Philosophy
Dr. Patel approaches medicine by trying to understand what is not functioning optimally in the body while taking into account the whole person, including mind, body, and lifestyle.
She attributes her inspiration for Integrative Medicine to her native roots of India and her family who exposed her early on to natural forms of healing. Being the daughter of a prominent vascular surgeon, she was able to see first hand the benefits of modern medicine as well as have an appreciation for more non-traditional methods of healing.
Dr. Patel has a genuine passion for using aspects of daily life to promote natural healing, such as movement, mindset, nutrition, and breath work. She has a particular passion for connecting dots for individuals who struggle to feel well and who desire to achieve optimal wellness. She has a true passion for a food-as-medicine approach to health and healing.
'My life is my message'

Earth Program
Part of the program when working with Dr. Patel, involves giving back to Mother Earth at least once a month. This can be in a way that is self inspired. This Earth Program is her passion, as Dr. Patel feels the health of individuals is a reflection of the state of wellbeing of the Earth. As individuals restore harmony in living with the Earth, she feels long lasting shifts in wellbeing are possible for both humans and the earth.
What is Telemedicine?
