Everything was good with VISHAL PATEL, M.D.

08/10/2024
Both Dr. Patel and another doctor. were well versed on my health problems, and I felt very comfortable with them.

07/26/2024
VISHAL PATEL, M.D. I saw two Doctors and I liked them. They were genuinely concerned about my health. They answered my questions which helped ease my anxiety over my condition. I still have some concerns about my condition and the direction we are heading, but since this was my first appointment with them and they are experts in their field, I will see how things transpire. But overall I was pleased the appointment went better than I had anticipated.

07/20/2024
Provider was very quick following-up on lab results and test results. He listened to me and explained to me ways to improve my current condition. I didn't feel just like a patient, I felt like I mattered by VISHAL PATEL, M.D.

Everyone in the office is amazing at Dr. V.Patel

07/04/2024
Dr. Patel and his assistant were professional in all respects and made a good impression of St Luke's mission. Any further comments are dependent on the success of my pending EGD, scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Excellent Dr

All gastro issues now very well under control after stint activity readjustment in June 2023 & latest MRI check at Anderson Campus. Left knee removed bone chip replacement with Ortho group at Anderson Campus to be next (with Dr. Saleemi) prior to New Mexico- Arizona walking trip coming up in October 2024. Excellent success to date on an olde guy turning 76 in July from the St. Lukes team - Thanks

05/09/2024
I was pleased with my visit the physician and staff are attentive, knowledgable and nonjudgmental. Very friendly and are genuinely happy for my recovery.

05/04/2024
Dr. Patel has been wonderful. We regularly correspond through the St. Lukes portal. He respondes to my questions AND those from my other doctor's, promptly. I feel I am in good hands and trust him 100%.

05/01/2024
On Point. Conversation was easy to understand and understood that if I do better I get better

04/29/2024
My experiences were all good. This was the first time I saw Dr. Patel and he was well prepared. He examined me and we had a very beneficial chat.

04/28/2024
I travel extra miles to see Dr Patel because he is a great doctor. Pleasant, knowledgeable and proactive.

04/22/2024
Dr. Patel keeps a close eye on my ultrasound and bloodwork results to make sure I'm staying within the expected parameters of the tests he orders. Dr. Patel and his interns are always very thorough, and they explain things so I can understand what's going on with my body and how the treatments/adjustments to my plan will help me get better. All good experiences as far I'm concerned. Thank You

04/14/2024
Dr. Patel was AWESOME! He listened, explained, and did it all patiently with a great deal of compassion.

04/08/2024
Dr. Patel is simply the best. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Listens carefully and explains all my questions so I totally understand the issues at hand. His personality is so great. He is a true asset to St. Luke's. An A+ doctor.

04/03/2024
I am relieved to be seeing Dr. Patel. For 14 years I have been traveling to Temple for post liver transplant care, and I was feeling more and more 'untethered' from my transplant center and unheard by my hepatologist. Dr. Patel was a member of my original care team at Temple and I know he knows my medical history. The office staff is exceptionally caring.

02/08/2024
St. Luke's physicians and staff always provide best in class medical services and information. Drs. Patel was no different. Excellent care all the way around.

02/03/2024
This visit with Dr. Patel was very positive. He looked at my previous medical testing done at another hospital before the visit and was well Informed with my long, complicated medical history.

02/03/2024
Dr. Patel and I discussed results of my recent MRI. He answered questions I had about my condition and informed me that I will no longer need to get follow-up MRIs. My recent MRI showed that everything I have going on in my liver is benign. Dr. Patel is a kind and empathetic doctor. He is one of the best doctors I have had. I no longer need to follow up with him. I'm glad that I don't have to continue to get MRIs and that my liver is okay, but I enjoyed having him as part of my care team.

02/01/2024
Dr. Patel has the nicest office staff I have ever interacted with. They are always smiling and upbeat. They go out of there way to help you. It's so nice coming to this office knowing you are going to be treated with respect and kindness. Thank you for all you do! Dr. Patel is great too!

Like always I was very satisfied with the kindness ,respect , friendly of all thel personnel.

01/14/2024
Dr. Patel is a great doctor. From the beginning to the end of my visit, Dr. Patel was very easy to speak to, a great listener, explained everything to me, and made a plan for me. HeOrdered tests and explained how he would follow up. Just a great doctor. The nurse and the receptionists were also awesome. When I left the office, I actually thought to myself what a great experience that was.

01/12/2024
Was initial appointment for me with the liver specialist doctor of St Luke's Gastro Group. Dr. Patel was well prepared for the appointment with my information, through in his evaluation tests at the appointment and clear in his follow up testing recommendations for next quarter before our next in person follow up appointment in mid-May. An excellent, knowledgeable and professional experience- thanks.

I'm very pleased with Dr Patel...he is very knowledgeable & listens to my concerns...a great team player!!!

12/18/2023
Basically, this visit was to monitor kidney, liver and other gastro-related functions. Dr. Patel ordered additional tests and scheduled me in for a long overdue colonoscopy. Currently all my numbers are satisfactory, and we want to keep them that way. All in all, this was a good visit.

12/13/2023
All good satisfied

12/07/2023
While waiting for the Doctor, he arrived through the waiting room and stopped to chat briefly with me. It's nice to have a friendly Doctor.

Feeling confident about this provider and their ability to properly provide care

11/24/2023
This was my first visit Dr. Patel at St Luke's. I have been followed by Temple's transplant hepatologists since my transplant in 2010. Dr. Patel was part of my pre and post transplant care in Phila. So very happy to have transferred into his care after all this time. So much closer to where I live in the Lehigh Valley and such a caring doctor!!
