Port Arthur, Texas Sep 2, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Amit M. Patel, a board-certified dermatologist and healthcare leader, is making significant strides in providing high-quality dermatologic care to underserved communities. With a mission to elevate skin health standards outside major urban centers, Dr. Patel has successfully established practices in Port Arthur and Victoria, Texas, and is set to expand his impact soon to Arizona.

Dr. Patel was born and raised in Houston, Texas, where he developed a passion for accessible healthcare.

His comprehensive training includes an internship at the University of Illinois-Chicago/Advocate Christ Medical Center and a dermatology residency at the University of California, Irvine, where he served as Chief Resident of Medical Education.

While Dr. Patel is highly trained in cosmetic dermatology, his primary focus is on medical and surgical dermatology, particularly the early detection and treatment of melanoma and other skin cancers.
