About
Dr. Pratik B. Patel, always had an interest in the underlying science behind how the body works. This coupled with experiences volunteering in health care settings locally and internationally, eventually led him to pick medicine as a career. His studies have taken him to the University of Virginia, Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and McGaw Medical Center, and he’s served as an Orthopedic Trauma Fellow in Pittsburg, PA.
As an orthopedic trauma surgeon, he treats pelvis and upper/lower extremity fractures. “I chose trauma specifically due to the variety of cases,” he said. “Usually when the bone breaks, there are associated injuries with nearby muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc., and my job is to repair all these components.”
Part of the process in helping patients regain function requires listening to them, Dr. Patel said. “The details of each patient’s story and circumstances are all important and can guide you toward the best treatment option. While Injuries can be similar, every patient is unique and requires individualized care.”
Being a skilled surgeon is only part of the job, as Dr. Patel sees it. He strives to be an advocate throughout the entire process. He treats patients as he would a family member, sharing the process of deciding on treatment or intervention. “Orthopedics is a team sport – the physician, patient, nurses, and therapists all work together towards a common goal,” he said. In the end, he hopes his patients will ask questions and ultimately be comfortable with their decision.
In his own words…

My parents. They taught me the importance of diligence, humility and taking pride in your work. Their unending support and sacrifice is why I’m a physician today.

I worked as a karyotyping tech at a diagnostics lab during high school summer breaks
What is your favorite food? Movie? What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up?
Food - Sushi
Movie – “The Usual Suspects”
Best subject - Math, worst - Latin
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests?
Staying active (anything that keeps me moving – running, biking, swimming, basketball, golf), traveling abroad, trying new restaurants and cuisines.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I volunteered as an EMT during college.
