Vishal Patel, DDS
Pediatric Dentist - Napoleon, OH
Dr. Patel was born and raised in India, where he earned his dental degree and worked both as a lecturer and in private practice.
He later moved to Canada, completing a highly competitive dental program at the University of Western Ontario, where he graduated with high honors. Dr. Patel then practiced in a busy family dental office in Ontario for nearly three years, caring for patients of all ages, before heading to Kansas to complete the NYU Langone Dental Medicine Postdoctoral Residency Program.
Dr. Patel’s passion for pediatric dentistry grew from his early experiences treating young patients. One moment that left a lasting impression was when he treated a child with dental trauma while on call at a hospital—afterward, the child hugged him in gratitude. Another memorable experience was when a once-nervous patient came running down the hallway to hug him during a return visit. Moments like these showed Dr. Patel the profound impact compassionate care could have on children’s lives—and sparked his dedication to pediatric dentistry.
Outside the Office
Dr. Patel enjoys spending time with his wife, Foram, and their two children: Durva and Divam. He also loves traveling, playing cricket and pickleball, and gardening with his family.
