A competent obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Patel serves the community of Tampa at Florida Medical Clinic. He is committed to a higher level of medicine, which is individualized for each of his patients. He specializes in women’s health, preventive care, laparoscopic/minimally invasive surgeries, and future education opportunities for newborns.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts).

Among his most notable achievements, Dr. Patel has been the recipient of the Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014), Patients’ Choice Award (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015), On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015), Patients’ Choice 5th Anniversary Award (2020), and Compassionate Doctor Award – 5 Year Honoree (2020).
