Dr. Ritika Patel (Physiotherapist)

I recommend Dr. Ritika Patel for her treatment and approach.

When I first came across Atlas, I was looking for Chiropractic treatment for my leg injury and shoulder pain. However, when I read about Dr. Ritika Patel, a physiotherapist, I felt that she would be the right person to fix me up. I had terrible pain in my right knee that was radiating to hips and also a longstanding cervical spondylosis issue that got exacerbated with a recent shoulder injury. Right from the first session, she was extremely efficient at understanding the problem and contrary to my expectation that first session would just be consultation, she got right into the treatment immediately. Although the treatment itself involves dry needling, deep tissue massage which can be painful for someone who has not undergone something so intensive, I could feel a great relief after the initial few hours. It might be a little difficult to get appointment with her, as most of her slots get booked for days in advance, but I did not want to go anywhere else, I knew she was the right person for me after such a long time and it was worth the wait. Each session is focused and progressive, so each time, I would feel better and more confident. She is very kind, listens to problems and gets to the problem area within no time. She not just works on you, but also advises on the right diet, the correct exercise plan. My treatment was a combination of the initial pain alleviation and later on, rehab exercises to gain strength in my legs and shoulders. Before I came to her, I had almost given up on my neck thinking that I will have to live with the nagging pain for the rest of my life. But with regular strength training and practicing the exercises she has prescribed regularly, I feel that the pain has not returned. I am writing this review after completing the entire prescribed plan of about 15 physio sessions and I can truly make out the difference. Due to her insistence, I regularly started strength training and focused on my posture. She would ensure that I follow the right routine, helped me with the equipment and always ready to answer my questions. I can confidently say that today I am almost pain-free and I am working towards a better, fitter and more confident version of myself. In a way, she has not just fixed my problem, she has encouraged me to regularly workout to stay out of pain. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Ritika and would like to express my gratitude to her. Regarding Atlas, they are quite professional and able to fix appointments, however, it would be best to keep a good relation directly with the doctors as well.

I have given reviews before. She is a good doctor.

I highly recommend Dr. Ritika Patel—she’s fantastic at her job *** ******* ***** ** *** ****** She clearly explains conditions and recovery timelines, and is realistic about expectations. The clinic is clean, neat, and the staff are good. There’s no wait time for appointments and she is excellent at keeping time. I am fully satisfied and would recommend her to others.
