Madhish Patel, DO

Dr. Madhish Patel is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip, knee, and shoulder replacement with approximately a decade of experience in the field. His journey into medicine began in an unconventional way, growing up in East Africa where he played international cricket for Uganda and worked in the aluminum and steel fabrication industry. With no family history in medicine, he ultimately followed a different calling, earning his bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Benedictine University in Illinois, completing a master’s degree at Midwestern University, and graduating from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Patel completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Michigan State University in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where he served as Chief Resident and gained advanced training that included pediatric orthopedics at the Children’s Hospital in New Orleans through Louisiana State University. He then pursued subspecialty fellowship training in Adult Reconstruction and Hip Arthroscopy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Throughout his training, he worked under nationally and internationally recognized leaders in orthopedics, gaining experience with advanced surgical techniques, implant innovation, robotics, navigation systems, and emerging technologies designed to improve patient recovery and outcomes.

Currently, Dr. Patel practices at Gardner Orthopedics in Fort Myers, Florida, where he focuses on hip, knee, and shoulder replacement procedures and serves as fellowship co-director of the Adult Reconstruction Fellowship. He maintains affiliations with HCA and Lee Health and is an active member of AOAO, AAHKS, and AAOS. In addition to his clinical work, he is involved in advancing orthopedic education and research in Southwest Florida through CME development, journal clubs, outcomes-based research, and training programs for future surgeons. Outside of medicine, Dr. Patel enjoys an active lifestyle that includes pickleball, cricket, and cycling, and values time spent traveling with his wife and daughter.
