We are so happy to have him join our team.
Dr. Sandipkumar Patel (B. V.Sc & A.H)
Dr. Patel grew up in a village of Gujarat state in India. He graduated from a reputed, Gujarat Agricultural University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry. He received his veterinary degree from Gujarat Veterinary College in 1991.
He then joined Seneca Colege and received the Veterinary Technician diploma, and ultimately passed VTNE exam to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. He worked as an RVT /RAHT in different Veterinary clinics in Canada. While working as a veterinary technician, he passed the ECFVG program, and then passed the national veterinary examination to get his Veterinary Licence to practice in Canada and the United States.
Dr. Patel practiced for several years in Saskatchewan and Alberta Canada. He practiced veterinary medicine not only on dogs and cats, but on cattle and equine. Dr. Patel then opened his own small animal veterinary practice in Canada successfully for several years. He eventually sold his practice in Canada, and moved to the United States to continue his veterinary career practicing in New Jersey as a Licensed Veterinarian. He is also an active member of AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association), NJVMA (New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association) and AAVIO (American Association of Veterinarians of Indian Origin). He is also an USDA Accredited Veterinarian to provide international health certificates.
Dr. Patel loves his job as a Veterinarian. Building a trusted relationship with his clients, caring for their pets, and his immense love of animals is the main reason why he wanted to become a veterinarian. Dr. Patel also enjoys being a team member so that he can educate both his staff and clients, ensuring that all pets maintain the highest quality of life and health.
Dr. Patel special interests include dentistry, soft tissue surgery, internal medicine/endocrinology and preventative medicine. He is actively involved in pursuing continuing education, and learning the very latest treatments and diagnostic techniques.
Dr. Patel and his wife live in South Bound Brook. He enjoys live music, Bollywood movies, reading, camping and trying new restaurants. He believes in nature, prayers, mindfulness and Yoga. Dr. Patel is very active in the temple and visits every Sunday.
I am very excited to be a member of Happy Pets Veterinary Hospital. I look foward to meeting all of Dr. Sulner's clients and will continue to provide the same level of care that they have already currently been receiving at Happy Pets Veterinary Hospital.
Sincerely,
Dr. Beth Sulner, DVM and the staff of Happy Pets Veterinary Hospital Inc.
