Why did you choose to specialize in Gastroenterology?
Gastroenterology is a fascinating field because of the variety of conditions that can be treated including esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colon, pancreatic, and liver disease. In addition, as a gastroenterologist I have the ability to provide colon cancer screening and prevention at the same time by performing colonoscopies. It’s really a great career!
Do you have a specialty of interest in Gastroenterology?
Colon cancer prevention/screening are of particular interest. I have additional training, certification, experience, and interest in advanced liver disease, but enjoy all aspects of gastroenterology.

The staff at Scottsdale Endoscopy Center from check-in to prepping me to the anesthesiologist to Dr. Nayan Patel and recovery room were professional and thoughtful for my visit and procedure.
1st visit very good. Dr. Nayan Patel is knowledgeable, considerate, helpful, attentive. Office was great - head and shoulders above many others I have been to! Madison McColley was very helpful and responsive. I have confidence that this association will go very well.

Dr. Patel first visited me in hospital. He seemed caring and understanding. My post hospital visit was not rushed and he made sure I understood what his follow-up involved. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Reception, nursing, and anesthesia staff were kind, compassionate, and very proficient! Dr. Patel was kind, and had a good sense of humor to ease my worries. Highly recommend anyone looking for, as good as an experience with a colonoscopy, to give them a consideration. A+ all around.

Dr Patel is caring and approachable. I was head and understood. He is truly patient-oriented. I highly recommend Dr Patel. His staff lives up to his standards.
I was referred to Dr Patel when my previous GI doctor was booked three months out.
I was able to see Dr Patel reasonably soon and that has been so in the six months he has been caring for me. He is very pleasant and an easy communicator. He listens, responds very satisfactorily, and is never rushed. Fortunately there haven't been any critical issues. I feel very comfortable and confident in his care
