About Dr. Mihir Patel
As a board-certified head and neck surgeon, Dr. Mihir Patel focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat cancers. His interest in preserving patient function led him to pursue a fellowship in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) at the University of Pennsylvania. Before that, Dr. Patel completed a fellowship in minimally invasive, endoscopic skull base surgery at The Ohio State University Skull Base Center. Before Dr. Patel became a doctor, he was a chemistry teacher in Brooklyn, New York. He tutored students with limited resources after school to support the community's educational efforts. A student he had tutored died from cancer, and that memory is what drove him to change careers and enter the medical field. Today, Dr. Patel is dedicated to research on head and neck cancer genomics. He was part of the Winship team that participated in the ECOG 3311 human papillomavirus (HPV) oropharyngeal de-escalation trial. He graduated from Duke University and received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Patel completed a seven-year surgical residency at the University of North Carolina Department of Otolaryngology, where he focused on translational research. He then pursued fellowship training in Extended Endoscopic Approaches (EEA) to the skull base at The Ohio State University Wexner Center, followed by a year of fellowship training at the University of Pennsylvania Head and Neck Oncology program.
