Oral Pathologist in Adajan, Surat

Dr. Pratik Patel

MDS – Oral Pathology (Since 2015) / Oral Pathology Consultant, NxtDent Dental Clinic

At NxtDent, we believe early diagnosis doesn’t just save lives — it makes them easier to live. With Dr. Pratik N. Patel as our Consultant Oral Pathologist, we offer one of the rarest yet most vital dental specialties under one roof: Oral Cancer Detection & Diagnostic Precision.

Our “Screening-First, Biopsy-Later” Approach

As one of the very few clinics in Surat provides:

• Advanced oral screenings using special diagnostic dyes
• Selective, precision-led biopsy protocols
• Seamless interdisciplinary collaboration between Periodontics & Pathology
• Minimally invasive care with fewer unnecessary procedures

This makes us a centre of excellence for high-risk oral care, especially in cases involving:

• Chronic ulcers
• Persistent red/white patches
• Non-healing extraction wounds
• Long-term gutkha or tobacco use

Real-Life Impact: A Life Saved Through Early Detection

In one such case, a patient with periodontal issues and gutkha use was flagged by Dr. Desai for further evaluation.

Dr. Patel’s detailed screening and targeted biopsy led to a diagnosis of early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Thanks to timely detection, the patient underwent only surgical excision — avoiding chemotherapy or radiation.

What Makes Our Model Indispensable?

Our diagnostic strength lies in:

• Diagnosing what others miss
• Acting early — before it’s too late
• Offering patients clarity, peace of mind, and precision-based care

Dr. Patel closely evaluates high-risk cases with Dr. Desai, including:

• Gutkha/tobacco users
• Chronic or recurring oral ulcers
• Unexplained oral lesions
• Non-healing post-surgical wounds

By reducing unnecessary biopsies, we lower anxiety and focus treatment where it’s truly needed.

Why This Matters — Especially in India

Oral cancer is one of India’s fastest-growing yet most underdiagnosed cancers, particularly among tobacco users.

At NxtDent, we ensure:

• Timely detection
• Accurate diagnosis
• Targeted, effective intervention
• Reduced anxiety
• Improved survival outcomes

Dr. Patel — A Core Pillar of NxtDent’s Philosophy

He’s not just a diagnostic consultant —

• He’s a guardian of early detection
• A lifesaver behind the scenes
• A key force in our mission to deliver precision-based, patient-first dentistry
