Meet Cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Patel

Cardiologist Sanjay Patel, MD, has joined UNC Health Southeastern Cardiology and Cardiovascular Care.

Dr. Patel specializes in providing preventive cardiology and has a special interest in treating congestive heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, and other cardiac conditions.

He grew up in London, England and attended the Medical School of Pécs in Hungary. He completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in cardiology, both at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. He is board certified in both cardiology and nuclear cardiology, and is a certified registered physician in vascular interpretation.

Dr. Patel has been practicing cardiology in North Carolina for over 20 years and is passionate about providing rural healthcare. He takes a “patients first” approach to cardiology.
