Board-certified adult psychiatrist serving the Chicago area. Inpatient psychiatric care and telehealth outpatient visits.
Dr. Anandbhai Patel is a board-certified adult psychiatrist based in Chicago. He earned his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine through the Guaranteed Professional Program Admissions (GPPA) — a highly selective 7-year combined bachelor's/MD track admitting fewer than 20 students per year.
Dr. Patel currently practices as an inpatient psychiatrist in the Chicago area, providing acute psychiatric care to hospitalized patients.
Outpatient visits are conducted via secure telehealth — allowing patients across Illinois convenient, private access without a commute.
A new private clinic is opening soon for patients who want in-person continuity. A limited number of priority spots are being reserved for the waitlist.
Dr. Patel is an accommodating, curious, and smart provider who cares about his patients as people. He also provides occasional teaching on mental health practices and research relevant to my life!
Very thorough evaluation. Dr. Patel asked questions I've never been asked before at a psychiatry visit — the kind that actually got at what was going on. Left feeling like someone finally understood the whole picture, not just my symptoms.
Telehealth visits are convenient and don't feel less personal than in-person. Dr. Patel takes his time. Never once felt rushed.
Kind, patient, and genuinely interested in listening. Explains medications clearly and never talks down to you.
Dr. Patel is extremely competent and caring.
First time I've stayed with the same psychiatrist for more than a year. That should tell you enough.
I was nervous about starting psychiatric care as an adult after years of avoiding it. Dr. Patel made the first appointment feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. Trusted his judgment right away.
Extremely knowledgeable about medications and side-effect trade-offs. Willing to adjust based on how I actually feel, not just what a chart says. Refreshing.
Respectful, patient, and never made me feel like a case number. My family also appreciated that he took the time to explain the plan when I asked him to include them in one visit.
Follow-up appointments are easy to schedule and he actually reads notes from prior visits. Sounds basic but it isn't.
Dr. Patel has a calm presence that lowers your blood pressure the second the visit starts. Explains everything. Never rushes. Grateful I found him.
One of the very few psychiatrists I've met who understands cultural context and doesn't try to force a template. Big deal in my family.
Extremely competent. Clear, no BS.
Transitioned from my pediatric psychiatrist to Dr. Patel and the handoff couldn't have been smoother. He read the prior records before I even arrived.
Been through three psychiatrists in five years. Dr. Patel is the first who actually followed up after adjusting meds, without me having to chase the office. Night and day.
Sharp clinician, human being. Both, at once, in a specialty where you don't always get both.
Genuinely caring physician. He remembers small details from prior visits which makes you feel like an actual person and not a slot on the calendar. Highly recommend.
A membership-based model for patients who want a real relationship with their psychiatrist — not a slot in a rushed calendar.
