Priya Patel, OD

Hi! My name is Priya Patel. I grew up in Cary, North Carolina, and earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2019. I graduated from the Illinois College of Optometry in 2025 and completed an ocular disease and primary care residency at the Salem Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salem, Virginia. Outside of optometry, I enjoy baking, traveling, and attending concerts. I just moved back to Chicago and am looking forward to trying to new restaurants and long walks along the lake.
