Dr. Patil earned his bachelor of science degree from the University of Florida in Gainesville, graduating summa cum laude with a major in interdisciplinary studies and concentration in the neurobiological sciences. He went on to achieve his master's degree in public health from the University of South Florida in Tampa before heading to USF's medical school, where he received his doctorate in medicine in 2002.
When asked what he finds most exciting about the field of radiology, Dr. Patil says he enjoys it all. "I like working with leading-edge modalities and interacting with patients," he says. "Everything is interesting about what we do. I enjoy each day."
Dr. Patil's clinical focus includes body imaging (CT, ultrasound, MRI and "virtual colonoscopy") and women's imaging (mammography, breast MRI and breast interventions such as stereotactic and ultrasound-guided biopsies). He regularly collaborates with oncologists and breast surgeons, as well as breast imaging patients.
