About Me
I am a reconstructive urologist specializing in caring for patients who sustained loss of urinary and genital function after trauma or cancer treatments. Trained in genitourinary trauma and reconstructive urologic surgery, I treat a variety of conditions including incontinence, erectile dysfunction, urethral strictures, ureteral strictures, radiation injuries, and devastated bladder. I also provide surgical options for buried penis and can perform minimally invasive surgeries.
As a reconstructive urologist, I have a unique opportunity to support and empower people through some of the most vulnerable stages of their disease process. I am passionate about doing all I can to help restore each person’s quality of life, and my patients can expect compassion and empathy in every encounter. I believe in a holistic approach to care and always tailor treatment plans to the patient’s specific needs and values.
I enjoy working in academic medicine because of the collegial and collaborative environment. My research focuses on the impact of social determinants of health on cancer survivorship and quality improvement projects that can aid in expediting and providing the best care to patients. I have published over 50 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and reviews.
It’s a privilege to practice alongside such exceptional multidisciplinary experts here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and to offer the best care possible to our patients.

As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Patel has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. Patel had to deliver concerning news. He was extremely compassionate. I felt seen as a person, not just a patient.
Could explain upcoming procedure more accurately.
Dr. Patel was great at explaining things on a level I could understand. He clearly explained the benefits and drawbacks of each option.
Very kind and answered the test question
I would never recommend this provider for your ostomy surgery. Did not visit pre-op the day of surgery and he was the attending. The resident that was performing the surgery never visited pre-op. Still can't get a real complete solid answer as to why the place in the stoma is in such an awkward position according to other doctors and nurses and how it disrupts my life. I don't feel like I'm being listened to at all
Dr. Patel is Wonderful, he's passionate about his scope of practice. He listens, and answers all questions both professionally and compassionately. I only wish I could have shook his hand, as I have been a hugger my entire life.He has a wonderful heart and soul.Gives off excellent energy, and he's caring.I'm so happy I no longer have to carry napkins, and a portable urinal.The last two weeks before surgery I wasn't sure I was capable of taking anymore.As I had nocturnal urea, which is not only humiliating, but embarrassing as well.I can't possibly express how amazing it is to have as much control, as I presently do.Thank you so much, as well as the other attending surgeon, and entire surgical team.My care for overstay was very appreciated as well.
