Dr. Jignesh Kantibhai Patel, MD

My Profession

I am a nephrologist which is an internal medicince physician that is a kidney specialist. I work with members who have disorders of kidney function or electrolyte abnormalities and patients on dialysis or who have had a kidney transplant. Kidneys do a lot of complex functions in the body. Disorders of these functions affect the general well-being of a person. Hence, it is important to take care of them.

My Practice Philosophy

As your physician, I would like you to know that I care about your health and well-being. A lot of kidney disease management is prevention. Empowering members with this information will lower the dramatic rise of kidney disease in this country. I try to concentrate a large part of my practice on chronic kidney disease, management and prevention.
