Dr. Shaily Patel is a resident physician who treats pediatric and young adult patients with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) with speech/language, physical and occupational therapies. She enjoys seeing the difference early intervention can make in the lives of patients and families of those with NDDs. Seeing patients, once they are provided with the right resources, thrive and flourish in school and in life is especially rewarding. Dr. Patel is particularly interested in NICU follow-up, autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder and learning disabilities. She is passionate about intervention for patients of all ages, especially school-aged and adult patients with NDDs.

In her free time, she enjoys exploring Portland, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, cooking and baking, dance, spending time with loved ones, traveling, discovering new vegan-friendly restaurants, going on walks and cuddling her 5-year-old pup.
