Ujwal Patel, MD

My journey into medicine began with a deep-seated belief that healthcare should be built on trust, time, and genuine relationships—a belief that only grew stronger through my training. I earned my medical degree from the University of Medicine and Health Sciences and completed my residency at MercyOne in Des Moines, Iowa. There, I trained in comprehensive primary care, caring for patients of all ages, managing complex chronic conditions, and honing a patient-centered approach that places listening first. I am Board-Certified in Family Medicine. After residency, I began practicing in an Urgent Care setting in the Metro-Atlanta area. While I cherished caring for my patients, I grew increasingly frustrated by the constraints of the insurance-driven system—the rushed visits, the rushed visits, the lack of continuity in primary care, and the feeling that I couldn't give each person the time and attention they deserved. That's when I discovered Direct Primary Care. DPC was the answer I had been searching for: a model that allows me to practice medicine the way I always envisioned—thoughtfully, personally, and in true partnership with my patients. Here, I'm able to reconnect with the heart of medicine: building lasting relationships, knowing your story, and providing care that's tailored to your life, not a billing code. A little more about me beyond the clinic: I live in Brookhaven with my family. I'm a sports fanatic who enjoys spending time with friends, exploring our community, and cheering on my favorite teams. It's this same commitment to connection and community that I bring to my practice every day. At the end of the day, my mission is simple: to offer you a different kind of healthcare—one where you are heard, supported, and empowered to live your healthiest life. I'm honored to be your partner in that journey.
