About Dr. Ronak Patel

I've been working for Dr. Patel for several months now—ever since my daughter talked me into trying a functional health practitioner. I have been absolutely delighted by the results I've achieved with Dr. Patel's guidance on everything from supplements to nutrition and exercise. The great thing about functional health is that, through regular testing, you can track your improvements on various markers; and my improvements have been incredibly encouraging. I'm a big fan of Dr. Patel and his thoughtful approach to optimizing health rather than waiting to treat disease downstream. My whole family works with him now; and I've recommended Dr. Patel to extended family members as well. Very, very highly recommended!

I worked with Dr. Patel for the past 8 months to help with gut issues, mood, low energy. The practice was amazing because I came in with some what 'vague' symptoms which a traditional doctors have never taken seriously or helped with. Also doctors have told me before there's nothing to be done about sub-optimal health in some areas, or just to wait and see what happens which is frustrating. The holistic approach was extremely helpful because I was able to understand how my symptoms were connected and how they can be addressed holisticly by getting to root causes. Dr. Patel takes the time to walk you through everything and make a personalized plan for your health, he is very kind and a good listener which is a relief after seeing doctors who don't seem to really care about your symptoms. Always time to ask questions in the zoom calls. I saw results over time and while it takes patience to follow the treatments and the testing at times it is highly worth it in the long term. Highly recommend.

I started working with Dr. Patel due to my GI issues that I had been trying to solve on my own, however nothing worked. Since working with Dr.Patel for almost a year now, he was able to pinpoint my GI issues, discovering that I had SIBO, which we were able to effectively treat with supplements. He helped me work on numerous areas, from GI to hormone health and immunity, taking the time to go in depth and explain everything from my lab results. He is extremely knowledgable, patient, a good listener, and is overall a delight to work with, even taking the time to answer and explain any additional questions I may have. I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling with difficult health issues. I'm a completely different person health-wise thanks to him, its life-changing! Thank you Dr.Patel!

Dr. Patel is amazing! He is kind, caring, helpful, and goes above and beyond for his patients. He has literally changed my life with the recommendations and protocols he has given me. He has put me on a better path in life and I am eternally grateful for him and everything he has done to help me. I highly suggest seeing Dr. Patel!

Dr. Patel is a breath of fresh air. I have been suffering with many chronic health concerns and after 12 years of issues, this is the best I've felt. He is patient, compassionate and knowledgeable. Although we still have more work to do, I would recommend Dr. Patel to any of my family/friends in a heartbeat! As a nurse, I learn a lot from him and love getting tidbits of education throughout our appointments. If you're thinking about it, just do it

I've worked with Dr. Patel for the last 5 months to address issues with my gut and GI track (primarily h. pylori) that have plagued me for more than a year. Before seeing him, I'd seen two gastroenterologists, a round of antibiotics and tried many internet fixes. Working with Dr. Patel was what finally gave me lasting relief. He is a great listener, thorough explained my issues, and set me on a comprehensive path for recovery. I still have work to do, but have the knowledge, tools, and a much better baseline now. Thank you!

Working with Dr. Patel has had such a positive impact on my well-being. Dr. Patel takes the time to listen and understand what's going on, and genuinely wants to figure out the best path forward.

Working with Dr.Patel has been amazing. I struggled to find a doctor who didn’t see me as a number rather than a human until I found him. Right from the start of my journey I could tell that he genuinely cared about my progress, had compassion and empathy towards the many issues I came to him with and has been very invested ever since I joined as a client. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor, thank you Dr.P!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Patel. He is remarkably communicative, transparent, and thorough. I had dealt with severe dysbiosis, and a variety of related fatigue and gastro issues. Previously, I had seen two GI's, and two highly regarded functional doctors in NY. None were able to resolve my issues. I was exhausted and basically at the point of giving up. I found Dr Patel doing some google research. He set reasonable healing expectations and exceeded each / every one. He is timely with appointments, and he is incredibly smart. He takes time to listen and discuss, and is thoughtful in developing a plan of action. Truly feel like I have regained my happiness and my health, thanks to Dr Patel.

Dr. Ronak Patel is extremely knowledgeable on all things GI and gut related issues. I came to Ronak after years of dealing with IBS related symptoms and discomfort after eating certain foods. Ronak helped get to the root cause of my digestive problems which turned out to be Leaky Gut and SIBO. He uses very personalized tests to figure out exactly what’s going on and and has definitely put me on the right path to a healthier gut. My journey is not over but my gut health has improved significantly under the guidance of Dr. Patel.

