Philosophy of care | My goal as a cardiologist is to educate my patients about heart disease and prevention to improve their overall health and well-being. I will do my best to explain cardiac procedures and show empathy toward patient care. | Why I entered medicine | In college, I enjoyed health sciences such as anatomy and physiology. As a child, I loved to play video games and sports. Interventional cardiology requires precise hand-eye coordination, a skill I learned from my childhood hobbies. | Community involvement | I am involved with CORE (Community Organized Resuscitation Education) and the goal is to train others in our community about CPR to help save lives. | Personal interests | When I am not in the hospital, you can find me exercising, reading up on cars, or watching sports. I enjoy traveling and hiking with my wife and our family. Dr. Patel is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Bicuspid Aortic Valve. His top areas of expertise are Aortic Valve Stenosis, Heart Attack, Cardiac Arrest, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), and Aortic Valve Replacement.
