Overview
I first became interested in pursuing a career in medicine after being a camp counselor for children with autoimmune type I diabetes when I was in college. I wanted to learn more about and care for patients who had autoimmune diseases and immune dysregulation, which is what led to my dual training in both rheumatology and allergy immunology. My clinical practice, where I teach medical students, residents and rheumatology and allergy/immunology fellows, reflects this comprehensive immunologic approach. Diseases in which I have particular expertise include rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, autoimmune inflammatory eye disease and common variable immune deficiency (CVID). I have several family members who also have autoimmune diseases and I have learned that care can be long term and involve a team approach. As a result, patient-centered care has become a personal goal.

Seeing a new physician is an act of trust, and I hope to earn that trust by listening to you and understanding how your health issues affect your life and goals.

Kernodle Clinic West - Rheumatology And Osteoporosis
I love the practice of rheumatology and what it has to offer. It is a unique field that allows me to incorporate my pharmacy background when treating patients with autoimmune disorders. My philosophy in treating the patient is to listen to their story. I find that every patient has a unique story. What I love about rheumatology is the patient provider relationship that you build over time. This is very special to me. I have been practicing rheumatology since 2013. My family and I have been in Greensboro, North Carolina since the 1990s. Dr. Patel is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Polyarteritis Nodosa.
