I went to see Dr. Patel on 8/22/2017 for an irregular heartbeat and slight swelling of feet and ankles, which concerned me. At that time I was on AZOR for high blood pressure which regulated it perfectly for a number of years.
I will never go back there and can't recommend Dr Patel to anyone!!
Dr. Patel then ordered blood work to be done at a lab as well as stress test to be performed at his practice.
I could have had a stroke or worst died.
If this is not negligence then I don't know what is. This Dr. Patel should not be allows to practice and put he's patients at risk.
The pharmacist went over the medication with me since this was a new one for me. When I saw the bottle it had both medication on the label. Azor as well the new one Triamterene - HCTZ 35.5-25mg.

On 10/5/17 I was admitted to the ER at the Yavapai Hospital with Significant Threat To Live Or Function According To The Doctors Report . My Potassium level at that time was 2.1 which is dangerously low.
very low Potassium level 2.9 to be exact. I was never told that. I should never have been given anything with a diuretics which would lower the Potassium even more.
I was told that he does not want me to take Azor and would send something else to the pharmacy. I picked that up on 9/28/17. It was Losartan combination with diuretics.
A month later I called his office to let them know that this medication does not agree with me and asked if I can't go back on Azor since I never had any side affects with that.
All this time I was unaware of the fact that the blood test performed in August showed a
