Dr. Pooja Patel, D.D.S.
Dr. Pooja Patel was born and raised in St. Louis and completed her Bachelor’s degree at Saint Louis University. From there she went on to the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Dentistry, and graduated with her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2016. Dr. Patel has since lived in California, Massachusetts, and Alabama but is very excited to finally be settling down in St. Louis.
Dr. Patel's love for dentistry originated at a young age and she decided dentistry was for her after she shadowed her own general dentist in high school. She thoroughly enjoys practicing dentistry, and especially loves to develop meaningful relationships with her patients. You will always find Dr. Patel with a smile on her face, and her patients describe her as empathetic, caring, and patient.
Dr. Patel is thrilled to be joining Meramec Valley Dental! She is looking forward to thriving in an environment that is patient-focused alongside Dr. Phan and her amazing team.
When she’s not in the office, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, their twin daughters, son, and dog. She also loves to cook, travel abroad, and try new restaurants. She is thrilled to be practicing in her hometown and is proud to serve the community that helped shape who she is today.
Dr. Patel looks forward to meeting you!
