“Excellent chairside manner, explained everything thoroughly, offered realistic expectations and plans for next steps to reduce my anxiety about management. I even got a hearing test while on site and was seen again by Dr Patel afterward for furthrr review. Hoping for a positive result for my new/acute tinnitus.”

About Dr. Neel B Patel
As an Otolaryngologist, my approach to caring for a patient's ear, nose, and throat problems involves incorporating the patient as a whole into his or her care plan. I believe that all factors in patients' lives, such as social, emotional, and physical aspects, affect their health. By integrating these, not only am I able to provide my best care, but it also allows my patients to participate in their care, which I feel is extremely important in providing optimal outcomes. I earned my Bachelor's degree followed by my Doctor of Medicine from the University of Illinois, Chicago. I completed my Residency in Otolaryngology at the University of Illinois Medical Center, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care.
