I have had the pleasure of sharing a client with Dr. Patel within the past year. She is dedicated to her clients, easy to communicate with and always open to collaboration. As a practitioner working primarily with those that have eating disorders collaboration is vital to a client’s recovery and treatment plan. For this reason I would be more than happy to share clients with Dr. Patel in the future.
