I appreciate the specialized care Dr. Panchal provides me. She has explained the reason for drawing blood for certain testing and explained how the medication works and why it’s prescribed to me. It’s reassuring knowing she is keeping an eye on my kidney function and my diabetes to know exactly how to treat it and help me get it in better control.

Mar 26, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
She is so nice and thurough. Where my primary lacked, she excelled and actually helped me. My primary kept messing with my medication dosing without listening to why my bloodwork was the way it was. Dr P, knew exactly what to do and didn't need to change my dose. That always worried me but not with her.

Mar 3, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?

Very good
Feb 21, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Not having an opportunity for an in-person meeting is definitely challenging and might mean that the doctor would have to try a little harder to establish a connection with the patient. That is not the case here. I understand that it's difficult to recruit an endocrinologist to this area, so I appreciate being able to discuss my health with her even if it is long distance.
Feb 20, 2026

Dr. Panchal is compassionate and respectful. We're very pleased with the relationship we have with her.

GREAT
Feb 18, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I like the virtual appointment because it is more convenient, but feel like we rush through. Also instead of hearing me, Dr just keeps upping med levels. I think I need more time to adjust before we increase everything.
Feb 8, 2026

I would definitely recommend all my doctors and specialists with mid health; My experience with the provider was great and that everything was figured out for the most part, highly thankful for the help and support
