Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2022
Dr. Patel and the staff at Colonnade are first class. Everyone is extremely professional and so kind. She came highly recommended by my doctor and I’m so glad because she is wonderful. She’s extremely knowledgeable, very nice, and so upbeat. For my colonoscopy, I didn’t have to wait and I was treated so well. Everything ran like a well oiled machine!
