“ I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was able to book my appointment. I was also pleased to reconnect with Dr. Patel and plan to continue seeing him in the future.
I highly recommend that Dr. Patel print his website address on a small card or piece of paper and provide it to patients. This would make booking appointments even easier and faster.”

“Dr. Patel has been my primary doctor for about 20 years. His exams are thorough and professional. He listens to concerns and when prudent will suggest life-style modifications. Over the years, he has referred me to a top tier level of medial specialists. ”

About Dr. Ashesh Patel
Dr. Patel is a primary care physician specializing in General Internal Medicine. This field focuses on the prevention and treatment of diseases in adults, emphasizing internal organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, thyroid, and pancreas. Patients range from teenagers to elderly individuals. This specialty does not involve delivering babies, performing surgeries, or caring for children younger than teenagers.
Dr. Patel earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Cincinnati and completed his Residency in Internal Medicine at George Washington University. He is qualified to treat a wide array of medical conditions in patients from teenagers to senior citizens. Care is provided with an emphasis on prevention and a holistic approach, considering the whole person. The goal is to provide the resources needed for a longer, healthier, and happier life.
Dr. Patel sees most patients in the office; however, he can occasionally admit and treat patients in the hospital when necessary.
All new patients should schedule their first appointment as an in-person visit. Future appointments can be either in person or virtual. When scheduling a virtual appointment, you do not need to be physically in Washington, DC—you can be seen virtually regardless of your location at the time of the appointment, despite any warnings you may receive from ZocDoc.
