Arush Patel, MD

Dr Patel and his staff is awesome, professional, on-​time, and makes sure all your questions are answered and explains everything fully.
From the time you check in until you check out the staff make sure you are comfortable. My surgery went without a hitch and the follow up was immediate.
I highly recommend Dr. Patel for anyone that needs his speciality.

Great doc! He really does take time to explain everything to you. He also gives you a chance to ask any questions and doesn’t rush you. I was so nervous about going in and he answered all my questions and felt confident when I left ! Thanks so much Dr. A!

I knew someone who had a bad ortho experience, so that was fresh in my mind before coming to Dr. Patel. He and his staff put me at ease right away — Patel is sharp, explains things clearly, and is more than willing to take extra time to answer any questions. Not to mention, the surgery went off without a hitch. I have to schedule a second surgery with him and hey, at least I’m not dreading it. I was really impressed by how everyone that works there loves their job and truly cares about the patients. Also, he feeds all of his patients to one particular rehab and my occupational therapist said all of her patients love him too.

I was referred to Dr. Patel by my doctor’s nurse. I called to make an appointment on December 5, 2014 at around 11:30 am. The receptionist was hostile from the moment I opened my mouth. She asked what kind of insurance I have and I replied, «Medi-​Medi.» She asked, «What’s that?» And I said, «Medicare-​Medical.» She said, «Never heard of it. We don’t accept that here.» I have always heard that Medicare patients can go anywhere so she must be out of touch. There are millions of us probably in California alone and for her to not know about it doesn’t say much about her experience, even if the doctor she works for doesn’t accept it.
It never hurts to be kind to anyone and now I am totally turned off of this doctor through no fault of his own. I would never go there because I am not going to take a bunch of baloney off a girl with a dismissive attitude every time I visit his office. Maybe others won’t want to as well.
Here is the kicker: I just looked up Dr. Patel on
and it says he accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t know what is happening here…
