Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a fascinating field because of the variety of conditions that can be treated including esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colon, pancreatic, and liver disease. In addition, as a gastroenterologist I have the ability to provide colon cancer screening and prevention at the same time by performing colonoscopies. It’s really a great career!
Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?
Colon cancer prevention/screening are of particular interest. I have additional training, certification, experience, and interest in advanced liver disease, but enjoy all aspects of gastroenterology.
What do you and your family enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. I love the outdoors including hiking, grilling, and gardening. I enjoy rooting for my home town sports teams and hanging out with friends.

Reviews
Dr Patel is caring and approachable. I was head and understood. He is truly patient-oriented. I highly recommend Dr Patel. His staff lives up to his standards.
I was referred to Dr Patel when my previous GI doctor was booked three months out.
I was able to see Dr Patel reasonably soon and that has been so in the six months he has been caring for me. He is very pleasant and an easy communicator. He listens, responds very satisfactorily, and is never rushed. Fortunately there haven't been any critical issues. I feel very comfortable and confident in his care
