After graduating from Canfield High School, Dr. Patel completed her undergraduate studies at Emory University in Atlanta and then went on to graduate from the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago. She then completed her Ob/Gyn residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. These outstanding credentials and exceptional training, along with her kind and compassionate care, have allowed her to build a thriving practice in Canfield over the past three years.

Starting in December, she will be seeing patients for CWHP at both our Salem and Canfield locations.
