About Dr. Ronak Patel

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.

In an extremely difficult year for my health, I am immensely grateful to Dr. Patel for his outstanding care. I began seeing Dr. Patel in June after being diagnosed with several chronic digestive issues (gastritis, duodenitis, esophagitis, GERD) and learning about naturopathic medicine online. When it came to my first session, Dr. Patel was very attentive in listening to my concerns. I shared the symptoms I was dealing with such as intense nausea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fatigue, and headaches. He took the time to address not only my overall GI issues but also other aspects of my health and lifestyle that could be improved. Dr. Patel also went in depth in explaining the potential root causes of my chronic conditions and providing several approaches on how to best optimize my healing. As a result, he created an individualized, holistic treatment plan specific to me which consisted of supplements, unique testing, lifestyle changes, stress management, anti-inflammatory remedies, and maintaining my strict elimination diet. Because of Dr. Patel’s kind and understanding nature, he expressed sincerity for my overall physical and mental wellbeing and made me feel comfortable, respected, and valued as a patient. With each follow-up appointment, I was making greater improvements than the last. Dr. Patel continued to be engaged and dedicated to my recovery and made adjustments to my treatment plan as needed. With his extensive knowledge, he guided me in my treatment process through teamwork and empathetic communication. In addition, Dr. Patel’s constant support and encouragement was something I really appreciated as he made it a point to acknowledge my perseverance and accomplishments during every meeting. Six months into Dr. Patel’s treatment plan and I have made significant progress in all areas of my health and wellbeing. I have been able to slowly reincorporate and eat the different kinds of foods I could enjoy before while also adopting a cleaner, more well-rounded diet that I plan to follow long term. The healthier lifestyle changes I have put into practice has helped me feel more balanced and greatly repaired my relationship with my body. With 2021 coming to a close, I am finally experiencing positive health days and feeling happy with the state of my physical and mental wellbeing. My journey to healing has been transformative, teaching me that your health is the biggest, if not, most important investment you could make. Taking responsibility of your health involves hard work and patience, but the outcome of overcoming your health challenges is worth the efforts. If you are dealing with similar and/or any other type of chronic health issues, I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his care approach because everyone deserves to feel good and achieve good health. And, after experiencing many incredibly tough days, I can now enjoy the holidays and transition into the new year on an uplifting and hopeful note. Thank you Dr. Patel for your ongoing commitment to my healing and wellness!

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'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!

Dr. Patel is amazing! He’s helped me to feel so much better all while paying great attention to detail in every appointment. I’m very lucky to have found him!

I can not recommend Dr. Patel enough. I originally reached out regarding certain gut issues and I truly felt relief after my first visit with just some guidelines he gave me before any tests were even done! After we did several tests and I got my results, the way Dr Patel explained everything in great detail was simply priceless. The journey is not over but there is nobody else I’d rather be on this journey with! I’ve learned so much and felt so much improvement in my health/body/mind. I tell everyone about my experience here. I’d recommend coming here with any health issues that conventional medicine hasn’t been able to solve.

I can highly recommend Dr Patel. Before seeing him I had been sent on a wild goose chase for years traipsing round other gastro specialists, multiple intrusive tests & ultimately just told to put up with my symptoms. After just a couple of zoom calls & some home test kits Dr Patel had properly identified my issues & gone further to help me spot other hormonal imbalances. And I can now say with confidence that I am 100% better. And this was all done over zoom to the UK. Dr Patel considers the whole patient. All your symptoms & needs. He has a wonderful manner & clearly knows his stuff. I have & will continue to recommend him to everyone I meet.

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.

I began working with Dr. Patel 10 months ago for chronic GI problems. He had me complete several tests, from which it was learned that I had SIBO, leaky gut, and low T3 hormone. After years of working with conventional medicine doctors, who told me I seemed healthy or simply told me I had IBS, Dr. Patel finally identified the root causes of my severe GI issues. Dr. Patel proceeded to put me on an herbal SIBO protocol and prescribed me supplements to support my anxiety and thyroid problems. After several weeks with these new supplements, I noticed an improvement in my GI symptoms and anxiety. Additionally, Dr. Patel’s approach to chronic health problems is holistic, and he recommended I begin a program for reversing limbic system impairment in the brain, which is a driver of many chronic illnesses. At my last appointment with Dr. Patel, he introduced a supplement to improve leaky gut and prescribed me a hormone test. Overall, Dr. Patel seems to absolutely know what he is doing in dealing with chronic GI issues, and I am excited to continue working with him. If you are dealing with chronic GI problems that conventional doctors have failed to address, I highly recommend giving Dr. Patel a try.

My health was in a downward spiral for more than 2 years and I was desperate for help when I set up my appointment with Dr. Patel at Dr. Maura's office. I tried every treatment recommended to me by my primary care doctor before seeing him - upper endoscopy, PPI’s, abdominal scans with no answers. I had so many rounds of blood work done with little to no explanation. I was at the point where I was hardly eating when I had decided to try naturopathic medicine. Dr. Patel was the first doctor to help me resolve any of my gut/thyroid issues and helped to get me on a plan quickly to restore my body to a normal state with the natural help of diet and supplements. He was the first person who made me feel like there was hope. Our first virtual appointment was an hour long and we went over everything I was experiencing and how we could resolve it. I shared with him recent blood work and he gave me very thorough explanations of my labs. He recommended stool testing at our 2nd appointment and we covered all of those results in detail as well. Found out that I had H. Pylori, Sibo, and a few other issues, so we quickly reacted and resolved within a few months. It’s been a little more than a year now and I am happy to say I’ve made a lot of progress. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone who is struggling with gut/thyroid issues. He will help you understand the whole picture and will carefully recommend ways to resolve whatever you are experiencing health wise. All of my appointments were extremely positive and I left each one very optimistic. Such a different experience from any of my other Dr. appointments in the past.

I had been trying to understand why I felt "off" for the longest time and thankfully I met Dr. Patel. He has helped me identify the root cause of why I felt the way that I did. He took the time to explain everything and listened to my experience. He developed a plan to help me feel better and is always available for questions or additional support. It's been 3 months and I am finally feeling like my old self- Truly the best Doctor!!

Very grateful for Dr.Patel! Truly would be lost without his help. Saw dozens of doctors for months who couldn’t help me. Within two weeks of working with him, after tests, I saw drastic improvement and many months later- still feeling great. Thank you so much!

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!!!

Dr. Patel was an angel sent from above. I was feeling extremely bloated, fatigued and tired of not getting answers. I was told that I 'just had IBS' by other doctors so when I met Dr. Patel, I was so happy. He took such a deep dive in to my past medical history and my current symptoms and figured out that I had Leaky Gut and SIBO. He gave me the supplements he thought my body needed not just randomly from a list of supplements. I am feeling like a new person since starting those supplements. I think the best part of this all is that I won't have to be on these forever. He is looking to actually heal my body so that I can go back to feeling great without restrictions.

Dr. Patel's guiding through a better immune system and guts repair was very thoroughly. I followed his advice and felt an improvement.
