The Original Vision for Direct Neurology in Pennsylvania

While the "Direct Care" model is just starting to arrive in the Philadelphia area, Clear Path was founded as the region’s first dedicated Direct Specialty Care clinic for headache and concussion. Dr. Patel pioneered this model locally because he recognized that traditional insurance-based neurology was failing patients. We didn't just open a clinic; we established a new standard of care—one where the patient, not the insurance company, is the priority. When you choose Clear Path, you are choosing the physician who brought the Direct Care revolution to the Lehigh Valley and the Main Line.

Why Patients Drive from Wayne, Villanova, and Bryn Mawr:

  • Total Access: Direct communication with Dr. Patel via our secure app. No gatekeepers.

  • Time as a Diagnostic Tool: 60-minute consultations allow us to find the "why" behind your pain, not just treat the "what."

  • The "Zebra" Specialist: Expert management of complex comorbidities often missed by generalists, including POTS, hEDS, and MCAS.

  • Precision Procedures: Advanced PREEMPT Botox protocols and nerve blocks performed personally by Dr. Patel.
