Meet Dr. Ekta Patel

The Professional Side

Dr. Ekta joined the keith + associates team in May 2020. She graduated from Wake Forest University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Spanish. Following graduation, she moved back to the Midwest, where she attended A.T. Still University’s Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health to obtain her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry.

Dr. Ekta grew up in the Leawood area, and her family has called Kansas City home for 15 years. From the time she realized her passion for dentistry in the first grade, she never strayed from her calling. During her time in school, she was an active member of the American Student Dental Association at local, regional, and national levels. Her leadership efforts earned her recognition from the International College of Dentists. Her passion for providing dentistry to individuals in need, particularly children, led her to participate in numerous public health events for dentistry.

Dr. Ekta is multilingual and happy to serve patients in multiple languages.

The Personal Side

Outside of the office, Dr. Ekta loves spending time with family. She enjoys time in the kitchen (cooking AND eating) and spending time outdoors. Though her time in North Carolina and St. Louis was memorable, it also taught Dr. Ekta that there truly is “no place like home.” Today, she is thrilled to do what she loves by helping people in the city she adores.
