"I love Dr. Patel and Collen . Doctors know what you feel and how to treat you. I'll advice my sisters to pick him for primary care physician. I was very impressed. Very pleased to come in to see him. I was so dissatisfied from before it was such a long wait with other providers until I found Core Care Clinic.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Ankit Patel! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely takes the time to ask the right questions and really listen. I never felt rushed, he was thorough, explained everything clearly, and made sure I fully understood my care plan. Super approachable and caring, exactly the kind of PCP you want. Highly recommend!
