Vikash Patel, MD
Houston
Doctor of Medicine, a common medical school degree for physicians. MDs at One Medical typically specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics or pediatrics.
My experiences thus far have taught me that the best approach to an individual's health is achieved by understanding the patient. Taking the time to know their strengths, limitations, goals, and level of commitment provides the groundwork on which to build a joint coalition to guide a patient through their healthcare journey. I also hope to cultivate an environment where patients can comfortably voice their queries and differing opinions without reluctance, which empowers them to be the primary drivers of their health plan. My experiences thus far have afforded me the knowledge to manage a wide spectrum of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, etc.), but my preference is to focus on prevention of such conditions.
My favorite ways to stay happy and healthy are rowing, weight lifting, sports, and spending time with family, which is where I draw most of my strength.
