AMD Global’s founder and CEO, Dharmesh Patel, MD is a board-certified emergency room physician and former co-founder of Neighbors Health. As the system’s COO, Patel helped steer and expand Neighbors Emergency Center from its infancy in 2008 to becoming one of the largest independently-held system of freestanding emergency rooms in the nation, at one time having more than 30 locations across several states. Through Dr. Patel’s vision, AMD Global has expanded its list of projects to include medical office buildings (MOBs), ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and micro-hospitals or community based hospitals.  To support the hospital infrastructure, Dr. Patel started his own medical billing company to handle the entire revenue cycle for each of his owned healthcare facilities.  It’s accomplishments include outperforming other revenue cycle companies with an expertise on out-of-network billing while bringing value to the patients and communities it serves.

In addition, he is the founder of Avail Health, a newly-formed, progressive hospital system with facilities being developed in multiple states including Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. The system’s first completed micro-hospital site location opened in Lake Charles, LA. in January 2018. With only one year of operation and its success, Avail Hospital in Lake Charles will undergo an expansion to add additional service lines, inpatient beds, surgical suites and clinic space starting Q3 of 2019.  Other developments include the Heights Hospital in the heart of Houston, a community landmark site completely renovated as a healthcare destination, Hedwig Place, a five-story medical office building (MOB) on two acres in Houston's Memorial Villages, recently announced in partnership with Stream Realty Partners; the Pearland Shadow Creek Professional Plaza; an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) and a number of freestanding emergency rooms.

Dharmesh Patel, M.D. grew up in Chicago where he attended most of this education. Dr. Patel studied Chemistry and Physics for his undergraduate degree at North Park University in Chicago. While completing his undergraduate degree, Dr. Patel worked at North Park University in a medical science laboratory, conducting research on finding a cure for cancer in children. Dr. Patel eventually joined the PhD program at Rush University to continue his work in cancer research. During this time, he was admitted to the medical college at Rush and finished his medical degree. The journey in Chicago ended with his move to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to start his Emergency Medicine Residency training where he spent the next three years of his life. The journey to the south landed Dr. Patel a job as an Emergency Medicine physician in Houston at one of the major medical institutions. He now calls Houston his home, where he resides with his lovely wife, Mayuri, and his 11-year-old son, Arjun, and his 7-year-old daughter, Anjali.
