Dr. Raj Patel

In my early 20's I was experiencing strange and seemingly unrelated medical symptoms. Each series of doctor visits would play out the same, beginning with a doctor telling me that it was strange for a girl my age to be experiencing such maladies and reassuring me that they would get to the bottom of it. After a few tests, the doctor would say that there was nothing wrong with me and send me away. Then each indication would disappear on its own and a new one would appear about a month later. After a while, the doctors started looking at me sideways and I began to wonder if I was just being a baby. I wondered if these were just aches and pains of daily living and if I should just learn to “suck it up.” So that's what I did. Until my mom almost died from a mysterious illness. She found Dr. Patel in the nick of time who diagnosed her with Lyme Disease and she began treatment. It was then that I found out what typical Lyme symptoms were and began to wonder about myself. Then there was a realization that my mom has had Lyme for much longer than we previously thought. I went to Dr. Patel and tested positive for Lyme and a few co-infections.

Dr. Patel is unbelievably thorough in his testing and treatment protocol. It is obvious that his goal isn't only to heal your ailment, but to make your overall health better than you could ever conceive of. We are still doing some clean-up work, but I am Lyme free for the first time in my life and it's great. I feel better and have more energy than I have in a really long time and we're still moving forward. I can't imagine how fantastic I'll be feeling when he's done with me, and can't wait to see what that looks like. I have learned so much about myself along the way, have a new appreciation for life, and will never take this body of mine for granted again! Thank you Dr. Patel for helping me and for saving my mom's life. I am eternally grateful for you and wish there were more doctors like you who are kind, brilliant and genuinely care about their patients. Everybody deserves a Dr. Patel in their life!

Truly excellent care, knowledge and expertise.

Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor. He thinks outside of the box, explains things well, and has a fantastic staff.
