  Dr. Patel finds the most rewarding part of working in dermatology to be the problem-solving aspect.  She enjoys the balance of seeing patients, listening to their stories, and building robust differential diagnoses, with opportunities for in-office procedures that often provide patients with immediate relief.

Since diseases of the skin often carry significant emotional attachment, patients place a great deal of faith and trust in their dermatologists. Getting to care for patients and families in this way is a unique privilege.
