Congratulations to Dr. Shiraz Patel

Voted Favorite Orthopaedic Doctor for 2015 by Paducah Sun readers

“It is an honor and privilege to receive this award as it is an honor and privilege to care for the people in this great community. I am proud to be a part of the Orthopaedic Institute. It takes a whole team to care for a patient. My outstanding PA, Frank Burch, and great nursing staff of Kim Miller and Julie Burpo deserve recognition. Most importantly I need to thank my wife Melanie. I am able to focus on patient care because of the sacrifices she has made for me.” -Shiraz K. Patel, MD

Our Philosophy

At the Orthopaedic Institute, we strive to provide the highest quality care to every patient through an understanding of each individual patient's problem and applying the latest in medical advances and technology toward obtaining the goal of full recovery.

We consider our patients as members of our extended family. We believe that each patient is entitled to the very best we have to offer; a conservative approach to surgery and comprehensive ancillary services, combined with individual attention and personalized service reflects that belief.

We will work hard to provide every patient the best possible value. We will do whatever it takes to provide a diagnosis and treat each patient without regard to race, religion or payer source. We will not order any test, prescribe any medication, order any treatment or perform any surgery unless we believe it is absolutely necessary.

We believe in honesty, sometimes what we say may not be what one wants to hear, but we will always be honest. We will always recommend a treatment plan that we believe is best for the individual. With an honest flow of information we can help our patients find solutions and resolve the problems they have brought to us. We will always be honest and treat our patients with respect and hope that it will be returned in kind.
