Rasik Patel, MD

Dr. Rasik Patel has done miracles for me and my family! I had very high (600) Triglycerides and cholesterol for several years before I first saw him. The previous doctors had me on a diet of practically nothing but grass, plus strong statins for 3 years. After all that the triglycerides, HDL and LDL could not be balanced (one will improve at the expense of the other).Dr. Patel right away diagnosed the issue, and put me Advicor (much milder medicine, with no statins), plus got rid of the unsustainable diet-​restriction, asking to «live normal life, eating with common-​sense and moderation.» Just 8 months into the treatment ALL my triglyceride, HDL & HDL became better than normal, all the while eating normal food and finally enjoying life. It’s been 3 years since then, and I am still in normal range!
Dr. Patel takes the time to ask detailed questions to come up with holistic diagnosis. Case and point was how he diagnosed my chronic skin rash issue. He correctly diagnosed that no medicine was needed, just change the laundry detergent! One more thing that I really appreciate is his availability to answer questions by emails. His office also takes prescription refill request for the maintenance medicines by email, a major convenience.
