About Dr. Patel
Dr. Piyush Patel is board-certified in Nephrology and Internal Medicine. He completed his Internal Medicine training at St. Luke’s–Roosevelt Hospital in New York and his nephrology training at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Known for an incredible bedside manner and a joyful spirit that puts patients at ease, Dr. Patel pairs optimism with deep nephrology expertise to support successful dialysis outcomes. He has served as Medical Director of the Snellville Dialysis Center since 2008, where he rounds on patients daily.
That daily dialysis experience shapes how he cares for patients long before dialysis is on the table — he knows exactly what the road ahead looks like, and how much of it can be slowed or avoided with early, consistent kidney care.
