Crossing the pond
Born and raised in Wimbledon, England, Upen J. Patel made the decision to move to the United States after high school. Being the very first person in his family to attend college, Dr. Patel graduated from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry (UOP).
“I knew I wanted to go into the healthcare field. Pharmacy and medicine were common fields I was aware of, but I had little exposure to the world of dentistry,” said Upen J. Patel, DDS, MAGD.
“I joined the Pre-Dental Society and spent my free time interning at several dental offices in Stockton, California. Once I stepped foot in the dental practice, I knew it was what I wanted to do forever. I immediately quit the pharmacy and medicine path and enrolled in the fast track to the Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree (DDS).
“[Dentistry] is art, science, engineering, business, entrepreneurship, teaching, psychology and medicine all in one profession.”
Staying en route
“I was born in Wimbledon, right next to the world-famous All England Tennis Club,” Dr. Patel, now 37, said. “I moved to a smaller city in California after high school when I was 18 to start college at UOP. It was a difficult transition leaving all my friends and way of life behind in Europe. However, I quickly found new friends and a new goal and passion.
“Of course, it doesn’t hurt having a British accent in America. It’s always a good ice-breaker in a conversation.”
