About Kelsey-Seybold Clinic
Dr. Patni has been with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic since 2009 and sees patients at the group's Rice Village OB/GYN office, which has three OB-GYNs. Her profile names menopause care as a specialty alongside general OB-GYN, and her bio says she works on midlife health through lifestyle changes, hormone therapy and osteoporosis prevention. She also runs a full obstetric practice and does minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery, so menopause is one part of her work rather than all of it. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and trained at UTHealth in Houston. Her published research, under her earlier surname Phatak, includes work on preventing preterm birth. Her page shows her as welcoming new patients and starts the scheduling flow from the profile itself.
