About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy includes personalized care to provide you the best treatment, as well as the most economical and convenient care to help improve your life. I am honest with prognosis and treatment outcomes and believe that informed patients and families can determine which medical interventions they want to pursue. I believe in local medicine and that a healthy community is a thriving community.
Why I entered medicine
I trained as a biomedical engineer, but really wanted to help people directly. I have an interest in health care economics and public health, and those principles helped me realize I needed to be on the frontlines, talking to patients and helping my community.
Community involvement
I have volunteered at local free clinics.
Personal interests
I split my spare time among raising my family, health care economics, football and basketball.

Comments
"I MET GREAT AND KIND DR!"
"This was my first visit. It was difficult to get an appointment. Dr. Patel was very knowledgeable, and listened to my concerns. He explained details of the illness that I was not aware of."
"My only problem was I first started seeing the Doctor in East Stroudsburg and now he no longer has hours there. I kept this appointment but I am thinking about future appointments and the drive."
