Parth Nimish Patel, DPM

About

Dr. Parth Nimish Patel is originally from Placentia, California. He attended the University of California, Irvine, where he completed his undergraduate studies, then went on to attend Western University of Health Sciences, College of Podiatric Medicine, and completed his podiatric surgical residency at UCLA. Dr. Patel brings extensive experience in teaching, supporting the professional growth of students and residents through hands-on clinical instruction, and he is ABFAS Board Qualified in Foot Surgery. In his free time, Dr. Patel enjoys archery.

I am a podiatric physician specializing in comprehensive medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle, with particular interests in diabetic foot care, complex wounds, limb preservation, sports medicine and musculoskeletal conditions. My approach emphasizes careful evaluation, evidence-based treatment, and close collaboration with vascular surgery, primary care, and other specialists when a patient’s condition requires multidisciplinary care. I strive to explain each diagnosis clearly, develop individualized treatment plans, and help patients remain active, independent, and confident in their care.
