Niti Patel, DMD, MSD

Dr. Niti Patel was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, where she graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Kentucky. Staying true to her Kentucky roots, she went from being a Kentucky Wildcat to a Louisville Cardinal as she began her dental journey.

She graduated in 2024 with a Master of Science in Dentistry with research focused on Guided Bone Regeneration, which was awarded the Southern Academy of Periodontology Billy Pennel Award. Dr. Patel is committed to providing a comprehensive and individualized approach to patient care.
