    Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable on the things he talks about, also practices what he preaches.

    If you are in a hurry don't recommend. Our appointment was at 11. Got here early at 1045. The…read morewaiting room was overflowing including all around the office people were waiting. We waited for hour and asked someone and that was when they got us back to get vitals. Took two people to get ekg to work. Waited about 20 more minutes for nurse practitioner. We have been here 2 1/2 hours and still haven't seen the Dr which we've been told he will take another hour with us. I originally gave 2 stars because of the crazy wait. However after leaving for hour to eat we got right in with Dr. He was very knowledgeable and listened to all our concerns. He made sure he has a good grasp of the medical history. All the staff was also extremely nice.

    I thought if would be a positive experience seeing Dr. Sami but it was everything but positive. I…read morewas disappointed when I noticed they were having all patient1 do the same exact testing. They set up the office in Baytown for echo, nuclear stress test etc..testing is done there except a CT scan that the insurance doesn't recommend because isn't necessary. This test is done elsewhere because the insurance doesn't cover it so they can't bill it. I found out soon after that Dr. Sami doesn't do stents are any type of procedures any longer.He only does the testing of this facility.Because that's where he makes his money. If you need anything other than a test they refer out yo people they know. Even the bloodwork had to be done in his office even though my labs aren't covered by them. I completed the testing and I found a new cardiologist but almost a year later they are still trying to bill me for things they didn't cover. I returned a heat monitor that supposedly takes your blood pressure and they monitor but it doesn't work and they dont monitor it. I returnd it and seen others returning it as well for the same reason. They sent me a bill for $20 and I was supposed to get a refund because my account was paid in full. I have called so many times no one ever calls back but the last name Terri said they have lots of people calling for the billing lady and she understands that I dont owe the money. Six months later I got a bill from a collection agency and they said it was a billing mistake thst I owe $70? My insurance has been notified of the scam for charges I don't owe and for me not to pay them because they have been paid in full. I will call once more tomorrow and if they don't help me I will file with the BBB and take whatever actions needed to stop this harassment and scam.

    The lack of care and medical understanding I received from Dr Milinda Avalos was incredible…read more At the first office visit (a yearly check up) I was shuttled in and out as quick as possible, and I did not have time to ask any questions. Then, my labs showed one slightly elevated liver enzyme, which Dr Avalos incorrectly diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I fed my numbers into an AI bot and the bot had the intelligence to ask if I'd had a hard workout recently. In fact I did, and I'm guessing the AI bot was more correct. More galling, I asked Dr Avalos what to do about the NAFLD. She basically said "IDK LOL," and if that wasn't bad enough the app let me know the response was generated by AI. She couldn't care less... Next, I asked to go on zepbound. Dr Avalos prescribed it for me (BMI above 30), but told me it would only be for a month while my BMI was above 30. I showed her the data from Eli Lilly showing that this is supposed to be a long term / maintenance drug, and if I go off in a month obviously I'm going to regain the weight. I showed her clinical data that confirms I should stay on through lower BMIs. I showed her insurance data that said I should stay qualified as long as I qualified at the beginning of treatment. Again her response was basically "IDK LOL!" Cannot recommend avoiding this place at all costs if this is the type of person they have giving medical advice.

    Terrible institution no matter the branch is all of them are all about $$$$. They dont care about…read moretheir patients frequent violations of patient rights forced use of their facities under denial of service penalty if you request image or labs orders for a third party of your choice(because they always overcharge at least twice of other providers) they deny the release of the order, long periods of wait mostly attended by medical assistants rare if you see a Doctor for more than 10 min even if on specialist consultation, DO NOT GO TO ANY KELSEY SEYBOLD SITE THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. LOOK EXPENSIVE? THEY ARE ABUSIVELY EXPENSIVE.
