Dr. Rakesh Patel is praised by one long-time patient for his clinical skill, though this reviewer's experience with the practice's billing and communication leaves her far less satisfied. She describes a loyal relationship spanning roughly two decades, including referrals sent to his office, which makes her frustration feel personal. Her central complaint concerns the office rather than the doctor's hands: a bill she disputes, and a series of inconsistent explanations from staff who she feels kept changing. She says she repeatedly asked to learn the cost of anything beyond a routine cleaning and x-rays before treatment, and that on a recent visit she received the usual services plus a filling, a procedure she was not clearly informed about. Her sharpest allegation is that staff told her the doctor had numbed her mouth for that filling, a claim she firmly denies. Whether or not the billing dispute was resolved, her review suggests a clear loss of trust in how the practice communicates costs and treatment.
