Dr. Patel grew up in the Orlando area and began her college education at the University of Central Florida where she studied her Bachelor of Science and finished her education at the University of TN College of Veterinary Medicine. The ability to care for and treat pet as though they are her very own is a great passion. She truly enjoys being able to help pet parents through the happy times and the rough times. Some of her favorite things are preventive health care, geriatric care, gastrointestinal diseases, client education, and the ability to individualize medical care to meet both the pets' and parents' needs.

On her own time, Dr. Patel likes to spend her time salsa dancing, working out, kayaking, going to concerts, and trying out new restaurants with friends and family.
