I went to check with Dr. Patel's office after I had eradinos and congestion, sinus injection. He took care of me very well and he gave me the right medication. He checked me out, he checked my chest and he found like I have bronchitis. So he gave me the right thing. I'm feeling better now. Thanks to Dr. Patel because he took care of me. And I recommend anyone, any patient to see him. Thank you.

I have been a patient of Dr. PATEL for over 20 + years, I have I have been Blessed to be able to follow as he moved on to different providers, Dr. Patel is a wonderful Doctor, and very much appreciated,

I think the reason why I didn't get a very good response from my doctor is because of the situation that went down. I was arrested on a misunderstanding, which ended up being a domestic violence, and it was dropped. The charges were dropped by the district attorney and by the so-called victim. I had felt in the gel with my handcuffs and stuff around me, and I hit my head three times, hit it on aluminum, sorry, stainless steel bench, and then the steel pole that held up the stainless steel bench, and then the concrete. And then while it fell, I also was pulled it and hurt my middle and lower back, and I requested x-rays.

Dr. Patel is a phenomenal doctor, very consistent, very patient, very thorough. Greatly appreciate him. He services not only myself, but my mother and my sister, and has done so for many years. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you.
October 22, 2025
Always have a great experience when I see Dr Patel. He puts me at ease and it's easy talking to him. He takes the time to chat about my overall health and wellbeing and goes over each area of concern. He's great.

I was happy to see that the lab was open again. In July I had to go to Quest for a blood test because there was no technician to run the lab. It appears there are much fewer Dr and medical assistance working in this building than a few years ago. I don't know what's going on there.

My office location has changed, and I'm no longer close to the PIH on Artesia. However, I am willing to make the longer drive to visit with my treating physician. I am pleased with the PIH medical facility, especially all the nice people who work there.

Trust is a big issue as you age, my doctor Patel is extremely aware and provides superior care to me each time I have had an appointment with him. I hope he stays with your group throughout my tenure on this planet. Take care.
September 02, 2025
Yesterday I had appointment with Dr Patel to inform him of changes in my conditions and treatment changes. I informed him that I had X-rays done earlier at the same facility. He looked at the X-rays and explained the results and also explained the changes in my conditions and what I need to do. Dr Patel always explains my situations so that I fully understand. I always trust DrPatel. I am so grateful to have him. I had a very good visit and I left feeling much more understanding and reassured.

Dr Patel is easy going and very clear on explaining any questions that you may have.
March 18, 2025
M doctor listens well and I got all my questions answered.
March 18, 2025
My only complaint, though minor, is that prior to my appointment I had completed and submitted my patient registration on the PIH website. For some reason that information did not save properly so when I arrived for my appointment, I had to revisit that process with the receptionist. Regardless, the office receptionist very politely walked me through completing the questionnaire a second time, making this minor inconvenience a nonissue.
March 17, 2025
Dr. Sanat Patel is very co-operative, easy to deal with, courteous and gives fullest attention to my ailment plus explains remedies in simple language whenever I visit him for any medical problem. His smiling face and attention to my problem makes my day. I have high regards for Dr. Patel and gladly recommend him to my family and friends.
February 26, 2025
Okay, yeah, the staff was great when I signed in because I sat... I mean, I lived by myself for 22 years and I'm a talker. Anyway, they were so nice, you know, and I really appreciated, you know, the time. I mean, it was only just a couple minutes, but the thing is I did chat a little bit. And Dr. Patel is great, you know, he's... I don't know how to explain it anyway, but he is, I have a lot of confidence in him and just the way, you know, I could tell that he really cares. Anyway, that's it. Anyway, I guess that's it. Okay, bye-bye.
