General Info

Dr. Patel was born into a medical family and felt not only destined to be a physician, but a pediatrician. To me, there is no greater joy than connecting with children and their families and watching them grow up. As a graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic medicine, I learned how to view the big picture to care for people and how to integrate this with my medical knowledge to come up with the best answer for each patient. I have been practicing pediatric medicine since 2007 and was lucky enough to practice alongside my father and mentor for 15 years at Shelby Pediatric Associates. And now I am excited to venture off on my own.
