Prarthana P. Patkar, MD

My Inspiration  

Medicine has been my lifelong passion. After completing my residency in ophthalmology in India, I realized I wanted to care for patients in a more comprehensive way. That led me to retrain in primary care, where I can take a holistic approach to health and build relationships to help people achieve and maintain overall well-being.

What I’m Passionate About  

I am passionate about preventive medicine, chronic disease management and patient education. Identifying health concerns early and reducing preventable complications can have a significant impact on quality of life. Equally important is empowering patients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health.

Off the Clock  

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time in nature through activities such as hiking and swimming. I also like binge-watching TV shows.

My Commitment to You 

My approach to patient care is rooted in compassion, trust and personalized medicine. I believe that every patient is unique, and healthcare should be tailored to individual circumstances, values and goals. I take the time to listen and truly understand my patients as this is fundamental to providing exceptional care. My commitment is to build lasting relationships with patients and support them with thoughtful, patient-centered care at every step.
