Dr. Anish Patel was born and raised in England. He and his family moved to Texas when he was 13, and then to Florida at the age of 16. He has been in Florida since. Dr. Patel received his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida in Orlando in biology. He then received his Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry from NOVA Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale.

Shortly after Dr. Patel graduated, he started a dental practice in Jacksonville, FL. He realized then he and his family would prefer to live in a smaller city. He toured all of Florida and found the Emerald Coast to be perfect for his family.
Dr. Patel has completed the following trainings in many aspects of dentistry, which helped him provide a wide range of dental procedures at Panama City Smiles:

 • Advanced training in implant dentistry
 • Progressive Orthodontics - advanced training course in orthodontics
 • Continuing education courses for cosmetic, restorative, and other types of dentistry

What keeps Dr. Patel motivated is seeing the results and seeing his patient happy when he removes their braces, or after restoring implants for someone who had missing teeth, and seeing that they are able to smile again. Dr. Patel loves giving back to the community and the Pier Park area and he looks forward to meeting you in person to help you discover the smile you always wanted!
