About Akshay Patel, MD
Philosophy of Care
I always strive to provide compassionate and equitable care for every person I encounter, beginning with simply listening to their story and background. Being a doctor isn't just ordering tests and performing procedures, but also listening to your patients and ensuring they understand what's going on with their body. I firmly believe everyone is the leader of their own healthcare, and that starts with understanding what's happening to them and why they feel the way they do.
