Sangini Patel, MS, PAC

She gets it 100%, no matter what you’re telling her. She lIstens and makes the kind of eye-​contact that tells you she really is processing your words while coming up with the best solution unique to me, the individual patient. She doesn’t rush me out and let’s me ask questions without the feeling like I’m keeping her, which is a reprieve as I always leave (other) doctor appointments feeling like I blacked out during the next steps portion of the visit because they were so rushed. I wish she could be my Physician too!
Last but certainly not least, I’ve never met a front staff more incredible than she and Dr. Karaban’s. (SHOUT OUT TO MARIA AND EXTENIA (sp) !!) They’re like sisters just trying to help out in anyway they can exhibiting class, organization, patience, and empathy.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sangini Patel and her staff.

I am not surprised one bit that Sangini has a 5 star rating on Unilocal.She is the best of the best. I have been going to her for cosmetic procedures for a couple years and every time she leaves me feeling better than the time before.
She has awesome bedside manner, is so friendly and caring and all around a joy to be around. I look forward to my next appointment with her, even though it’s months away! I know many derms/​Pas in the Chicago area and she is at the very top of the list, in every category! You won’t be disappointed if you go see her!

She is great! I have been going to Dermatologists for years and this was for for a skin scan, and she saw a problem immediately and helped me through a trying time. I am thankful that I went to her and that she was so knowledgeable.
I trust her and will continue to go to her in the future, along with recommend her to all!

I recently visited Dr. Patel for a mole check-​up and to get a prescription filled. I had been going to Mark Berk and was highly dissatisfied with my care from him. I would wait for hours in his office and when he finally did see me, he seemed bored and disinterested, never apologized for the wait (nor did his staff) and when he asked me questions about the excema I was having, I would answer him and then he would ask me the same question again, as if I hadn’t spoken, he didn’t seem to be really listening to me. Sangini, on the other hand, was incredibly kind, attentive, friendly and professional. I felt as if she was listening to me and was genuinly concerned. Personally, I want a doctor to not only have the professional knowledge to care for me, I also want a doctor who is compassionate. In addition, and I know this might sound silly: she smiled a lot and had a wonderful positive energy. I think she is extraordinarily professional and she made me feel comfortable and CARED FOR, whereas Dr. Berk just behaved as if I was a specimen. I think that doctors often have the same skill levels and knowledge, but, nowadays, people want to know that they are valued and listened too, especially when health care is so expensive. I am a self-​employed musician and I can only afford a health care policy with a high deductable — I pay most of my health care out-​of-​pocket, including all my prescriptions. I really want my docs to pay attention to me and treat me with respect, which is exactly what Dr. Patel did. She also took the time to make sure I had some samples of my very expensive prescription and was just an overall delight. Her staff were extraordinarily kind, professional and caring as well.

I firt saw Sangini after I waited over an hour for an appointment with Dr. Karaban (on my lunch hour) and was so angry about the wait that I complained to the receptionist. She informed me that I didn’t need to see a Dr., I could just see their PA and Sangini took me in immediately. Wish I’d known that earlier. Anyway, Sangini is great. She’s very professional, very patient and explains everything. She has given me lots of information regarding my rosacea, and has given me laser treatments for it. Of course, it’s excrutiatingly painful, but again, she’s very kind and patient. It’s expensive, but I admit I haven’t done any cost-​comparison, that’s just too much work and I already know I like Sangini.

Dr. Sangini Patel came in. She was very nice, friend and pretty. She was comfortable to talk to and told me the truth about what she thought. She accessed what was wrong with my skin. She gave me multiple prescriptions along with lots of samples to help out with the cost. The appointment can vary from patient to patient but mine was 90 dollars and I felt it was fair. She has a wealth of information and I’ve been able to call back with questions or concerns and speak with her directly.

Sangini Patel MS, PA-​C is a board-​cerrtified Physician Assistant to Dr. Jeffrey Karraban at the Lincoln Park Dermatology and Laser Center specializing in laser hair removal.
She is extremely professional, has excellent beside manner, relates well to patients, has great hands, can effectively work a laser, & is overflowing with knowlgede in the field. The results are astonising, and like every technician honing their skills to perfect their craft, she goes out of her way to stay up to date on the latests trends and technology to offer superior results and service to all of her customers.
You will initially go in for a consult first where you’ll receive a competitve quote on laser-​hair removal and get an idea of a schedule that is flexible with your lifestyle and profession. I have been extremely impressed with the results, and if anyone is considering laser hair removal and wants to look at two to three options before deciding where to go, this place has to be on your list.
I know, I know, last person you’d expect to be reviewing Sangini is me, but I go for neck (shaving there is a nightmare for brothas) so guys, don’t be afraid to give it a shot. She also does guys for other areas and reasons, but that’s a little more information than I personally need to know and I can’t possibly speak to in any capacity. She makes the procedures as pain free as possible, and is amongst the most detailed technicians in the business.
If you go here, I promise you that you won’t look elsewhere. The staff is super friendly and it’s in a convenient Lincoln park location, close to CTA with evening hours available. To those of you looking, get in here when deciding where to treat yourselfm a check, you won’t be sorry. Summer just started, plenty of time to get in the game. Let me know how it goes!
