My kids have been going here since they were born. Staff is great, the docs here are great. Katie at front desk is fantastic, friendly, and sweet to the children. The staff that also takes measurements, weight, etc, are kind and understanding towards kids. I haven't seen any of them lose their patience even when kids are shrieking. They are pretty good about accommodating last-minute appointments (eg. Kid woke up sick that day). read more

This is a truly amazing doctors office and everyone makes sure you are well taken care of. We grew up with care and guidance from Dr Sangeeta Patel. Ruty NP, who we have been recently transitioned to, specially made our difficult week much better. Her diagnosis of the symptoms was accurate and treatment worked beautifully thus restoring health and normal activity to our household. Ruty is very compassionate and has a excellent sense of how to make kids comfortable. Katie at the office is so supportive and prompt, she made sure we were seen that day knowing the conditions. This office has always stood by us and I look forward to continuing to give us strength and care in the future. read more

She's both my children's pediatrician for a 2 and a half year old and a 2 month old. Dr. Patel is very nice and answers all my questions if I have any. Three times that I've called for an appointment to see my sick child, they were able to schedule me that day. Her staff is friendly too. Cant ask for a better experience overall read more

Dr. Sangeeta Patel at Docs for Kids has been our family pediatrician for over 16 yrs. She is the jewel of Orange County! Our family drives from Corona just for her wonderful care. Her office is always welcoming, clean, and running on time. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. We always receive a follow up phone call after "sick visits". Her entire office staff is amazing! My daughter (pictured below with tears) is terrified of shots...she is always treated with gentle patience. All of my children trust & love Dr Patel (and her office) -- and I do too! read more

As I write this in a new city and state trying to find a new doctor for my baby, I think of my son's first and only pediatrician and almost get emotional. This has truly been the best office and everyone from the staff to the doctor to the nurse practitioner have been beyond caring, attentive, helpful, and supportive. I initially chose this office due to location but I truly lucked out. As we all know finding a great doctor is so hard, let alone trusting one for our new babies. As a first time mother, it was nerve wrecking to go to the doctors after my son was in the NICU for weeks and daunting to be around doctors again. Then I met this wonderful office and everything changed. I truly looked forward to visiting and bring my son. I wish we could have stayed but unfortunately had to move out of state. I truly want to thank Dr. Patel for her efficiency. I want to thank Katie and staff in front for all their hard work and truly running such a well organized and great environment. You will not find a more caring and kind office staff. When my son first visited and was a crying wreck, I was too and so overwhelmed and Katie came to rock my son's car seat and calm him down while I finished all the paperwork. I will never forget that. I also especially want to thank the nurse practitioner Elizabeth. She is truly one of a kind and I wish my son could've been seen by her as he grows up. She is always attentive, remembers your every detail, and truly such a warm hearted and wonderful person. Not only was she the best person for my son to see, but I looked forward every Friday visit just to see her because she truly encouraged me and always gave me the affirmation and boost I needed to hear as a new mom. She has no idea how much I needed to hear her words of encouragement and the feeling I was doing something right after I left her appointments. I truly cannot praise her enough. If you are lucky enough to live in the area and in need of finding a remarkable and caring peditrician, office staff, and safe and trusting environment for your child, you have found your place. They treat you with the same care and love they would for their own kids and there is nothing more you could ask for in life. Everyone makes you feel like you are the only patient and remembers you and your child's name. I cannot recommend another office more highly than this one. Thank you all for your kindness and professionalism. You put a first time mom at ease every single visit. read more

Been bringing baby here since birth and we just made it to the two year mark. Everyone is friendly and nice to baby even when when he's a curious little toddler and wants to go in every room! Honestly we are happy coming here and they have always responded quickly when baby is sick and I'm in a panic. read more

Dr. Patel is great! I used to bring in my nephew when he was a baby and I love the office and the doctors so I decided to bring my first baby here. My insurance wasn't covered so I went through the trouble to change my health insurance just to be able to bring my now 9 month old. Also they are great with appointments and usually are able to give you an appointment the same day you call. read more

