Glacial Ridge Health System is excited to welcome Dr. Alpit “Al” Patel, an experienced internal medicine specialist, to our team. Dr. Patel provides expert care for adults, addressing both routine and complex health needs.

With extensive experience managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, Dr. Patel also focuses on preventive care to help patients maintain long-term health. Known for his collaborative approach, he works closely with patients to develop personalized care plans tailored to their unique needs.

“I do all that I can for each and every patient, not because it is my job, but rather because it is my love and an oath to myself,” Dr. Patel said. “My goal is to help patients achieve and maintain their best health through thoughtful, individualized care.”

“Dr. Patel’s expertise in internal medicine and his dedication to patient care make him an excellent addition to our team,” said Kirk Stensrud, CEO. “We look forward to the positive impact he will have on the health of our community.”

Outside of his medical practice, Dr. Patel stays active and engaged through a variety of hobbies. He enjoys working on cars, golfing, rehabbing homes, and following the stock market. A brown belt in Karate, he has recently taken up weightlifting and values physical fitness as an important part of overall health. At home, Dr. Patel cherishes time with his wife and their son, who is currently attending college.

Dr. Patel is now caring for patients at Glacial Ridge’s Glenwood Medical Center. To schedule an appointment, call 320-634-5157.
