Bhaktasharan Patel, M.D.

Dr. Patel and the whole medical staff were more than perfect!!!

Great Dr!!! Chicago connection with Evanston

well done, didn't feel a thing

Been going to him for years. I trust him 100%.

Took the time to explain things and provide a path forward.

Apparently everyone loves him because he was an hour behind his schedule. But he was worth the wait.

Caring and professional-excellent

Such a nice guy! Extremely professional, thorough & genuinely kind!

He is so confident I feel I can trust my well being to his care. Excellent doctor I'd recommend to other people.

Dr Patel was very gracious to see me even though I had the wrong appt time and arrived late.

Not knowing any of the staff made me anxious so I made an appt with Dr. Patel before my procedure . Great office visit! I can’t say enough about the staff at Peak Gastroenterology Associates and Dr. Patel . From the front desk lady to all the staff who worked with me in the back , I’ll just say they were awesome! Very professional and caring and that made me feel so comfortable ! I appreciated how they showed me they cared and their reassurance that they would take good care of me and they certainly did!!! On a scale of 1-10 I’d give them 10 plus !!! Thank you all for the wonderful care !!.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable, seems to enjoy his work

He's the greatest

I had the 'double up' endoscopy and colonoscopy. All went well.

He has always been great! Very forthcoming with communication!!

Even though I arrived 9:45 for a 10:30 appt. My escort still had to remind them I was here twice. And wasn't put in a room til 10:45. He didn't come in for another 10 min or so. I ended up losing the scheduled ride home and had to call for another.

Very kind and reassuring.

He did a good job.

Dr Patel seemed very competent as did surgical team, anesthesiologist

Everything went smoothly.

Great professionals

I had very little face to face time with Dr. Patel. He came in to have me sign a consent form and left. I saw him walking back and forth in the hall outside my room talking on his cell phone for long periods of time. I was scheduled for a 2:30 appointment and didn't get in until 3:40. No explanations were given for the long wait. It felt very impersonal and frustrating.

Great doctor really cares.

He's the best. Very knowledgeable and explain things in a way easy to understand what he doing. Great Doctor

I was unhappy with my first appt but thought I’d give him a 2nd chance. It was no better. The only time he “sees” me is when he opens the door. For the rest of the appt, he sits and types on his computer. I expressed 2 concerns of mine and his only reply was “hmm” as he continued to type. I won’t be returning to this clinic. I suppose when I make a complaint to his superiors, he can say he saw me, look at my notes”. I felt like pulling out my phone and playing a game while he typed and never asked me questions or explained the scope and fibroscan I had.

I would have given him a five, but he was late coming in.

He is a awesome doctor happy to be his patient. Thank you Dr.Patel for everything.

I have been a patient of Dr Patel for many years. He is top-notch in his profession. He has a elegant and magnetic personality. He is always joyfull and kind. He listens to my complaints and provides a resolution in a gentle manner which is what I require. He knows stuff and is always able to provides the healing I need. I appreciate him very much for his more than satisfactory solutions. I highly recommend him.

He didn’t listen to my dr about taking the stint out. When I tried to talk to him about it he left the room mid sentence.

Great doctor. Excellent colonoscopy with zero issues.

Amazing experience. Dr. Patel did a great job informing me and keeping me updated as to how the process works. The Anesthesiologist did a great job as well making sure I was informed as well.

Very polite and professional

Made me feel comfortable.

Friendly, great bedside manner!

I waited from late October to February 1st for this and he maybe spent 2 minutes with me. He is really good at doing colonoscopies but is very short and quick when it comes to appointments.

Very professional

Dr Patel is the great. He actually gave me a positive outlook to my life! Very caring and patient!

Very proficient and professional.

Have no idea. Still what problem is. I stillnwake up every single morning with comstipation and sick to my stomach sometimes vomitimg. I take Pepto Bio for that.

Apparently my prep for the colonoscopy did not work. I did have a polyp that was found and now I need to do another one. Nobody came to talk to me about the polyp found. I was just told by an assistant,” You didn’t do the prep.” Which is completely not true. Would have liked to speak about the polyp and what the issue with my preparation might be but was nit given an opportunity.

