List of Coronation Street Characters (2004) - Dr. Patel

Dr. Patel was first seen when Josephine Lloyd-Welcome played Sunita Alahan's doctor in 2004, but was not credited as Dr. Patel. She works at Rosamund Street Medical Centre. In 2008, she re-appeared when her receptionist, Gail Platt asked her to visit neighbour Jerry Morton, who had recently suffered a heart attack. She appeared again the following spring, when Gail's boyfriend Joe McIntyre suffered a back injury. He visited her several times over the next few months, as he had become addicted to the painkillers she had prescribed to him. Dr. Patel was last seen tending to Sunita's daughter Asha Alahan in January 2010.
