About Dr. Ronak Patel

Virtually working Dr. Ronak Patel has been a true pleasure. In a medical community that focuses on a narrow spectrum, Dr. Patel took his time and worked on much more holistic approach to my ailments. I feel great and better than ever. Taking a proactive approach to my health has been the greatest decision.

I am so grateful to have been working with Dr. Patel over the past 8 months to treat my gut issues (SIBO & leaky gut). Prior to working with him, I always struggled to find a doctor who wanted to delve deep to find the root cause of my ongoing & long-term symptoms and help me heal my gut. 8 months ago, it seemed as if everything I was eating was not agreeing with me and my digestion system was out of whack pretty much everyday…now after 8 months, I am back to eating so many foods I wasn’t able to tolerate before and am feeling so much better and more like myself! I have been able to find so much symptom relief through a personalized treatment plan curated by Dr. Patel and he has been extremely transparent and informative throughout the process, guiding me each step of the way. His kindness and constant support & encouragement is not something you find in every doctor and is something I especially appreciate with him. He is amazing and I seriously cannot recommend him enough!!!!

Dr. Patel is awesome! Highly recommend him for any GI issues. Over the last few months he has helped me feel the best I have felt after getting diagnosed with SIBO. I didn’t realize how badly I felt after eating, I kind of thought it was normal. Now no bloating at all! I will say the process is not linear, definitely had some ups and downs trying different supplements, but it was worth every penny.

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!

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.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Patel. He is warm and personable, which is really helpful when you are talking to a stranger about your poop! He ordered thorough testing, and even asked me if there were other tests that I wanted to do. That was HUGE, as I’ve had several doctors turn me down when I requested tests in the past. (That seriously blows my mind. If I want to be tested and am willing to pay for it, WHY NOT?!?!) The conventional doctors I saw about my digestive problems were absolutely useless. They wanted me to accept IBS-D as a condition with no cure, and could only offer me drugs to slow down my intestinal function and hopefully reduce my symptoms. However, after working with Dr. Patel for about 6 months, the severe IBS that I had been struggling with for 3 years finally started to heal! Additionally, I really appreciate that I was able to do my testing at home and my office visits online. I couldn’t find anyone like Dr. Patel near where I live, so I’m really thankful I could work with Dr. Maura’s clinic this way.

Before meeting with Dr Patel, I was struggling with super bad bloating/gas and abdominal pain. I visited several gastroenterologists for almost a full year, and I never got a straight answer about what was causing my symptoms. This was so frustrating. Dr. Patel ordered me several at home tests and we discovered I was dealing with SIBO and Leaky Gut. Finally having an answer about what was happening to my body was so refreshing. From then on I have been working with Dr. Patel to help heal from SIBO and Leaky Gut. My symptoms are not totally gone and I still have work to do. But wow, I feel A LOT better than a year ago. And that’s because of Dr. Patel. I’m excited to fully heal with his help and the structured plan he has created for me.

It has been a pleasure working with Dr Patel over the last year. He has helped me tremendously. I was initially wary of functional medicine, but willing to try it. I now have a greater handle on my health, which has been evidenced by my blood tests returning to normal limits for my initial concerns. Dr Patel clearly cares about his clients, he is a great listener, and offers clear explanations and timelines. He does not push unnecessary supplements, and is very open about wanting to keep the amount of supplements you are on low. He has a more integrative approach, and understands that both traditional medicine and functional medicine work synergistically. He is very aware of and concerned about the money his clients are spending, so he does not push unnecessary tests or supplements, as some predatory places will. I will continue working with Dr Patel and highly recommend him!

Dr. Patel is awesome! I’ve been working with him for about a month and results are already showing in my skin and gut. He listens and explains things clearly so I feel like I truly understand what is going on. Highly recommend!

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.

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!

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 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 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!!

I've had a great/positive experience working with Dr. Patel on gut health issues so far. The changes in my body are already noticeable after a couple of months of treatment, and I appreciate that Dr. Patel doesn't make me feel bad or like I'm falling behind if I slip up on my treatment plan every once in awhile. I look forward to continuing to make progress as his patient!
