“Dr. Patel is an exemplary psychiatrist with whom I have had the pleasure of working alongside during my medical career. Dr. Patel served as my attending psychiatrist, first during medical school, and later as a resident. I now have the privilege of calling Dr. Patel a colleague, and I continue to seek her professional council. Dr. Patel is dedicated towards her profession and practices with skill and compassion. Her strong ethical principles and consistency in practice habits provide structure and reassurance to our treatment teams and comfort the families that she serves. I first witnessed Dr. Patel’s clinical prowess during training in the child and adolescent crisis response center in Philadelphia, PA. She taught medical students, residents, and fellows the value of attention to detail, efficiency, and thorough clinical formulations. She was well known for demanding a high standard of care for her patients and ensured that trainees practiced accordingly. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for this prestigious award as she continues to contribute to our field and help many.”
