Reviews for DHAT Rowlett - Lakeview Pkwy
"I had an appointment with Natalie Owen, and I am very satisfied with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of comfort, starting with the front desk greeting. The Medical assistant, Savannah, was lovely and calm while taking my blood pressure and history. PA Natalie Owen is different from many of the practitioners I have seen over the years, especially at the V.A. Medical Center. Her attitude and manner was genuine, kind, and caring. When we discussed my plan of care, she carefully took the time to make sure I understood/comprehended what she was saying to me. Finding a doctor / PA who is caring, sensitive, and passionate about what they do is challenging. I’m so grateful. Thank You."

"I LOVE Dr. Arslanlar and Jacquelyn Lane PA-C! I have used Dr. Arslanlar for more than 10 years. I have recently had the pleasure of working with Jacquelyn Lane, PA-C. They are both fantastic and listen intently to your concerns. I have very complex issues and they have kept me healthy. I don’t think you would be disappointed using them. Be aware though, it does take some time to get an appointment because they are that good. It will be worth your wait. I highly recommend them!"
"Overall, I had a very good experience. The staff at the surgery center was amazing and Dr. Paradiso was very nice. My only negative comment is that the doctor did not come to see me after the procedure, so a few questions I had did not get answered."

I had to see the PA instead of my doctor but when they let my doctor know, my husband passed away Dr. Pattell came in to give me a hug and find out what it happened. I appreciate everybody being so understanding. the only downside is my appointment was at 2:30 and it was almost 330 before I was seen."

"Jackie, the PA was wonderful- she was caring, personable and took the time to understand my symptoms, took a very thorough history and was very collaborative with a sensible care plan to address my needs. I am a healthcare professional myself, and really respect and appreciated her expertise but even more-so the amount of time she took to listen as well as explain things. One of the most thorough medical visits I’ve had in quite some time."
"I saw Dr. Harris at the recommendation of a friend. She listened to my concerns, actually suggesting a diagnosis that I had suspected. She did not diagnosis it, as it was not her speciality, but, she encouraged me to keep seeking answers to my years long health journey. I will certainly keep her as my gastroenterologist because I know she will work with my primary doctor and me to get to the root of my digestive issues. I would recommend her to anyone needing a good, patient, compassionate and knowledgeable gastroenterologist."

"Dr Harris is the BEST! The most thorough GI doc I’ve been to (after 7 others) for a problem no one can figure out. She was the first to really spend time and LISTEN to me and refer me to other therapies that might be able to help. She doesn’t give up, say I can’t help you, and pass you on to the next GI doc, which is all I’ve experienced before. Easy to talk to, professional yet friendly. Highly recommend!"

"This was my second visit with Dr. Patel. I have Diverticulosis and was having a bad attack of diverticulitis. I was treated in my local hospital’s ER & kept there to get a CT and a strong antibiotic via IV. I saw Dr. Patel for my follow up. He explained why this attack was different from the last one, 14 years ago. I was not taking care of myself-eating poorly, not exercising, not enough fiber in my diet, etc. All added up to classic reasons when combined lead to diverticulitis. He recommended the changes I needed to make to get better and stay healthy. He was very patient and knowledgeable. That being said, I hope I don’t have to see him before my next colonoscopy in a few years… ;-)"
"Love this place."
"I was referred to Dr. Patel by my PCP, who raved about him. I see why, now! Very thorough going over my medical history and discussing any current issues. And, on top of that, he was very personable and had a great sense of humor! Staff was very nice and competent, as well. Highly recommend!"

He listens to me and really takes the time to hear my concerns and offer the best options and information available. He makes sure to keep my other doctors at other clinics informed with my latest visits. He is an amazing doctor and really cares for his patients! His staff is also amazing including his nurse Claudia. Anytime there is an issue and I call, she is sure to get back to me with an answer. Exceptional treatment! 120% recommend!"
"The staff was so very friendly! I arrived at the office early and they got me in!!! Dr. Arslanar is very easy to talk to, very positive, and gave me clear information about my problem! It's so nice to have a doctor that will talk TO you... not down to you!! Dr. Arslanlar has given me hope!!!"

He answered every question I had, and was there for me the whole time. You don’t have to take my word for it, give them a call and let them set you up an appointment.

"I saw Dr. Harris as my sixth gastroenterologist after six years of disabling GI symptoms with no definitive diagnosis despite extensive testing (read: nightmare patient). She took the time to thoroughly review my history, discuss possible further diagnostic/therapeutic options, and refer me for diagnostic laparoscopy. I have nothing but praise for clinical care which was well worth the hassle of the office phone system that leaves you on hold for ten minutes, then disconnects you. Perhaps the practice is screening for highly motivated patients?"
"Dr. Patel has been my physician for well over 10 years. His bedside manner is exceptional and he is extremely knowledgeable in his field. Dr. Patel has always provided answers for any questions or concerns. He is one of the best!"
"Dr. Patel shows genuine concern for you as a patient. He takes time to explain all options and what to expect from testing/results. I appreciated his style and the professionalism of his nurse and office staff."
