Pruthvi Patel, MD, MPH
“My favorite messages are when patients feel empowered after they leave our office.”
“Being able to put a lot of information into context and having a patient walk out of the room and say, ‘I get it,’ or ‘I see your pathway.’ It may not always lead to a cure, but it may lead to a feeling of self-empowerment. I think those are my favorite messages—when patients feel empowered after they leave our office.”
Dr. Patel is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Liver Diseases.
Christopher Cao, MD
