Meet your physician

A board-certified internist caring for adults, with time for you at every visit.

Dr. Vrushank Patel, MD

Dr. Vrushank Patel, MD

Internal Medicine

Dr. Patel enjoys building lasting relationships with patients and helping them take an active role in their health. He values getting to know each patient as an individual and providing thoughtful, personalized care at every stage of life.

He practices whole-person medicine. Beyond treating the condition in front of him, he looks at how you are eating, sleeping, moving and coping, because total wellness and day-to-day function matter as much as any lab result.

His focus is prevention and long-term wellness: helping patients protect their health, independence and quality of life so they can feel their best and keep doing what matters to them.

Outside the office, Dr. Patel treasures time with his wife and son. He enjoys cooking for his family, relaxing on his patio and getting out in nature, and he brings that same appreciation for balance and well-being to the care he gives his patients.
