Dr. Nimi Patel, PT, DPT
Dr. Nimi is a licensed pediatric physical therapist and owner of Mini Petals Pediatric Therapy, PLLC. She received both her Bachelor and Doctorate education at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. She has just over six years of experience working in pediatrics in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, intensive care units, schools, and early intervention. More recently, her work has focused on early childhood development, infant motor skills, and toddler milestones. She decided to begin her own private practice in 2026 to serve her direct community and provide early care services for the infant/toddler populations in Arlington, VA. She is very passionate about physical therapy intervention early in life, and works with a hollistic approach to provide that individualized care for every family.
Outside of her work, Dr. Nimi is an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction books. She loves to spend time outdoors to hike, bike, and picnic with good food. On colder days, you can find her at the gym or crafting indoors. Dr. Nimi loves to travel and support small businesses, both locally in the DMV and across the globe. Her favorite place to visit is Spain, and one of her next goals is to become fluent in Spanish to better serve the community!