No issues at all

Very professional

Dr. Patel is always very pleasant and easy to talk to. Very welcoming!

Excellent doctor!!

Such a wonderful experience. I got both my EGD and my colonoscopy done. The instructions were very clear. The prep was not too bad and definitely worth the health benefits. The check-in process was easy and the staff at the facility were excellent. Dr. Patel and Mitzi were extremely professional. The sleep was wonderful and the care I received from all of the staff was top-notch. Thank you for taking care of me and providing such a wonderful service to the community.

Much better experience with Dr Patel than with the previous doctor that I saw some years ago.

Amazing knowledgeable provider. Wouldn’t change him

My trusted ‘inside guy’!

Excellent visit. Appears to be very knowledgeable and friendly.

Very professional doctor and most hospitable and cheerful staff.

Very nice and helpful with my health concerns

Phone access needs improvement. I tried to call office 4 or 5 times and couldn’t get through. Couldn’t even leave a message. Recommend anesthesiologist tell patient he is about to inject solution. Sudden stinging made me flinch thinking the needle was being pulled .

Dr. Patel is kind, professional and skilled in his field. I highly recommend Peak Gastroenterology to everyone.

Busy office , but very efficient. Dr. Patel along with his staff were all professional and friendly.

He was lighthearted and easy to talk to.

All good.

Very up beat and caring. Everything went so smoothly!!

Keep up the good work

Always has the most positive attitude.

Very professional, excellent report.

Doc Patel is superb. Great sense of humor and wonderful bedside manner.

Very nice man...

I was called two days before to come in early. I arrived at 6:45, checked in and then was the 2nd person to be taken inside and fitted. After 1:10 i had to go to the bathroom and heard members of the staff talk about Dr. Patel being late quite often. I finally was taken in for the procedure after 1 hour and 20 minutes. He never gave me any indication of the results after the procedure.

Excellent doctor, friendly and makes a person feel safe.

Would liked to have spoken with him after procedure.

Procedure was swift and comfortable!

Dr. Patel seems very thorough. He took the time to review my medical history & past test results.

Have been a patient for number of years and always appreciate his attention to any problems and time to explain things.

Very nice pre-procedure bedside visit and explanation.

Efficient, personable with a wonderful staff.

Doc was very business like, no warmth there, but he did a good job, so that's what matters.

Great experience, other than the prep...

The procedure performed by Dr. Bhaktasharan was very quick and painless. After the IV was placed in my arm, the doctor explained the process and the next thing I know, I was waking up and the procedure was complete. I would recommend Peak Gastroenterology Associates for this procedure.

Dr. Patel is an excellent doctor who listens very carefully to his patients and gives them all the time that is required.

Dr Patel answered all my questions and made sure I felt well to go home

Very informative. Always pleasant m my sling you feel comfortable.

Overall, excellent experience.

Dr. Patel is always very pleasant, patient and professional. Great staff and overall practice.

Thank you Dr. Patel for quick and easy procedure.

Dr. Patel was very professional and I believe he cared for me as a patient.

He is ok, not so attentive or show concern to a patient. Unlike other Doctors that I met and took care of me. What a waste of money I spent in this Doctor!

Very pleasant and willing to explain any issues or concerns.

Dr Patel was awesome!

Difficult to rate a doctor with this being my only experience with the procedure. The Doctor was professional and kind. The procedure went off without any negative issues.

Informative, funny and professional.

Clean and friendly atmosphere. All the staff were a pleasure to deal with.

He barely talked to me and did not explained anything after.

Dr. Patel is very kind, helpful, and thorough.

Dr. Patel and the entire staff were absolutely incredible!

The setup is amazingly efficient and Dr. Patel was kind, thoughtful and through.

Very pleasant and answer all my questions

Always makes me feal better

Dr Patel is very friendly and engaging. He patiently listened to my questions and concerns and is thorough. I highly recommend him.

I felt like he was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great doctor very helpful

Terrific Doctor

Dr. Patel was very professional, friendly and kind.

I would of wish he went into detail as to what will happen. Before having me sign

Had a great, friendly crew. Moved me right through like clockwork.

