Dr. Rupert Patel, MD

In 2015 Dr. Patel treated my mom like a queen and she is still doing good until these days. Thank you and God bless you!

I just wanted to say that Dr. Patel has been amazing. I can't believe I almost didn't want to come here because of some of the reviews that people left. I am truly grateful that I went with my gut and came anyway. I am very pleased with the way that he has been taking care of my sons medical issue and his staff was just as amazing!

This doctor almost killed me! He knew what to give me from my past records and refused until I was hospitalized and given the treatments he knew I needed! Please go somewhere else Dr Rupert Patel is not a good doctor his license should be revoked!

HORRIBLE Nephrologist. Does not answer office phone. It does not matter how many times you call the office or doctor on call, you will not be taken care of or responded to. Dialysis patients are money makers for Dr.Patel. From reporting false visits to the clinic hes supposed to come to weekly (youll early see him, he sends his NP (sometimes) and its very vague and brief. - very nice NP, but as a dialysis patient, I expect more than 5 minutes and asking you good buddy) and charging your insurance consistently. Dr. Patel also terminated my care via my dialysis clinic. No call, no email and no US mail (he claims he did all of this, Ive yet to receive it) to me, the patient. This is all seems very money driven, and Im not sure Patel even really cares about his patients that receive treat meant outside of his private (direct profit) dialysis canter (Bellaire dialysis) I have been prescribed recalled medicine, asked for prescriptions to be filled with no response, and inquired on my reoccurring edema even on treatment and didnt hear from or see Dr. Patel. Its unfortunate that I had a great Kidney doctor (Dr. Mauther) before Patel that treated me wonderfully and followed up with his patients and I had to change dialysis centers and couldnt see him anymore. As a healthcare professional (Speech Pathologist) its so hard for me to watch the constant poor principals and unethical practice of Dr. Rupert Patel. Its sad that he treats patients like this and even more sad that most patients are not functionally and fully dependent enough to speak up for themselves on Dialysis (thank goodness I am not in this position and can help people to avoid this.) so he keeps charging your insurance and gets away with it everytime. Even if he doesnt see you, hes getting paid for it. STEER CLEAR kidney friends. Very sad and pitiful experience.
