While enjoying life as a Tar Heel, his passion for dentistry was ignited after a trip to Tennessee to shadow his Aunt, an accomplished dentist in the town of Tazewell. The seamless integration of art and science left a lasting impression on Dr. Patel and ultimately inspired him to pursue the engaging, hands-on profession of dentistry.

Upon completion of his dental education in Baltimore, he then moved to New York for residency, which is also where he met and fell in love with his wife! Dr. Patel is excited to be back in the Carolinas doing what he loves most at Falls Pointe Dentistry in North Raleigh, and every now and then, you’ll also find him trekking, skiing, snowboarding or watching UNC basketball!