The doctor came in to see me right before the procedure. Not to apologize for being an hour late or if I had any questions but only for the purpose of signing a form. When I asked if he would be speaking to my wife he said yes. He ended up not speaking to my wife.

Professional caring service. He is a great doctor.

Dr Patel did a great job!

Dr. Patel was very thorough and took quite a bit of time to review my extensive medical history and my current concerns. I appreciated Dr. Patel taking immediate action with appropriate labs and future procedures. He scheduled me himself, which I thought was super kind, being that he could have easily sent me to the scheduling department. Being an RN, with an MD as a husband, we both thought that Dr. Patel went above and beyond for me during the appointment. We feel very lucky to have found him to be part of my care team.

I appreciated him taking the time to explain in layman's terms about my situation. Especially why he wanted me to have another colonoscopy this year. The prep for them is so awful, I was not happy about having another one so soon. But he helped me understand the importance, and maintaining my health is very important to me.

I had to ask if he was the doctor, did not introduce himself. Offered little to no information about the procedure or follow up.

Very nice and welcoming

Everything went well! The staff was very helpful and explained all that was going to take place. I also appreciated that the office called the next day to ask how I was feeling after the procedure.

Excellent treatment from start to finish.

A doctor who truly listens to his patients. Great visit and would recommend him to my family members and friends.

Only Dr I trust!

The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. As for the Doctor he said 4 words to me. "Can you sign this" Otherwise he treated me with indifference. Honestly, I didn't even know he was the doctor because he didn't introduce himself. When I went to the room for the procedure he was there. Again not a peep from him. Still didn't know if he was the doc. This was not confirmed for me until I saw his photo in this survey. My overall experience was great. I just think Doctor Patel needs to work on his bedside manner.

Excellent!

I guess everything went well. The Dr barely said a word to me before the surgery. He didn’t even introduce himself. He just came in with a paper and said sign this please. And I didn’t see him at all after the surgery.

Outstanding care and staff

Dr Patel is very easy to talk to, friendly, thorough, and professional. I highly recommend him.

Very personable, professional, engaged and very competent!

I met Dr.Patel In the emergency room with a bleeding ulcer. He’s a very thorough and honest doctor. I appreciate that in a physician.

Great patient care

Repeated calls to Dr. Patel's nurse were unanswered even though I left messages for a return call. No response from Dr. Patel or staff to questions on portal.

So efficient and responsible to explain outcomes.

I have had Dr Patel for many years he always listen to my concern and is always very kind.

No bedside manner. Handed me the consent to sign AB’s never talked to me.

Came in bleeding and Dr Patel never took a look. He just said need to get you in for a colonoscopy tomorrow. Scheduler called me and said my BMI is too high and I have to get this done at the hospital. First available appointment is June 17th. End up having to go to the ER since this practice doesn’t care of someone is bleeding. They could not admit me to the hospital. Think a medical office would have a plan in place if the doctor wants them to get a colonoscopy the next day. So this will end up costing us more since the doctors office refused to call the hospital and get me admitted right away.

Excellent service and a very professional doctor.

In and out. Original appointment and procedure. Knew the answer before asking the question. Little interest in what I thought the problem was, or why I was there. You asked.

Awesome bed side manner! I could t have asked for better care. The ENTIRE team was exceptional!

Friendly, efficient, thorough, knowledgeable and more.

My colonoscopy went very well. Dr. Patel and the clinic staff are very professional. I appreciate their care.

Very thorough and professional amd friendly.

Dr Patel has done 3 colonoscopies for me over the years. He spends time explaining the procedure as well as the staff and explains the results afterward. He is a great GI physician. I definitely recommend him.

Very knowledgeable

Uh .. I don't remember a thing - which in other circumstances would not be cool but in this case is a very good thing!

I only met Dr Patel for a moment (except for when I was under and he performed my colonoscopy) but he seemed nice.

This was the rudest most inconsiderate doctor I have ever met in my life he did not look me in the eye he did not want to hear my side of the story he wouldn't do anything I asked him to do he was horrible!! He has no empathy or feelings for his patients I would never recommend anyone to go back to him ever and I complained to my doctor about him.

