About

Ekta Patel, MD, attended medical school at Boston University School of Medicine in Massachusetts, and went on to complete her residency in family medicine at the University of California, Irvine. She chose a career in family medicine because of her desire to help people and her love of science. She enjoys treating patients with a holistic approach, instead of focusing on one specific aspect of their health, which she finds very special.

Dr. Patel values giving back to the community and helped create a teen mentorship program during her time as a medical resident. She would like her patients to know, that as their doctor, she will provide them with the tools and support to make a well-informed health decisions. She believes it is very important that her patients are comfortable working together for a beneficial healthcare relationship.

As a Family Physician, I am so grateful for the strong relationships I have built with my patients. With a strong interpersonal relationship with my patient, I can provide the empathy, guidance, and support so a patient can become a well-informed advocate for their own health.

Dr. Patel grew up in Orange County, California and is excited to take care of the community where she grew up. Outside of medicine, she enjoys spending time with her friends, family, going to the beach, visiting National Parks, and learning new cooking recipes.

Ekta is compassionate, empathetic, understanding, and competent. I have never left a session with her where I didn’t feel she genuinely cared about our situation.

Excellent ExperienceI’ve had an excellent experience with Dr. Patel. She is thorough and always takes the time to listen, understand my concerns, and discuss my health in detail. I never feel rushed during my appointments.What I appreciate most is how collaborative she is. She involves me in decisions about my care, clearly explains her recommendations, and genuinely seems invested in helping me improve and maintain my health. I feel like we are working together as a team, which is exactly what I want from a primary care physician.I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and caring doctor.
