Dr. Dhruti Patel

PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health Specialist

I believe every person deserves access to respectful, inclusive, and compassionate care. Too often, quality healthcare—especially for pelvic health—is overlooked or hard to find. That’s one of the reasons I became a physical therapist. I earned my undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Georgia and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Emory University.

I began my career in hospital-based pediatric physical therapy, where I spent three years treating patients from newborns to young adults. Many of the teenagers I worked with were navigating conditions such as endometriosis, chronic abdominal pain, constipation, gastrointestinal disorders, and eating disorders. As I looked more closely, I noticed a common thread—the pelvic floor often played a key role in their symptoms, yet it was rarely discussed or addressed. Working with infants also opened the door to honest conversations with parents, especially postpartum individuals, about their own pelvic health and recovery. These experiences inspired me to focus my practice on bridging that gap—to make pelvic floor rehabilitation more accessible, better understood, and deeply patient-centered.

My passion for this field is also personal. I’ve seen how transformative pelvic floor therapy can be through the experiences of my own family members during pregnancy, birth, and recovery. That personal connection fuels my commitment to helping others feel seen, supported, and empowered on their own healing journeys.

My approach to care is grounded in trust, education, and collaboration. I take time to understand the whole person—not just the diagnosis—and I tailor each plan to your unique needs and goals. My hope is that every patient feels comfortable, informed, and confident in their body’s ability to heal and thrive.

Outside of the clinic, I love finding balance between downtime and adventure, spending time outdoors, and continuing to learn and grow as a clinician. I believe that great care starts with curiosity, compassion, and connection—and I strive to bring that spirit into every session.