I've been coming to docs 4 kids since my little one was born in the hospital four years ago and then I had my second two years ago. We've always been very happy with their service. The people at the front desk are always so helpful. Especially Katie, Gladis and Diana. Dr. Patel takes her time to answer all our questions. You won't regret coming! read more

Dr. Patel is absolutely amazing! My daughter will be a year in March and she has been nothing short of FANTASTIC! She always explains everything so deeply and really cares about my baby girl! Dr. Patel was actually my pediatrician when I was a kid and I wouldn't want my daughter to get anything less than what she provides! It is absolutely outstanding. The staff here is great and always answers all our questions we might have regarding insurance and everything that comes with adding a new addition to the family. They are so great! I can honestly say there isn't anyone better out there! read more

I love this office! Both my children have been coming here since birth (over 3 years). The staff is so helpful and sweet. They always manage to make the dreaded doctors visit so easy and stress free. Two thumbs up! read more

Brought our daughters here when we lived in Tustin. She is absolutely amazing!

We were recommended by my OBGYN to got o Dr. Patel because that's where she takes her own kids. We visited the office and got to meet Dr. Patel and the staff and everyone was very nice and we loved the small office feel. With our first child we were in and out of the office a lot because our son was in daycare at 3 months. We were always able to get an appointment the day of which was helpful for first time parents. Now, we have a daughter and also take her to Dr. Patel and she just loves her. We are so thankful to have found such a kind and caring doctor and staff to take our children to. read more

I have been taking my daughters with Dr. Patel for more than 8 years. I am very happy with Dr. Patel's service, she listens to our concerns and does a great job explaining. My two teenagers are happy to have been under Dr. Patel's care. The staff members are very caring too. I recommend this pediatric office. read more

Dr. Sangeeta is may be smart but she do not have patient, always hurry to finish up her appointments. She never give enough time to patient. and she expect parents to know all about medicines. She talks so fast and do not give enough information about what to do to cure sick child. Now she has new Dr. Sharma she seems nice but her and Snageeta's opinion about medicines never match. and Dr Sharma never calls back if you leave her message about any urgent matter. It happened twice where I left message and my PH# with nurse to give Dr call back but she never did. I am very disappointed with these Dr. I am wondering to switch with another Dr. read more

This review is for the office staff, not just Dr. Patel as she was not who my daughter was mostly seeing. Katie, and the other girls in the front were exceptionally nice from day one. They took us in late, vaccines needing no appt, and always had smiles on their faces. In 2 years my daughter saw three different doctors, and they were all friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I decided to change doctors because the Tustin office is too far from us but I do wish Dr. Patel would open an office in Orange - we'd go back in an instant. I highly recommend this doctor's office to anyone living in that area. A+ read more

Doctor Patel is the nicest doctor. She is up front and makes sure you know everything you need to take care of your kid. My son has been going there since he was born and she is wonderful with him. He is still young, but he doesnt mind going to the doctor. Even the On-Call is great. If you call after hours and leave a message they are really good about getting back to you asap. Would recommend them to anyone. read more

She is not listening to you The problem is that she is always thinking of what tells you next and filling the forms on computer to give you print at the end and she is not listening to what you say ! also more caring about money than you.She charged us double (!) when my child was sick and I asked why and they said because she is ill and the price is different.She also sold me the samples of the vitamins she had and later I saw on the label is written for sample not for sale ! not recommended. read more

Dr. Patel came highly recommended by both my OB and my best friend. I can not say enough wonderful things about her! Before I committed to taking her on as my baby's pediatrician I was given a tour of the office and shown where all the meds were stored. Everything is very clean and organized, the staff is also kind and helpful. I also really appreciate that I can call in the middle of the night and speak with someone if I have any questions about my children's health. She has cared for both of my girls (ages 3 and 1) from the very beginning and I could not be happier. She is knowledgable, kind hearted, and she always makes it a point to show compassion to the kids. read more

Dr Patel has been our pediatrician from the start. They are always kind, professional and caring. We recommend Dr Patel and her staff for your children as well. read more

