be happier if she was with Providence, because I was born in [ID] Hospital and I know. [ID] has always taken very good care of me. I don't want my wife to die before me. What can I do about Insurance, and of course I hope it doesn't cost anything, feel free to call me. With any information you might think of. Thanks, [Name(s)]
Providence Patient
Excellent care provided. My biggest concern is the prescription medicine as It appears the Insurance company Is keeping me on edge on getting refills approved (blood thinner). Other than that everything being provided for my medical care has been excellent. [Name(s)]
Providence Patient
Dr. Patel listens to everything I have to say he's very knowledgeable gives good advice and is not rushed.
Providence Patient
Dr Patels office is always very helpful and gets right back to me when I send a message.I get an appt right away when needed unlike alexander valley health care which takes months so you don't need one any more.Thank You and every one that works there for taking good care of me.I do think it would be helpful to have a drs list or sign when you get off the elevator at each floor
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr. Patel is the best! He's my mom's cardiologist also.

Dr. Patel was highly recommended by a nurse Practitioner who sees almost all the doctors practicing there. I was very impressed with him at this first visit and will undergo a procedure from him shortly at the hospital.
Providence Patient
Everything was great as usual
Providence Patient
This provider is excellent about an argumentative, expressive patient like me. He is firm, without getting "up on his 'high horse'."
Providence Patient
While It's not easy to get in to see Dr Patel immediately, I understand he's a very busy man and had a full schedule of patients. He is always responsive, kind, thorough and professional. I feel very lucky to have Dr Patel as my cardiologist.
Providence Patient
Dr.Patel was patient and listened to everything my wife and I had to say.
Providence Patient
Waiting time is nearly "0". Always on time, very unusual for a doctors office. Always friendly courteous service. I feel I have the Best, Most Knowledgeable Cardiologist on the West Coast.

Providence Patient
Clearconversation and recommendations.

Providence Patient
All personnel were extremely welcoming and polite, and also made me feel right at home with conversation and obvious concern about me as a person and not just as a "patient". I actually look forward to appointments knowing what a friendly and concerned group they all seem to me.

This provider performed a vein ligation on my husband's leg approximately six years ago. It was a success and he is an excellent physician.
