About me
Ronak Patel, MD, is a fellowship-trained cardiologist who is board certified in internal medicine, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. As part of the MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute, he sees patients at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital and MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital.
Dr. Patel is interested in cardiac imaging – including nuclear medicine, echocardiography, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). He chose the field of cardiology because of the relationships that he develops with his patients and the ability to see the tangible benefits and improvement that care can provide.
He involves his patients in all aspects of their care and ensures that they fully understand their care plan. He also takes a collaborate approach when coordinating care with referring physicians.
Dr. Patel is a member of the American College of Cardiology.
