Dr. Rahul Patel is one of the very few doctors that I am loyal to and will follow him anywhere. He has been my podiatrist for over 3 years. I found him kind, thorough, knowledgable and easy to talk to. I’ve never felt rushed and he always took the time to answer any questions and discuss my treatment options. He did a comprehensive study of my walk, alignment, xrays and of course feet. Diagnosed and addressed my foot pain issues (neuroma in both feet) with the aid of custom orthotics which have been helpful. Besides orthotics he will recommend other remedies such as the right kinds of sneakers and footwear, we did physical therapy exercises, Morton's neuroma taping and steroid shots to relieve pain and he used a hypervolt gun which is like a very intense massage to your feet! Dr. Patel was diligent to make me feel safe in his office during this time of COVID-19. His appointments were well spaced out and room was thoroughly disinfected after each patient. His new office is in a shared working space which is well-designed, calm, and even has wifi. He is an EXCELLENT physician who genuinely cares for his patients and really goes above and beyond. He is very responsive via text and email. He’s funny as heck and a great, laid back guy. I actually look forward to my appointments and our chit chats :) I trust him and that's what counts. Highly recommend!!! You will not be disappointed I guarantee.

Dr. Rahul Patel is an amazing doctor. I went to Dr. Patel for a foot injury and I received excellent care during my surgery and after. He took his time to explain the diagnosis and treatment. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great bedside manners. He is professional, compassionate, friendly and most of all HONEST. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointments which is extremely important to me. He has two convenient locations. One in Manhattan and the other one in Queens. It's always a great experience at Dr. Patel's office. I HIGHLY recommend to Dr. Rahul Patel. You will not be disappointed.

I came to Dr. Patel’s office with piercing pain through my foot and ankle. I experienced plantar fasciitis years ago but this time it felt like something more as the pain was worse and I couldn’t really walk. Dr. Patel assessed the issue and helped me treat the pain with prescribed medicine, custom insoles, and stretches (I still do these stretches before long days of walking, sports, or dancing). He made me feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the whole process, plus he’s the coolest doctor out there. Totally recommend. Thanks so much, Dr. Patel!

Good Feetback! That wasn't a typo for feedback. It was intentional. His attention to detail and attentiveness to your concerns goes beyond the call of duty. He presents himself with openness to share information about what's on the forefront and curating solutions specifically for his patients. The experience felt very personal and it's this level of intimacy that we all deserve. Not only was Dr. Patel very professional and thoughtful but he comes with a great sense of humor. That always helped set a good tone for our sessions. Not only are you getting great service, you get laughter as a bonus! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Patel and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Patel is undoubtedly the best podiatrist you can ask for. He's an expert in his field, not to mention friendly and caring. My siblings and I have been seeing Dr. Patel for years now, after he treated our dad for his foot issues. We all have flat feet, and I didn't realize I had any foot problems until I saw Dr. Patel. Within minutes of examining my feet, he pointed out several issues that I didn't even realize were problematic. He had custom orthotics made for me and recommended me some sneakers that would help with support and stability. He also made me aware of multiple leg and muscle issues I had as result of my flat feet, and at my request, referred me to a great PT. I highly recommend Dr. Patel, especially for people with flat feet. The quality of care he provides is unparalleled!
