Dr. Patel completed his residency at UConn Health and chose Hartford because he saw a community that needed a family doctor who would stay. He founded Clearwater Family Medicine with one principle: know your patients by name, not by chart number.

“Medicine isn't just about treating symptoms. It's about knowing your patients, their families, their lives — and building a care plan that fits all of it.”

Today the practice includes six board-certified providers serving over 18,000 patients. Despite the growth, the philosophy hasn't changed: every patient gets the time and attention they deserve.

Dr. Santos has been our family doctor for 8 years. She remembers everything about our kids' health history. The front desk is friendly and getting appointments is easy.

Switched to Hartford Family Medicine after my old doctor retired. Best decision. They actually listen and don't rush you out. Got a same-day appointment when I had the flu.

The telehealth option is a game-changer for my chronic condition follow-ups. Professional, thorough, and I don't have to take time off work.
