Dr. Shilpa A. Patel, MD

you know...i just wanted to be able to rave about Dr Patel. For a mother of a new born she and the Northern Valley Pediatrics practice is a god sent. I have had more than one occasion when i need to call them late in the evening. I got the doctor right away and they are helpful with what I should do then or asking us to come in the next day....but what I wanted to rave about was that they called me to check. My son had a high fever and had visited them already but the called up the next day to check up on him. My son loves them.

This doctor, I found as dogmatic and does not have any practical approach. Somehow, her opinion is totally different in particular for food intake for my 3 years old. I have transferable job and my child has been with three different doctors so far. What others two advised me are different than her. She put my child on diet restriction which was an awful. Please avoid her advise on food intake, dairy and vegetables in particular.Overall, my view is - avoid if you can..
