Mr Patel was one of the surgeons who operated on me to remove part of y bowel that was cancerous. After the operation he spent time explaining what had been done and answered questions about my care going forward and queries I had about how quickly i could resume my "normal" life activities in the following months. At all times he was courteous and reassuring.

My mother was a patient at Watford General for over three weeks, and was in the Intensive Care Unit following her operation. She is now recovering at home and I am submitting this review on her behalf. These are her words: 'Mr Patel, with his calm and kind professional authority, always seemed to impart to me - no matter how deeply anxious I was at the time - a renewed sense of hope and confidence in the future that was still a possibility. I did, of course, also appreciate enormously the care and attention that I received from all the nursing staff at Watford General.' I too would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr Patel and to the nurses for the exceptional care that they showed to my mother throughout her time in hospital. As the operation took place during the Covid 19 Lockdown, all communication had to be via telephone rather than in person. Thanks to the exceptional attentiveness, expertise, and sensitivity of Mr Patel and the nurses looking after my mother, I was able to keep very well informed and reassured about her progress. I would like to thank Mr Patel very much indeed for speaking to me at length on the telephone both before and after my mother’s operation. He explained to me very clearly why the operation was necessary, exactly what it would involve, what the benefits and risks of the operation were, and how long my mother might need to stay in hospital to recover following the operation. He answered all my questions most informatively and sensitively. I was immensely appreciative that he phoned me as soon as the operation had been done. I felt that that call showed an exceptional degree of attentiveness and understanding towards family members. My deepest thanks to Mr Patel for taking such good care of my dear mother.

My husband has just come out of hospital (Spires Bushy) after having a hernia & stomach reconstruction... we’ve had quite a horrendous experience with another hospital nearly loosing my husband, many operations, coma etc... when this op came up we were both very scared, but Mr Vanash Patel explained in detail & answered all our questions, He truly is a wonderful doctor/surgeon who put us both as ease... as soon as my husband’s operation was over Mr Patel rang me. Thank You so so much Mr Vanash Patel, you made this last part of Kris’ Cancer journey a little bit better... Forever Grateful..

I was under the care of Mr V Patel, as I have had a lot of major operations in the past, all at WGH,I was a little worried, although I had met him in the Outpatients dept once. I was admitted to WGHas an emergency and put under the care of Mr V Patel I was in hospital for four weeks,.i must admit I looked. Forward to every morning when he came to review me,unfortunately he said I should go to St Marks for my op but just as the coved-19 started my op was cancelled but he told me he would make sure I would go to StMarks, true to his word I have an app on 20 May at St Marks, I would defiantly recommend, he is very attentive explains every aspect of what is happening and never in a rush, as I am sure he is,.his whole demeaned is very positive and immediately you can relate and speak and he understands.
