“Dr. Pat has been a savior to me and my family for over 20 years.  I had a laundry list of symptoms.  Another doctor would have just written a prescription, not Dr. Pat.  He was the first doctor that I have ever met who was humble enough not to think he knew everything.  Once he even made a list, left for a few minutes, returned with a huge medical book, sat with me and read.  He never jumps to conclusions.  Thanks to Dr. Pat, I have seen the success of my family and my life span is now more than double of my mother’s who died of complications of Lupus”.  By:  K.

P.

P.

“I honestly feel that if not for full care and compassion of Dr. Pat, I would not be writing this testimonial.  As an example of Dr. Pat going above and beyond the call of duty, when I was going to go through the chemotherapy, Dr. Pat wrote a prescription for a medication to ease the nausea of the chemo.  The 7 pills were $70.00 each.  As I am on a very limited income, I could not afford that but Dr. Pat said not to worry and that he would provide them at no cost and he did!”  By:  J.

“Dr. Patwardhan has been very dedicated in trying to help me.  The first doctor I went to dropped me because the insurance company was not paying enough and had too much write off.  The second doctor panicked when the results of my bone scan came back and didn’t know what he should do.  I than heard of Dr. Patwardhan and have been with him for last two years.  He is so attentive, understanding and never gives up in trying to find a way to help me.  I owe my life to him and can’t imagine ever finding another doctor that has his patients’ needs and well being so imbedded in his life”.  By:  D. B.
