He is a fellowship trained Head and Neck Surgical Oncologist and Reconstructive Surgeon dedicated to the treatment of patients with head and neck cancers. Dr. Patel's treatment philosophy hinges on comprehensive patient care with a focus on successful cancer treatment while maintaining and restoring quality of life. To Dr. Patel, giving patients back their lives is as important as eliminating cancer. In 2016, he performed the first total jaw reconstruction on the West Coast.
