Patel Gita J DPM

I thought Dr Patel was great! She took the time to carefully review my situation and explain the options. She is prevention oriented yet careful not to prescribe a treatment that is not yet necessary. She came highly recommended by a friend too.

I can only agree with the previous review… DO NOT VISIT THIS PODIATRIST!!!
I had an ingrown toenail taken care of. Post procedure I had a very serious infection which lasted for several weeks which was extremely painful.
Eventually I had to visit the Emergency Care Unit. They confirmed a deep infection and a possible pocket of pus under the remaining nail. They took x-​rays because they suspected that the infection had gone into the bone. In the end I got 10 days of antibiotics. I was out of pocket for these treatments.
There are other factors such as I did not go to the follow up appointment, this was because there was no infection at that point in time. I could not get an appointment back at Dr. Patel’s office because of their restrictive office hours. In fact it was Dr. Patel’s office who suggested I go to Emergency Care.
I asked that Dr. Patel not bill me for the outstanding payment of $ 80 because I had the infection and I am out of pocket for the Emergency Care visit. Her response was «no».
as a FYI… I found out afterwards that a friend of mine went to Dr. Patel as well and received poor treatment/​service. He ended up at the hospital as well with an open sore that would not heal.

Do not bother to go to this doctor for more than the removal of a corn. I have a problem with my left foot due to an old injury which causes my foot to lean outwards when I walk. This woman sold me some sport arches which caused my left foot to lean outwards even more — causing more pain. She did mot even offer to fit my foot with a mold. When I suggested that she just said — yeah that’s a good idea! I was in an extremely cranky mood and in a hurry so rather than have an argument with her — I took the arches and gave them away! Next time I’ll do my homework!
