Palak N Patel, PA

Had a pleasant experience. Very satisfied with the care I received. Thank you.

The provider I spoke with was a physician assistant. Whether it's a choice by Hackensack Meridian or Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield to send team members to the weight loss, it should be better organized. This provider did not discuss my labs I was told to obtain. My blood pressure, my weight was not obtained. The provider was making food recommendations for me however, she is not a registered dietitian. She told me to consume beef jerky as a snack however, beef jerky is high in sodium and I have high blood pressure. She told me consume 3 boiled eggs in the morning, however, I have high cholesterol. The point I am making is, if Hackensack Meridian is now sending team members to the weight loss center, have a registered dietitian available, make appointments at a location near the team members home in order to obtain an initial weight, vital signs, the provider should know the team members labs results and discuss them appropriately. This experience was terrible to be honest. I'd rather see a nurse practitioner who specializesin weight loss. The physician assistant did not care about me or my medical history. She was not good.

She is so kind, informative and understanding. She listened and provided great feedback and alternative. Highly recommend her.

My appointment was great as well as my doctor. She explained everything to me and send in my prescription right after we got off the phone. Thank you The Best.

Great!