I just as very well taken care of by the doctor and his staff. I would highly recommend

Very personable. Only complaint is that I was kept waiting in the patient room for about 40 minutes!

Dr. Patel did a great job, once he got there. He kept patients and staff waiting for almost an hour for the afternoon appointments. Must've had a long lunch.

This rating does not reflect the high level of experience of the doctor. I was confident that his expertise was beneficial. I did feel it was a "warehouse" process lining everyone up for their respective procedures. The staff was very friendly and caring. The preparation area was cramped and not very private. I have 20 years of experience with upper endoscopy procedures (this one was my 10th). The doctor was running behind on a Friday afternoon. He came into my prep area and said hello...."I need a couple of signatures". That was the only communication from his the entire time. The discharge nurse gave me the report and I was done. Again, I had concerns about his professional ability.

Years ago before I moved from Colorado he was my Dr. and he always treated me as a person rather than just a number back then. I always respected that about him and his practice.

Very knowledgeable, personable, easy to talk too, caring and relates to his patient.

He is amazing. Very caring yet direct. Has cared for me for years. Refuse to see anyone else. Hope he never retires.

Friendly and excellent clinician

Greatr

Full information Everything goes smooth i do appreciuate it

I love my Dr. He is the best! He will not prescribe you anything more than you need and he is good at what he does!

Rude

Always the nicest people, treat you with kindness and sympathy. Doc Patel is the best!

I waited for over an hour to be called back, 15 minutes in the exam room. Then waited 15 minutes after seeing the doctor waiting for his medical assistant to give me some information. The medical assistant took my blood pressure through a thick flannel shirt. I trust the doctor and will proceed with his recommendations.

Excellent job

very smooth and easy. Professional.

Procedure was fast and professional.

Doctor did not even read me results after a procedure.

Great doctor!

Always treys his patients with respect and dignity. Soo interested in each patients health and checks me out thoroughly and cares so much about the health of individuals. He is a very sweet, caring, but professional Doctor. I highly recommend him. You will be so happy you made the appointment.

I trust Dr Patel implicitly with my care. He has provided excellent treatment for my chronic atrophic pancreatitis.

Thorough, concerned, knowledgeable, on time, efficient.

Shame on me!! I thought Krishnan was bad!! Dressing in suits does not make you a good doctor. Yet on this day, Dr. Patel said one word to me and I quote, "signature!" No, "Hello, its nice to meet you or in my case, "How have you been? It's been awhile since you were here." The staff were very kind and personable. I'm sad that they have to work for/with a man with no character values. The end.

Was very nice

I have been seeing Dr. Patel for over 20 years. He has always taken the time to listen, and I have never felt rushed. He is still going to urge you to go the direction he wants. But he has always given the reasons behind it.

Dr. Patel really took time with me which helped to calm my nerves. Great personality and excellent doctor!

Best doctor. Takes great care of his patients.

I find Dr Patel to be a very caring and thoughtful physician.

Nervous going in but quickly put at ease. I felt Dr Patel was very focussed on my understanding of the procedure he was about to undertake for me.

Loved the dr. He had the friendliest laugh. I know I’ll be in good hands now

Dr. Patel and his team were very professional and kind.

the service was excellent!!! Thank you!

Excellent doctor. i have had him for years and he is a very nice doctor he's very good at what he does.

The best there is in EL Paso County. Very difficult to reach so DO NOT MISS your appointments!

Dr. Patel was friendly and comforting.

DR. PATEL DIDN'T INTRODUCE HIMSELF OR EVEN SAY HELLO BEFORE HANDING ME A FORM TO SIGN. THEREFORE I RATED HIM 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5.

I was well cared for when I had my upper endoscopy.

Excellent doctor!

Great team at Peak Gastro! Highly recommend!

Dr Patel is the best. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

All the medical staff were very friendly, explained everything and made sure I didn't have any unanswered questions. Very impressed! Dr Patel was so reassuring. Really appreciated how I was treated!

Really cares about his patients. Easy to talk to and is a good listener. I felt like he had my best interest in mind when he was discussing my plan of care.

Very patient oriented and exceptional knowledge. Made me feel very at ease and confident with his actions.

very knowledgeable and patient

I've been going to Dr. Patel for several years and he is so easy to talk to and discuss my gastro issues with. Nice man.

