Amit V. Patel, MD

I grew up in Raleigh where I enjoyed playing piano and soccer. I am very close to my two "little" brothers who are now much taller than I am. After graduating high school, I went to Duke and became a "Cameron Crazy" before traveling down Tobacco Road to Chapel Hill for medical school. Having spent my youth in the Triangle, I moved to Chicago to complete my training and gained an appreciation for Chicago sports and deep dish pizza. During that time, I met my wife, an infectious disease physician. After 7 years in Chicago, I decided it was time to move back home to take care of the great people of North Carolina. When I am not taking care of patients or reading cardiac magnetic resonance images (MRIs), I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, trying new restaurants, watching sports on TV and playing the latest radio hit on the piano.
