Such a great understanding doctor. Diagnosed my problem very quickly and was dealt with promptly with the greatest care. Checked up on me and reassured me that he would have me on the road to recovery. I can’t thank this man enough for saving my life

I had not met Mr Patel prior to my surgery as my original surgeon was on annual leave at the time of my surgery. However, Mr Patel was very approachable and reassuring. Following surgery, Mr Patel was supportive and caring and I appreciate the high standard of care that I received throughout my stay, from both him and his team. I highly recommend Mr Patel

Profile

Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon,
Honorary Clinical Research Fellow Imperial College London,
MB BS, MSc, PhD DIC, FRCS (Gen Surg).

My clinical interests are in minimally invasive (robotic and laparoscopic) surgery for colorectal cancer and benign conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and diverticulosis. I also specialise in treatments for perianal conditions such as haemorrhoids, anal fistula and anal fissure, as well as general surgical conditions such as hernia.

I graduated from St George’s University of London in 2000. I completed my specialist surgical training in the North West London Deanery. This was followed by two fellowships at St Mark’s Hospital London and the London Colorectal Fellowship (Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital and University College Hospital).

In addition to my clinical work, I have wide research interests which have been established through my MSc in surgical science and a PhD both attained from Imperial College London. My research focuses on collaboration, leadership and mentoring in healthcare, which has culminated in numerous peer-reviewed publications in a broad range of surgical disciplines and international and national conference presentations.

I currently work as a consultant colorectal and general surgeon at Watford General Hospital and Spire Bushey Hospital.
