Dr. Shivam Patel

Hi! I’m Dr. Shivam Patel, DDS (AKA: Dr. Silver). Raised in Weatherford Tx after moving from California while in elementary school, I proudly call myself a Texan today. From then to now, I’ve always been a nerd. And proud of it! It’s actually how I got the name “Dr. Silver.” As a kid, and still to this day, reading for pleasure was my favorite pastime. That never stopped me from competing against my friends in basketball, footraces, or countless other physical activities and coming in 2nd place more often than not. Hence the name. “Never Gold, but always Silver.” Two decades later I was able to add the “Dr.” part to that nickname.

For me, healthcare was always the field I wanted to pursue. In high school, I shadowed every type of doctor imaginable. What drew me to dentistry was the realization that they got to combine the ability to develop relationships with their patients with being able to actively use their hands to deliver treatment. I certainly didn’t think my search for a career when I was fourteen years old would reveal what I can only describe as a calling!

After receiving my Biomedical Sciences Degree from Texas A&M University in 2018, I eagerly signed on for another four years at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry. In May of 2022, eight years of hard work paid off when I graduated again and earned the “DDS” title. A passion for dentistry and knowledge combined with the joy of meeting new people I can help is why when you come to see us, I’ll likely have a smile on my face. I look forward to seeing you and hope you stay happy, healthy, and smiling.