Dr. Patel was referred to us by a family friend who went to her for years until her children were grown. I was a first time mom in 2009 and our newborn baby girl became VERY ill at 5 days old due to a pediatrician named Dr. Winkelman who misdiagnosed her and was treating her for something she didn't have. Dr. Patel got us right in and knew exactly what was wrong with our baby, we went in every day for 5 days for treatment and dodged getting admitted to the hospital because of Dr. Patel. I am now a mom of 3 kids and they all ADORE Dr. Patel. Anytime I have called with a concern she emails or calls me right back and gets me what I need. I have called on vacation and even after a cross country move before we had a doctor, I called her with concerns and she helped us. Dr. Patel is a gem. Truly an amazing doctor. We have come in the office with some pretty weird things and every time her and her team have diagnosed and treated our kids exactly how it needed to. I truly can't say enough good things about Dr. Patel. We love her and are so thankful for her and the care she gives!!! read more

Dr. Patel is a great pediatrition! From the moment our twin boys were born 4 weeks early, she has always made their care a priority. The staff is extremely friendly. Whenever the boys are sick, we can always get them into the office right away and they are quickly seen. Dr. Patel is professional and knowledgeable and we highly recommend her. read more

For starters this is my first time writing a review on yelp, and there is a reason for that, I'm not one to complain. Now with that being said I am very disappointed by how this office treats their clients. As a first-time mother who has suffered from postpartum depression I am deeply saddened by the disrespect this doctors office showed me. After dealing with some issues with my daughters insurance they refused to see us due to money issues. Any doctor that turns away a young family and their-month-old baby should be ashamed of themselves. Clearly they only have one thing on their mind and it's not helping children it's collecting the money. The day they turned my family away I walked out of there in tears. If there are any young parents, new parents or just parents in general reading this I would recommend finding a different pediatrician. There are doctors out there that want to help you and i'm so thankful I didn't waste anymore of my time or my daughters time. Seriously just keep going down the list of pediatricians. read more

Please take care of your your child and don't bring him to Dr. Patel. She is an absolute abomination of a pediatrician. We were traveling to northern California to visit my sons grandparents when my son became very constipated. He was to the point where he was crying and super uncomfortable. We had previously called the doctors office and one of the doctors other than Patel told us we could use Miralax to make him comfortable. So we purchased the Miralax and realized that it didn't have a dosage for my infant son. We called back and Dr. Patel was the doctor on call. She said that she would NOT give us the dosage of the Miralax because she didn't prescribe it. I told her that the other doctor did in her same office and if she could just help us/my son get comfortable. Dr. Patel said she doesn't suggest anything and that I had to change his diet over the next four days. I begged her and said "my son is crying and super uncomfortable can you please help him now!" She REFUSED. She also said to not waste their time by calling after hours about constipation and how to make him comfortable. During that evening, my mom was so distraught over my son that she was in tears too and at that point we were all crying. Another time late in the evening my son woke up crying with a high fever and vomiting and called the office and the doctor never called back. Dr. left a message the next day and said that they assumed everything was ok????? At his one year check up they are supposed to do a blood test that checks their cholesterol, sugar level, iron etc. and that was NOT done. Had no idea about this because I have different health coverage finally and saw a new doctor and they asked if it was done and I said Dr. Patel's office never mentioned it. They also don't inform you when your child's next recommended visit is. When you go for a visit, they just tell you that you missed your appointment??I never received any calls or was told when he is supposed to go. I just thought it was every six months so that is when I would call office for an appointment. Took him to be seen for croup and it was the sixth day of it and wasn't getting any better and the issue of concern was that I needed to find another Pediatrician in less than a month because we were waiting until 2 years in order to give our son the MMR vaccine. We have given him all other vaccines. She did NOTHING for his croup and said that if it gets worse just go to the ER. She said he seemed fine.???? She rushed us out of there after her million miles a minute way of talking and won't answer your questions. I said can you please help my son,it gets worse at night and if she knew about croup and it being that many days she would have given him a steroid to shrink the swelling. Instead here we are at 11pm, I had just had surgery a few days prior and here we are that same evening driving to the ER because my son can't breathe. The reason I took my son in that day (my sister-in-law was helping out with my son since i had had surgery and I couldn't lift him and needed to rest and sister-in-law had rearranged her schedule for drive from HB to Tustin) was to avoid going to the ER. I thought she was a knowledgable doctor and could help. Instead we are at the ER from 11pm to 2am (husband and I ended up having to drive separately driving which was a no-no for me) I had already gone to Dr. Patel's office which took part of the early afternoon to mid-day and was already done physically after that visit. Here i was driving to ER by myself at 11 pm at night only to wait three hours for the steroid that Dr. Patel could have given. We had been up the previous nights and my poor husband had his last day of training that evening, so when we got home at 2 then hubby stayed up till 4 to finish his training that day then slept for 45 minutes and got up to go to work. ALL of that could have been avoided had Sangeeta Patel done something about it at the visit that day. Dr. Patel is just negligent and has no concern for your child. (I was told by a neighbor about Dr. Patel and she had said she was great and that she would call back and even follow up with her and her son and if she had any further questions after every visit and even check up with her randomly which is why I chose Dr. Patel) I never experienced any of this with Dr. Patel and I am sad and embarassed I have to bring this card to play, but the lady that told me about Dr. Patel being so fabulous with her time etc. is the same race as her. I hate to think that that would come in to play and would have her actually treat patients differently which makes me really sad. I thought when you took the oath as a doctor you are there to treat the patient and not let anything else like race religion etc. get in the way of how you take care of your patients. I had chosen her because I though she sounded like an exemplary doctor and just got a doctor that is rude and tells you that you are wasting their time. Nurses are lovely though! read more

