This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, we sit down with Dr. Puraj Patel — bariatric and minimally invasive surgeon at Henry Ford Health, husband and father, and the owner & founder of Clean Cut Detail in Novi, MI.

We dive into his journey from the operating room to the detailing bay, exploring how precision, discipline, and purpose drive his life both as a surgeon and an entrepreneur. We’ll talk about:

How robotic surgery and detailing surprisingly share the same demand for focus.

Balancing family life with two high-pressure careers in medicine.

Building a business from the ground up while saving lives in the OR.

The importance of community, passion, and resilience.

✨ “Scalpel Meets Polisher.”
