Dr. Kavita D. Patel

I am a board-certified physician in Family Medicine. My areas of particular interest are Metabolic Health, Lifestyle Medicine, Digestive and Microbiome Health, Nutritional Medicine, Immunological Health, and Women’s Health. 

The most important thing to know about me is that I care. I care about you. I want to hear your story. I want to understand where you are coming from, what motivates you, what energizes you, and also, what doesn’t work for you when trying to achieve health and well-being. By hearing you, the real you, I can partner with you, and together we will achieve your optimal health.

I bring a high degree of knowledge and clinical experience to your care and I bring this with compassion to support you in your health journey. Between my allopathic medical education and my integrative/functional medicine training, I am able to integrate biomedical Western medicine with its excellence in research and technology, to the whole-person approach that is at the core of integrative and functional medicine. Additionally, I have completed extensive training in Physician Medical Acupuncture, and I am able to offer you the incredible power of this centuries-old healing practice.

I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey and am honored to support you in achieving your best health.

Testimonials

  • I feel the best I have felt in all my life!

    Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Dr. Patel.  I was suffering for years.  Dr. Patel helped me modify my eating and sleeping habits.  Not only did I lose weight, but I was able to wean off several medications!  I now only take a multivitamin and a few natural supplements. I feel the best I have felt in all my life, all thanks to Dr. Patel!

  • She never gave up on me

    I felt hopeless until I was treated by Dr. Patel.  She was the first doctor I’ve ever had who really listened to me and did not just write me off.  With Dr. Patel’s constant encouragement and trying out different treatments, my health gradually improved.  Dr. Patel is truly special.  She never gave up on me.