Dr Patel has been my primary care physician since I was born. Ive come to the office numerous times for check ups, sick visits, vaccinations, and yearly physicals and have always been treated well by the staff. The office is well kept and very clean. I have always felt comfortable and welcome there and would highly recommend Dr. Patel as a pediatrician. You can tell she truly cares about her patients. read more

I do recommend docs for kids very clean and good service. I have been taking my kid for their physicals and check up since they were toddlers. I really appreciate how Dr. Patel and Dr. Kar take care of their patients and for my kids. They provide great service and it is noticeable that the healthcare providers love their job and love helping the patients. read more

Dr. Patel has to be as best as they come. Anytime I have to go to the doctor's, there is no tension because she is so caring and understanding. She always listens and knows exactly what she is talking about. An incredibly knowledgeable doctor that I would recommend to any other parents looking for a great pediatrician. There is just a kind and friendly environment and Dr. Patel will ensure that your kid is treated properly. read more

Dr. Patel was referred to us by my wife's Obstetrician who also takes her kids to Dr. Patel. As first time parents we figured when a doctor recommends another doctor we should at least make an appointment to visit and check it out. Dr. Patel's office is small, personable and simple which reminded me of my pediatrician's office growing up. The staff is great and they always treat our kids so well. Dr. Patel and Dr. Sharma are awesome and take great care of our kids. We have been fortunate to not have too many reasons to visit the doctor other than routine visits. But as first time parents Dr. Patel and staff did a great job of helping us through the paranoia of parenting in that first year, where every cough or sniffle seems like the end of the world. We highly recommend Dr. Patel she is taking great care of our little ones and we couldn't be happier with her and her offices performance. read more

Dr. Patel was recommended by my wife's OB who uses Dr. Patel for her own children. Dr. Patel introduced herself on day 2 in the hospital and we were so glad she did because my wife's milk hadn't come in and our daughter was starving and hospital would not allow any formula. My sister just had her baby and didn't see her pediatrician until after discharge. During our hospital visit Dr. Patel placed the order, formula was brought into our room by the nurses an hour later and our baby got her first meal. My wife's milk eventually came in but the formula was a godsend in the interim. We always have a lot of questions at our wellness visits and Dr. Patel is knowledgeable and patient with us. Dr. Patel didn't hesitate to accommodate our request to space out the vaccinations. Staff is always upbeat/friendly and we've never spent more than 5 mins in the waiting room. Our daughter is now 6 months and is healthy happy baby. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel for newborns. read more
