Dr. Pradip Patel - Where is the DEA!?!

Doctor Patel has been a great doctor to ME. I go to him as my family doctor for cold flu shots etc etc. Being without insurance he is one of the cheaper doctors that will see me. I do notice however long lines to get into his office. I once over heard two people talking about "pain management" and I have to admit alot of his patients look like junkies. He is a great guy and doctor I would really hate to see his practice ruined by junkies who are taking advantage of him and his scripts!

MOre and more doctors are pushing pills. I"ve noticed that with the 3 different doctors I deal with. They always have a new pill to push me. I feel like a guinea pig. I usually tell them what side affects I suffered and they then prescribe me another set of pills. MD should stand for MEDICINE Doctor not MEDICAL.

He doesnt ask questions and will prescribe whatever u want but in small enough doses that he cant get in trouble w DEA. Not to mention do u have any idea how much money he makes?!?? He sees like 100 people a day....6 days a week. He is absolutely paying SOMEBODY off

Did you go and get what u want or did a relative go and abuse there medicine? Which is it? Cuz hes agood doc and even better person me and my family have been going to him for years. Its not him that is the problem its the people that that lie and abuse legitamite medicine!!! Do u know him personally then u know hes foreign and people take advantage of that and snow him over ITS NOT THE DOCYOR ITS THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO HIM! He is the closest, nicest, best, and one of few doctors that take my insurance. True lot of p ero ople look like junkies however there the ones that throw tantrums when they cant get what they want. I see it all the time. If your complaing then you probably didnt get the prescription you wanted! Hes good honest doc with crooked patients!

Dr. Patel is a good physician! He listens n try's to help. Who r u to judge "a lot of his patients look like junkies"? What does a junkie look like, your kid or your mother?

. Its funny you say that, I love Dr. Patel and have been going to him for quite a while however he will NOT prescribe whatever you want, I recently asked him to put me on a medication that I was on a while back with another Dr. and was told I had to have my records faxed over so that's bs! Also, you don't have facts that prove how much he makes or that he's paying anyone off so stop bad mouthing a great doctor!!!

yes Dr. Patel is a very nice doc..but he also gives out percocets like candy..I know for a fact he has been shut down twice by the dea,n even got caught selling scripts out his back door..they give him 50 dollars then he writes whatever u want..Where r the Dea
