Meet Your
Hoffman Estates Dentist
Dr. Ankur Patel was born in Chicago and grew up near his Caring Smiles Dental office in Hoffman Estates. Dr. Patel graduated near the top of his class and received several scholarships for his service and excellence in his coursework before going on to study molecular cell biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While there, he performed research on both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways vital for blood clotting to help advance the field of thrombosis.
Dr. Patel also completed an internship at the Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, TN, where he spent the summer learning from the brightest minds in a joint dental and medical program (SMDEP). He then attended the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in Chicago, where he obtained his Doctorate of Dental Surgery. While there, Dr. Patel enjoyed having the opportunity to help the underserved by completing externships that involved providing dental care to low-income and underserved populations. He also spent much of his time at the Milestone Dental Clinic in Rockford, where he provided dental care for medically compromised patients.
After working for several years at a prestigious dental group, he has brought his knowledge and passion for dentistry to his new office to serve the local community, including Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Palatine, Barrington, Barrington Hills, South Barrington, Schaumburg, and more. Dr. Patel is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, a member of the American Dental Association, a member of the Chicago Dental Society, and is part of a comprehensive study club with other dentists and dental specialists in order to provide the best care possible.
