Following completion of seven and a half years of post-graduate training, Dr. Patel relocated to the Coachella Valley and joined Eisenhower Desert Cardiology Center. He remains Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Adult General Cardiology, Echocardiography, and Nuclear Cardiology. In fact, Dr. Patel is the only Cardiologist in the Coachella Valley who is both Board Certified and Level III-trained in Echocardiography Level III (includes an additional dedicated year of training).

Currently, he is the President of Desert Cardiology at Eisenhower Medical Center (EDCC) as well as Medical Director of both EDCC Echocardiography/Vascular Laboratories, and Medical Director of the EDCC Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory.

He cares a lot. He knows a lot. Not only that, but he is timely and a great listener. If I had to paint the picture of the most outstanding cardiologist, it would look like and be Philip J Patel MD
