  • Dr. Neil S. Patel, MD is an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and Adjunct Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Utah, where he also serves as Residency Program Director. He leads a busy otology and lateral skull base practice, with primary clinical interests in vestibular schwannoma, paraganglioma, and hearing implants, including auditory brainstem implantation—a program he established at Utah, performing the first ABI in the Intermountain West.

    Dr. Patel is a frequent national and international speaker, directing otology and skull base courses across the country while maintaining an active research program with over 80 peer-reviewed publications.

    He completed both his residency in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and fellowship in Otology, Neurotology, and Skull Base Surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Patel earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University and his medical degree from the University of Illinois, where he was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society and Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.

    Dr. Patel cares for both children and adults at the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics, Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, Intermountain LDS Hospital, and Intermountain Medical Center, and maintains multistate licensure to expand access to care via telemedicine throughout the region.

    He came in after I'd been treated with three others, hugely involved with ideas, medications, ways to look at some of my hugest concerns. After leaving this appointment, having showed up with some interesting and huge concerns, I've now got some huge information.

    Dr Patel is highly skilled and competent in his field of medicine. I was blown away by the results of my ear surgery and what Dr. Patel and his staff were able to accomplish. I truly feel like Dr. Patel cared about me and took the time to explain what was going to be done during the surgery. His demeanor is more like a concerned friend than a surgeon. I appreciate that he takes the time you need to answer any and all questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone having issues with their hearing or ears. He seems like just a really good person.