Explained thoroughly each step I needed.

Dr. Patel have been treating me for last 17 years for my chronic decease of Ulcerative Colitis. He saved my life.

If ur looking for a referral from me , give yourself continued kisses and accolades on your video marketing.. Didn't do crap for me , refused to see me , even after getting an approval from peak vista !!

I have been Dr.Patels patient for over 12 yrs, I would recommend him to anyone

Dr Patel and all others who helped me were wonderfully efficient, as usual. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks to all.

Didn't do much of an exam or listened to my gi system just poked then when he walked out he screamed COLON AND FECAL TESTS!!!!! So unprofessional, what happened to HIPPA!!!!!!

He was very efficient. I would’ve appreciated a little more time talking about what he was going to do during the procedure but all went

Nice guy and very smart.

Everyone was very professional and accomadating. Pleasant experience. Would recommend Dr. Patel to others.

Very thorough.. very respectful towards patients and most knowledgeable in his field in my opinion since knowing this Dr for close to 13 yrs.

Dr. Patel and Staff are top of the line healthcare professionals that work in unison to provide the very best medical care. I have total confidence and trust in Dr. Patel to deliver thorough and concise results.

Dr. Patel is top-notch. He instilled a high degree of confidence when he took the time to explain their state of the art equipment and it’s benefits. . He is very congenial and his caring attitude was very comforting.

One of the few doctors I trust.

Very pleasant and professional

I was a little nervous about my visit but Dr Patel was easy to talk to. He is knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor. I feel confident that he will be able to help me with my issue.

mine was easy next time will be the key to a great rating

I had some hope during the first visit. Dr. Patel seemed to know his area of expertise. On the second visit, I waited over an hour and spent 5 minutes with the doctor. I came in empty-handed and left empty=handed.

I will only go to Dr Patel!

I love Dr. Patel.

At the top of his field of medicine. Trust him with my life. In fact I did!. Wonderful attitude and professional manner.

Didn't talk to me much, but was very professional and amenable. Good sense of humor.

The whole staff was wonderful!

Great doctor

He said there was anything he could do for me. No need for EGD because the one from last year was ok and there where no changes in a year. No concern or care about my symptoms. I told him I was concerned about me taking Zantac previously and he replied that it didn't have anything to do with it. Told me to stop taking my current meds for gastritis and prescribed a new one that he said my primary doctor could have prescribed herself. He didn't even check me. Is he a real doctor? You've got to be kidding me!

Very caring doctor and listens.

Dr. Patel always has a pleasant demeanor. This visit was no exception.

Dr Patel is awesome. He listens to the patient, and explains everything in detail. He's also very upbeat which is a plus, especially if you are anxious. So glad I started seeing him!!

Excellent!

Smooth experience start to end Total staff very pleasant

Funny, easy to talk to and thorough.

It went well. No complaints.

was in a hurry ,did not explain or address concerns i had

first he knows what he is doing.. bottom line

I have been with Dr Patel for over 10 years. He is a very caring & a listening doctor.

Hell NO!! I’ve had 2 previous hemorrhoid bandings. This is by far the worst!! I left bleeding in debilitating pain. I couldn’t sit driving home. Cried all the way home. I have never been in this much pain IN MY LIFE!! He seemed like he was in a hurry, possibly last patient for the day. I will wait FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES for doctor Douglas Nguyen!!!

Nothing but professional people work here. I love this place and the very friendly staff keep up the good work

He knows me and cares about my health. I have been with Dr. Patel 5 years and would not change!

Nice to meet the doctor and staff. Everyone was very professional and friendly.

Dr Patel makes the visit pleasant. I highly recommend him.

Great "bedside" manner. Answered all my questions. Didn't feel like he was rushing to the next patient, gave me the time to understand my diagnosis.

Dr. Patel is fine. The office staff needs to return phone calls and follow through with scheduling.

Great doctor, professional and kind.

The only Gi doctor I trust

Outstanding Doctors & staff!

Whenever I see Dr Patel I leave his office with a sense of optimism, regardless of the prognosis.
