About Me

Dr. Patel is a family medicine doctor in Kankakee who cares for children and adults, with focus on whole-family health and preventive care.

Dr. Payal Patel provides family medicine care for children and adults. Her practice supports patients across life stages, including routine visits, preventive care and help with ongoing health questions that affect the whole family. She works with patients to make care understandable and practical. Dr. Patel completed her Doctor of Medicine and family medicine residency at Southern Illinois University in Springfield, Illinois. Her current body copy notes that she is board eligible in family medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine. Because board eligibility is different from board certification, that status should be confirmed in DXE before any certification language is published. Her clinical work includes family medicine, health maintenance conversations, referrals when needed and helping patients understand next steps in their care. Her care style emphasizes listening, plain-language education and helping families make informed care decisions together.

This is my first visit with Dr Patel she did an excellent job.

08/29/2025

They listened to all my concerns

08/28/2025

She always seems anxious and I'm still waiting for her to talk to me about blood results and about a prescription authorization

07/31/2025

This provider is somewhat immature for her age and her behavior was not what I would except from a doctor. I also told her twice that I needed to have a RX for a 90 day supply but instead she wrote the RX for 3 refills. That's not the same as a 90 day supply. I'm also upset at how unprofessional she was while treating my daughter during her 1st Pap smear. I will not be coming back to see this provider

07/07/2025

She was very friendly and she listened to my concerns.

06/08/2025

Though te appointment was slotted for 15 minutes, I did not feel like Dr. Patel was rushing or glossing over my questions to move me out of the room quickly.
