Im very upset. I was supposed to have a face to face office visit. Just as Im pulling into the parking lot of his office, and miss his call. Eventually when they open I was told it was a telehealth visit. My appointment reminder emails say I was supposed to have an office visit too and I saved them all and last visit you were happy to be able to see me in person, blah, blah, blah.....it was just a lie. I also had personal things to talk to the doctor about in person but he only gave me exactly 7minutes and 21 seconds of telehealth time and I never got to talk or get a word in edgewise. This doctor took me off the only medications that helpe withy severe military combat related PTSD, severe anxiety, and super severe insomnia. Now I am afraid to fall asleep because I am having bad nightmares and night terrors again. I go to bed anywhere from 4am to 6am or until Im completely exhausted where I wont dream because Im too tired. Then I awake around 6am-7am to start the day.I also asked for an increase on my anxiety medication which Ive been on for 10 years now at the same dose and he didnt. The anxiety medication is not as effective as it was. My PTSD is flaring up but you wont helpe. You just take away medications that do work, wont put me back on them, and then comes up with a stupid excuse.Dr. Patel, all do respect but I wished you knew how I feel, to be me, and live a day in my body. You then would realize that I need help from a psychiatrist because I just want to be as close to normal as possible. The military messed me up very badly, Im a veteran and you still wont help. You just say its too much benzo. Im sorry but Ive been on that benzo for 10 years now. I need an increase so I dont have a conete anxiety attack in the store because of my PTSD & anxiety. I cant even walk into a store. I order everything I need online and have it delivered and that includes groceries, medications, everything because I cannot handle being in a store or outside of the house for too long. But NOOOOOO, you wont help me. You messed up my psych medication regimen. I would like to be put back on the medications I was on before you came along so I can go to a doctor that actually will help me. I just want to be normal or close to it. I want to be able to breathe without feeling like Im choking from anxiety or vomiting from anxiety (happens everyday at least twice a day). Doctors can go to school for a long time but do not truly understand what its like to have PTSD or anxiety and what it feels like to live with it. Its all a darn nightmare. You were unfair and unjust. Please put me back on my sleep medication that i had been on long before you came into my life of not really helping me, and let me please feel normal without puking from anxiety a couple times a day.Youre making all my psych stuff from the military flare up and get worse and worse and now I dont want to leave the house for anything. Im perpetually tired because of the insomnia, and I feel awful, but you dont care. I paid $75 for a 7 minutes and 21 seconds and I couldnt get much words in and he denies me for every medication. Im a veteran who saw messed up stuff that you wouldnt believe was real, worse than then all the horror movies behind, but you still will not help. Im miserable and Im not getting any sleep, I wake up from nightmare/night terrors.I wished you knew how I feel living with severe PTSD, severe anxiety, and severe insomnia.Im about to make an appointment with my old psych doctor who is 3-4 hours south from here to be treated the right way for my ailments. That doctor who is 3-4 hours south put me on the regime you took me off of. It was the only one that worked for me and Ive tried everything. Ill forgive doctor Patel like a good Christian and give him a second chance but I still find all of that some BS.Last thing, since you have been messing with my medications so much, youre going to give me seizures which you will be responsible for. Ill just make sure they take me to Tampa Community Hospital and get admitted. Thanks!

Just started seeing Dr A. Patel and so far hes been great. He listen to me about my problems and anxiety. Does just throw me out the door with meds. He is exactly what I was looking for. Someone to talk to about my problems. Thanks Dr H. Patel for listening and helping me get back to me. I would reccomend him.

I you want someone to prescribe you pills hes your candy man, but if you want a doctor that will talk to you as a doctor hes not the one for you. His assistants are worthless. They can get anything done and dont return phone calls. They hold refills hostage and force you to make another appointment before they call in a refill. My last visit the doctor said he didnt need to see me for 2 months but he didnt write me enough meds for 2 months so I had to call for a refill. She told me you have to schedule something now or we cant call in ant refills. Read the chart lady!!!!!! Hey Dr. Patel did you know your assistant was doing this? Whats funny is there is a constant flow of people in and out of there. It looks to me like this guy is running a pill farm. Long story short dont mess with this doctor.

Dr diagnosed me with Schizophrenia. LMAOWow...all i cud say was WOW!He asked No questions. Zero.No psyche eval. No history review. Nothing to actually review my mental state...Come to find out i had a simple side effect reaction to a medication.I want to sue him...anyone else have this type of misdiagnosis lets start a CLASS ACTION.Hes completely incompetent if he has given up and simply diagnoses to get paid. What Mental Health PhD is going to prescribe medicine without ever asking any questions?How does he conclude to diagnose some innocent normal minded person with something so drastic as Schizophrenia?Hes a tool...

Dont know who they saw this dr dr takes his time very professional when i read reviews like this must be drug addict cause this Dr dont write for anybody expect what i need to live nice staff up front just so different from my experience

Dr Harshad Patel has been an incredible Dr to me! He has listened to all of my problems and concerns, knows my past and cares about what is currently going on with me. Im sorry that others feel this way but I think he is a great doctor who does not over prescribe like most of the other Doctors do. Also, he is not for baker acting anyone that I have seen unless they clearly need it! He is not rude or dismissive, he always has a smile on his face and shows genuine concern for me. Maybe he didnt feel you needed a service animal thats why he denied it. He does also work in a real psych facility for people who have insurance and who are not sent to the joke at PEMS.

Doctor is a nice guy, doesnt talk much. Assistants are the worst. Dont return phone calls and arent nice. Impossible to get anything done unless you show up to the office in person.

AVOID THIS DOCTOR!! I walked in and waited an hour which is normal now days for new patients. When he came out he called me by my first name, again no big deal but what really upset me.....as I walked up to great him he looked me up and down and scowled. He did not offer a handshake, just turned and said follow me we walked into his office and he started in on what type of insurance do I have and that I need to make sure I pay my copay. I was infuriated, this man was all about the money. Very self serving and obnoxious. He was very condescending and made me feel like I was not worthy of being seen by him. Being an Indian doctor he was very snooty and I have numerous friends who are from India who are fantastic people and have good hearts. THIS MAN GIVES HIS OWN RACE A BAD REPUTATION!! Shame on him for not being true to his medical oath and shame on him for giving his own people a bad reputation. The entire clinic had over 50 (no exaggeration) patients waiting. He made it clear that I would need to see him once a month. My doctor of over 15 years saw me every three months to renew my script. He lied and said that per the DEA he must see his patients every month. I happen to know for a fact that the meds I have been getting for the past ten (10) years you have to go in every three months NOT EVERY MONTH!! Dr. Patels practice is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and he could care less about the patient. AVOID THIS TERRIBLE DOCTOR!!He does not deserve to be called a doctor.

This Man Deserve no Stars. Nobody likes this Man has issues Him self I plan on filling A complaint with Medical Board And Sueing Him. In court.

He tried to prescribe me meds with in 2 minutes of talking to me. He didnt know anything about my past.
