Dr. Akash Patel is a licensed Physical Therapist with a passion on optimizing performance and preventing further injuries. He found physical therapy through shadowing multiple providers in various settings and ultimately became fascinated with the field. This fascination grew from the ability to change symptoms with your hands and assist patients into re-engaging into meaningful activities such as sports, gardening, playing with children, etc.

He has a keen focus on several pillars to one?s health more than just the physical frame. He believes that there are several factors revolving one?s injuries and therefore must be contextualized for the best, individualized care.

His passion for physical therapy grew fonder while on a medical mission trip to Nicaragua. During this trip he encountered many individuals suffering from physical pain but also was deficient in other areas. This including nutrition/diet, sleep health, and even stress management skills. This grew into Dr. Patel?s method on optimizing performance from a multifaceted approach. Through this approach, he retains a holistic and all-encompassing treatment in a every patient?s journey.

He graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) with a Bachelor?s in Kinesiology and Business Administration. He then attended Midwestern University in Phoenix to earn his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. To supplement his passion on preventative care, Dr. Patel pursued certifications in Precision Nutrition Level 1 (Pn1) as a Nutrition Coach, Certified Sleep Science Coach (CSSC), and Certified Stress Management Coach (CSMC).

Outside of clinical work, Dr. Patel has a fascination in astronomy and enjoys to wander into the night sky through his telescope. Also, as a newer Dallas resident he enjoys riding his bicycle on bike routes throughout the DFW area with his wife.
