Originally from East Africa, Dr. Patel spent his early years in Uganda, where he competed in international cricket.

Dr. Patel completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the Michigan State University Statewide Campus System program in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where he served as Chief Resident.

Today, he integrates these advances with individualized treatment plans to deliver the highest quality care.

While Dr. Patel treats a broad range of orthopedic conditions—including sports injuries, fractures, and joint disorders—his clinical passion is complex primary and revision shoulder, hip and knee replacement surgery, as well as the management of periprosthetic fractures and prosthetic joint infections.
