Advance Family Practice

I’ve lived with MS for over a decade. Under Dr. Varesh Patel’s guidance, the symptoms of MS been significantly reduced. He helped me find the right type and dosage of medical cannabis. Before being treated by Dr. Patel, I would get up multiple times during the night due to muscle spasms and cramps. I also experienced fatigue and lack of focus. Since being treated by Dr. Patel, my quality of life has improved.

Complimentary Letter -- Patient Services:
After nearly three decades of “Dr. Patel’s father and son doctoring,” Connie and I can say that they are simply the best! “They” includes everyone at their office – Lindsay, the recently hired Physician Assistant, Office Manager Maxine (a heart of gold!), Medical Assistants Ralph and Christy (is there anything they can’t do?), Cisco, the Phlebotomist (“a good stick” every time) and Tanita, the Referral Coordinator (she gets it right every time). We are part of their family and they ours.
They have always taken on our medical challenges with the utmost professionalism, patience, persistence, compassion and encouragement. We couldn’t ask for anything more.
We know our futures are as bright as they can possibly be with Advance Family Practice!!

I was referred to Dr. V and Advance Family Practice by a coworker and started going this year. Both Dr. V, PA Lindsay, and assistant Courtney have been amazing in helping me with my medical issues. The office is always very busy so make sure you make an appointment, but know the reason they are busy is because they are a great facility and have retained a very large patient base. The front desk team is always polite and patient, even when there is a full waiting room, and as long as you arrive on time for your appointment, the wait is never long (I have a problem with this as I am usually running late and they still get me in to see the doctor with very little wait). Overall, I am happy that I found a doctor's office that I feel comfortable going to. Every member of the staff is respectful and friendly, and for someone that has typically dreaded going to the doctor, in the past, I never feel judged or uncomfortable speaking about any medical concerns I have.

I have been going here for almost two years. They helped me get off pain killers. When it came to my psych medication I had my Psychiatrist send in a report of the medications that I take for my diagnoses, and then was able to transfer them over, so I no longer had to see two doctors for prescriptions. I was depressed and had been on an MAORI and only seemed to make things worse. They recommend I try and SRI and have not ever been as happy as one should. At any good practice they take your blood, but they take time to do it in house and send it out. (No Diagnostic Health facilities where people are chronically sick and usually bad cleanliness. That shows Mr fish oil does not know the ins and outs.) They are by the book and require an MRI or some proof that you need to be on any narcotics for pain. The blood test showed me exactly what I was deficient in and what foods would provide me to work as a complete human being.

This is a great father and son team. I have seen both and they are both great. I couldn't make an appointment so I went in as a walk-in with a terrible cough and I had to bring both of my babies. One is only 3 months and the other 21 months and they had me in and out in about 20 minutes even though there was only one doctor there!!! The whole staff is very nice and very helpful. I've NEVER been dissapointed with them!

Finally in Orlando by word of mouth I discovered finally a reliable set of Doctors (Father and Son) who listen to the patients individually with every concern they might have with no pressure and work with them to make them better. It's also a very cheery atmosphere. Really if you are looking for someone who actually cares about the patients needs, they are one of the few!

They really care about their patients, I have been going to them for years and though the wait might be a little while, it's well worth it!
