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.

Excellent ServiceDr. Patel is truly one of the best primary care doctors I have ever had. She is compassionate, attentive, and takes the time to genuinely listen to every concern without making you feel rushed. Her professionalism and knowledge immediately give you confidence that you are receiving excellent care, and she always explains things clearly and thoroughly.What stands out most is how much she truly cares about her patients as people, not just appointments on a schedule. She is patient, kind, and proactive when it comes to finding the best solutions and treatment plans. Her office staff is also friendly and organized, which makes every visit smooth and comfortable.I am incredibly grateful to have a doctor like Dr. Patel overseeing my healthcare. It is rare to find someone who combines medical expertise with such warmth and compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone looking for a primary care physician who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to their patients’ we
