Biography
As a spine and scoliosis surgeon, I constantly seek to provide the most superior care to my patients. I do this by offering contemporary methods of surgical spine care in the most minimally invasive manner possible. Driven by my desire to help others, I have always been inspired by the opportunity to reach underserved populations, and have treated both children and adults with spinal issues in communities as far as Colombia, Ghana, and Germany. My goal is to always listen to my patients and use my experience and skills to help improve their pain, function and overall their quality of life.
Throughout my career, I have consistently prioritized the role of education, not only for myself but also for my patients. It was my training at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York that has instilled a powerful desire to help educate my patients. I recognized that a well-informed patient is better equipped to participate in the shared decision-making process. I strive to optimize every patient’s experience in terms of empathy and understanding—as well as delivering the best possible health outcomes.
School & Training
In my own learning, I continually push myself to read, to research, to listen to podcasts, and attend labs on spine surgery. This allows me to provide the most up to date medical care to my patient. I spent 3 years dedicated to spine research at NYUs Hospital for Joint Diseases prior to entering formal orthopedic training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. I completed my training with a fellowship in spine surgery at The Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, NY. I received amazing training along the way, nevertheless, I make sure to continue research in the field, staying up to date on the latest technology so I can always treat my patients with the most effective and minimally invasive methods available. I am a recipient of tens of thousands of dollars in research grants during my training which allowed me to continue my pursuit of higher knowledge. This culminated in dozens of peer-reviewed publications. This helps me continue to be a content expert in the field of spine surgery.
Experience
With over 15 years of experience in orthopedics and in spine surgery, I treat both adult and pediatric patients with neck, lower back, and spinal deformity issues. As a surgeon for Duly Health and Care (formerly DuPage Medical Group), I work at Edward, Elmhurst, and Hinsdale Hospitals, as well as Westmont Surgical Center. I communicate closely with my core team to provide outstanding care and a smooth experience for each and every patient.
Personal
I absolutely love my job, my family, and my hobbies. I seek out a healthy work-life balance to maintain a fresh outlook on life. I am an avid traveler, I love to explore new cultures through people and foods. Good food is one of life’s simplest pleasures, and it stimulates a deep passion I have for cooking. To maintain balance with food, I often seek out physical challenges also. I can often be found training for a marathon, preparing for a mountain climb, or hitting the slopes.
Practice Philosophy
In practice, Dr. Patel uses contemporary methods and minimally invasive techniques to achieve surgical outcomes superior to traditional open surgery. We most commonly perform fusion surgeries, and are extremely well versed in the latest surgical modalities.

I went to see Dr Patel for my lower back pain. Turns out I needed two disc replacements and it was bone on bone and I was in severe pain. Dr Patel was so kind and patient. After trying a couple of things for relief, I was scheduled for surgery. I had to have a disc replaced through my stomach area, one through my hip area and then screws and rods through my back. As extreme as this was, Dr Patel was by my side right after surgery, held my hand and reassured me everything went great and worked on managing my pain.

Dr Patel did back surgery for me 2 years ago. I was at a point were I didn’t want to do anything even play with my daughter outside with sports. Now I’m working out and running every day again. I love the fact that when my daughter asks to go shoot hoops with her now or practice softball. I say you bet with a smile on my face feels good to have a my life back again. Thank you!

I had been struggling with low back pain. I did all the injections. Still no relief. Dr Gashkoff referred me to Dr Patel. I had surgery on 4/5/22. It’s only two months from surgery. My back had not been pain free for at least 20 years. I am so amazed with the professionalism and skill at Dr. Patel‘s team has. Thank you so much.

Dr. Patel is what every physician should aspire to be: Analytical, caring, thorough and knowledgeable. He asks pertinent questions about symptoms and requests–then actually listens to the responses. When he first walked in his voice is very comforting and calm, he took time with me and listen to my concerns.

Knowledgeable, kind, confident, and observant, Dr. Patel was an absolute delight to work with. I had a micro-laminectomy, and Dr. Patel did a wonderful job. He answered all of my ridiculous questions and assuage all my fears. 10/10 (but obvi hope I never have to have surgery again).

My wife Jo Ann had spine jack surgery to repair a vertebrae compression fracture. The care from start to finish could not have gone more smoothly or have a better result. Thank you Dr. Patel, P.A. Rebecca, and the entire staff!

Dr. Patel takes the time with you and explains the procedure at length. I felt comfortable with him from the get go. I have had back pain for a really long time. I am 3 months post-op and loving my results. So glad I chose Dr. Patel and his team. His team is just as wonderful answering any questions you may have. Excellent service.

My back pain started 5+ years ago. It continued to get worse so I did physical therapy but it really did not help. When I saw Dr. Patel he was very kind. He explained exactly what was going on with my back and how he could fix it permanently. Literally the pain I had for all those years was gone after surgery. Of course there is the pain from surgery but that is temporary. It was the best decision ever. Dr. Patel and his staff are wonderful.

I had discomfort that started in my neck that radiated down my arm along with hand numbness. A mri detected that I had a herniated disc. Dr. Patel and I discussed all my options and decided that surgery was the way to go. Surgery was a success. I have no pain or numbness anymore. Dr Patel and the whole staff at the Spine Center were top notch.

Amazing and extremely caring doctor. From the start, I was treated with the utmost kindness and I could tell he was a doctor who truly cared. He helped me completely remove my chronic back pain of two years and now I am living pain free. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone who is suffering back pain, especially if you want truly exceptional care.

I had broken my spine in August 2019 and because of his excellent work and dedicated staff, I am all healed up and enjoying life again. He is very detailed in explaining what was happening with me and the routes we could take to fix it. He was open and didn’t hide anything from me…good or bad. I had cement placed in my spine as well as a spinal fusion. I recommend Dr. Patel because he demonstrates how a doctor should act to patients, with care and commitment. He never gave up on me and that helped me not give up on myself! Thank you again Dr. Patel! You work miracles!

Dr. Patel is awesome. I came to see him with pain in my arms and shoulders due to a spine injury. I elected to have surgery and it was the best decision of my life. After a year I have had no pain. Dr. Patel is very professional and easy to talk to about the injury. He does an excellent job of laying out the path on what I was going to expect with the surgery and the recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Patel! You’re the best!

Came to Dr. Patel in severe pain in my neck and down my arms, couldn’t feel my hands anymore. My MRI showed 2 ruptured discs in my cervical area. Surgery was smooth and I was able to feel my hands immediately after surgery. Dr. Patel is the best and his staff were wonderful with all my FMLA paperwork. Will always recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon!

Dr. Patel is awesome! Not only is he a specialist in his field, but he also has a fantastic personality! He made me feel at ease and even laugh! He took care of my herniated disc and un-pinched the nerve, I was back to work in two weeks. I am no longer in pain!! I am thankful to have such an amazing Doctor/Specialist/Surgeon!! The entire staff was friendly and helpful.
