Oral Maxillofacial Surgery
Amish Patel
Amish Patel is a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who works in both the public and private sector, and moved to the Geelong area recently in early 2019.
Amish completed both his Dentistry (Manchester 2001) and Medical (Barts 2010) degrees in United Kingdom where he is originally from. He spent a few years in a dental practice before embarking on the pathway to specialisation, including rotations in London, Nottingham, Bristol and Manchester. He moved to Australia in 2011 and completed advanced specialist training in Victoria at the beginning of 2017.
He then embarked on two years of fellowship training. This included sub-speciality fellowships in Orthognathic Surgery at Royal Melbourne Hospital and TMJ surgery at St. Vincent’s Hospital, followed by a year at the prestigious Oxford University Hospital (UK) specialising in Head and Neck oncology.
Amish enjoys all facets of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, including facial trauma, deformity, implantology and wisdom teeth surgery, in addition to the sub specialities mentioned above. He incorporates modern technology into his practice, and often will use computer assisted 3D planning to help patients achieve the best outcome in implant, orthognathic and TMJ surgery.
He holds public appointments at University Hospital Geelong, Western Hospitals and The Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne. He also offers zoom consultations. Amish has an interest in education and teaching, and supervises advanced surgical OMFS trainees. Additionally, he is a lecturer for medical and dental students in Victoria and NSW.
In his spare time, he loves playing cricket (much to his wife’s disgust), golf, squash and even used to work as a dive master and instructor in Honduras. On occasion, he enjoys spending time with his family.
