Shanti means peace. This is the feeling we hope to create for you. We hope that our hospitality and Asian influenced décor will leave you refreshed, rejuvenated and prepared to face the many challenges that wait. Dr Seema Patel is Medical Director at Shanti Medical Spa. She received her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and then completed her medical degree at The Ohio State University School of Medicine. After completing residency training in Family Medicine at the University of Illinois, she was on staff at Cook County Medical Center in Chicago for 3 years. In addition to her extensive experience with dermatologic disorders over an 8 year history in practice, she has trained with Dee Anna Glaser at St. Louis University Hospital, a well known dermatologist known best for her work with Botox.

While in private practice, Dr Patel obtained a Master’s degree in Public Health at the University of Michigan’s prestigious school of Public Health. She has a particular interest in policy based behavior/health modification, preventative health care and women’s health.

Dr. Patel’s extensive background in skin care and preventative health care is perfectly suited for the field of Optimal Wellness. As she describes the term,” We integrate traditional preventative health care with the most recent advances in diet, nutrition and hormonal modulation.” Our goal at Shanti is to promote “Inner Health and Outer Beauty.”

We no longer have to accept fatigue, altered mental sharpness, emotional lability and lack of motivation as inevitable consequences of the aging process. We cannot turn back the hands of time; however we can manage the aging process much better and improve the quality of life. After a thorough evaluation, we can develop a unique individualized program suitable for every individual. There is a voluminous amount of material that is frequently very confusing for even the most motivated, capable individual. Dr Patel has received extensive training and is affiliated with Cenegenics Medical Institute®, the largest and most experienced Age Management Medicine Practice in the world with patient from every state and several countries. Cenegenics® has been featured on USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and ABC’s “20/20.

As Shanti Medical Spa and Wellness Center approaches its one year anniversary, Dr Patel is pleased with the wide variety of clients that routinely visit. “I like the fact that I can do a skin care evaluation on a college student from Bryn Mawr or Villanova, see a middle aged man who wants to undergo an Optimal Wellness evaluation to prevent the onset of treatable medical illness, and evaluate and treat a woman with a Fotofacial® skin rejuvenation to make her look seven years younger.” She says,” I always get the sense that our philosophy of “Inner Health and Outer Beauty” is important to get sustainable changes in wellness and appearance.”