Dr. Patel is THE BEST and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I've benefited greatly from having him as a resource in treating my SIBO and will continue to work with him in the future!

I have been seeing Dr. Patel now since October. I was struggling with many gut issues, extreme fatigue and etc, etc. I was very much unimpressed with my GI’s response to the worsening of my symptoms. Beyond my required colonoscopy I get every 3 yrs she is pretty useless. I wanted to go the functional medicine route because I have seen so many people I know Band-Aid symptoms instead of discovering the root cause that is creating the symptom. I didn’t want to continue the cycle, I wanted to irradiate it. Before seeing Dr. Patel I would blindly take supplements based only on what I thought I needed but I would not achieve the desired result. Since I have started treatment with Dr. Patel my health has done a complete 180. He ordered a few diagnostic tests and a lab. Then he gave me a treatment protocol that we adjust based on the progress/new results etc. His temperament is very approachable and easy to talk to. He really aims to educate on what you’re dealing with so you are very much in the loop on why he recommends certain things and how they work. I just bought a book he recommended. He also suggested to me when he was covering the labs that I record so I can reference later because he covers so much it could be confusing when thinking back on the conversation later. Dr. Patel is also always prepared for our visits, he doesn’t need to be reminded of everything we already covered and where we are now. Lastly, sometimes when I am working from home I won’t put makeup on or have some huge sweater. I wouldn’t typically go to the doctor like that but Dr. Patel doesn’t feel judgmental if I call into our appointment like that. I am so thankful for his efforts/treatment etc as well as Shelli who is the office manager. Shelli is extremely responsive and friendly if I want to reconfirm anything she reaches out to Dr. Patel and gets back to me in a very timely manner. I also had originally reached out to her in 2020 when my symptoms originally began and when it became apparent they weren’t going away I took the plunge. Shelli walked me through the whole process and practice each time I asked any questions. My only regret is not going sooner, great level of care and great results thus far. I finally am starting to be able to do the things I enjoy and feel like myself again! I am excited to continue to restore my health with Dr. Patel. I have recommended him to my good friend and I would recommend him to anyone who wants quality comprehensive care.

I couldn’t thank Dr.Maura’s practice enough! I’ve been working with Dr.Patel over the past year and looking back at how far I’ve come has felt like a miracle. Dr.Patel listens to your symptoms and he’s just as curious as you are to get to the root cause of what’s going on. I had various issues that I didn’t realize were connected (hormonal, fatigue, gut issues), but Dr.Patel listened to each concern and connected the dots. He recommended a range of tests so we were able to understand what was going on and tackle each one by one. I really liked his strategy of treating the biggest issue first and working through others over the months so the process wasn’t overwhelming. After years of struggling with chronic health issues year after year, and being told my test results were “normal”, my voice felt heard here. My body feels like it’s functioning more optimal than ever before and I’ve learned so much throughout the process. If you’re struggling to get answers as to what’s going on holistically and feel heard by your symptoms, I highly recommend Dr.P!!!

I started with Dr Patel about 10 months ago. He has really identified the reason for my symptoms with many tests. Finally got some answers! I am feeling back on track and most of my symptoms have improved dramatically. Highly recommend going to Dr Patel.

Dr. Patel has completely turned my life around. Our first appointment was about 5 months ago, shortly after my endometriosis & fibroid surgery. I was a mess- insomnia, high cortisol, symptoms of estrogen dominance, iron deficiency, cystic acne... I had about 6 different doctors, each managing one problem in a silo, masking my symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. Now, I *only* work with Dr. Patel, on everything. He considers the entire body, and tackles things in stages so we can assess the impact. After a series of functional labs, gut testing & bloodwork, Dr. Patel carefully recommended a gut detox, supplements & lifestyle changes. We review everything in detail, making tweaks to my protocol each appointment. I'm now sleeping through the night, my acne is under control, my periods aren't as intense- all with natural medicine! Not only do I feel so much better already, but I've learned to prioritize my health in a way I never have before. Dr. Patel is incredibly knowledgeable about hormones & really knows how to connect the dots. He's patient, kind & genuinely wants to help his patients! I can't recommend him enough!!
