Ashni Patel, MD, MS

Originally from a small town in rural Illinois, Ashni learned to love traveling and exploring the world at a young age. She attended Washington University in St. Louis where she majored in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology. It was there that she developed a unique understanding of the brain and a curiosity that drove her towards medicine. She continued her education at Chicago Medical School where she learned more about the field of Neurology and its intriguing intersections with women’s health. She was thrilled to join UCLA Neurology which gave her the opportunity to escape the midwestern winters while also pursuing the field of Neurology with the most inspirational cohort. Outside of medicine, she spends her time outdoors soaking up the California sunshine and enjoying the proximity to a real beach (sorry Lake Michigan).
