Through her concierge model, Dr. Patel offers prompt access to expert care for conditions like IBS, constipation, pelvic floor disorders, swallowing issues, and women’s GI health.
Dr. Patel specializes in integrative gastroenterology and can provide special testing such as SIBO breath testing, GI MAP/stool testing, Food sensitivity blood testing, and manometry testing.
Dr. Patel provides in-depth integrative GI care and understands disorders of the gut brain axis. She provides personalized concierge visits, prompt appointments, access to concierge nutritional counseling and gut directed cognitive behavioral counseling, access to pelvic floor physical therapy and prompt scheduling of endoscopies and colonoscopies.
Dr. Patel performs endoscopies and colonoscopies in several endoscopy centers throughout Orange county (Newport Beach, Orange, Mission Viejo) and provides telehealth services nationwide so you can get premier care from the comfort of your home.
Relaxed 30-60 minute visits, minimal to no wait, and same or next day availability.
Suffering from pelvic pain, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic organ prolapse, postpartum constipation, painful intercourse?
Dr. Patel works intimately with the experts at Sarton Physical Therapy to provide comprehensive integrative solutions for your pelvic floor needs including compounded medications, pelvic floor physical therapy, acupuncture, Pilates, and more.
Dr. Patel will gently guide a slender, flexible tube known as an endoscope through your mouth to examine your esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. This upper endoscopy (EGD) procedure features a tiny camera that captures vivid images, allowing for a precise evaluation of your digestive health. It helps detect acid reflux (GERD), ulcers, gastritis, Barrett’s esophagus, and other gastrointestinal conditions.
This comprehensive EGD procedure is recommended for individuals experiencing chronic heartburn, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), persistent abdominal pain, nausea, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
Prepare for a reassuring journey with Dr. Patel as she introduces a flexible colonoscope through your rectum into your colon. Equipped with a tiny camera, this tool provides a meticulous examination of your colon's interior, detecting any irregularities and ensuring a comprehensive assessment of your digestive well-being.
This comprehensive screening is essential for anyone aged 45 and older, as well as those with a family history of colorectal issues, to detect and prevent colorectal cancer, polyps, and other gastrointestinal concerns.
Imagine a gentle exploration of the lower part of your colon – that's what flexible sigmoidoscopy feels like! Dr. Patel uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine this specific region, offering valuable insights into your lower gastrointestinal health.
This procedure is recommended for individuals experiencing changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, or unexplained abdominal discomfort, offering a focused evaluation of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
Get ready for a state-of-the-art adventure! Dr. Patel will have you swallow a small capsule with a camera inside. This tiny traveler captures vibrant images of your small intestine, providing a unique perspective on areas that are hard to reach with other procedures.
Video capsule endoscopy is recommended for those with unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anemia, or suspected small bowel disorders.
Experience the precision of Ph-Bravo testing with Dr. Patel! This procedure involves a small device placed in your esophagus to measure acidity levels. It's a simple yet effective way to diagnose acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This test can give us an idea if the GERD symptoms are truly due to excess acid or due to hypersensitive nerves and providing valuable information for tailored treatment plans and lifestyle adjustments.
Hop on the esophageal express with us! During this test, a thin tube is inserted through your nose or mouth into your esophagus to measure muscle contractions. It's like having a detailed map of your esophageal function, ensuring a smooth journey for your food.
It provides essential insights into the function of your esophagus, aiding in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This test is recommended for those experiencing swallowing difficulties or persistent heartburn.
Let's ensure your rectum is in top shape! Dr. Patel will use a small, flexible tube to measure muscle function in the rectum and anus. It's a straightforward procedure that ensures your bowel control is working seamlessly for your comfort and confidence.
This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms of fecal incontinence, chronic constipation, or pelvic floor dysfunction, providing crucial information for personalized treatment plans.

Yes—Since Dr. Patel is only licensed in the state of California, she is not able to provide medical care to individuals outside of the state. However, she offers a virtual coaching program specifically designed for determined women who are tired of chronic IBS.
Visit the link below to learn more about her incredible coaching program:
Traditionally, health insurance companies set the rules for provider reimbursement, which then dictates how much time we get to spend with you. By shifting to out-of-network care, Dr. Patel can spend more time with you at each visit truly listening to your whole story, see you more frequently, and respond quickly to your questions or concerns through our inbox messaging.
No—Dr. Patel is out of network with commercial insurance.
Good news—you can STILL use your out-of-network benefits under your PPO insurance to see Dr. Patel in the state of California. You simply pay Dr. Patel's professional fee, and our team will help submit your claim to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Call us at 949-298-7112 (Mon-Fri 8 AM-5 PM PST) to discuss using your out-of-network benefits.
If you are outside of California, Dr. Patel offers a separate coaching program designed to support women struggling with chronic IBS. Click here: Book a call
