Mr Patel from the beginning explained everything to me in a particularly clear, helpful and patient way. I felt fully informed of the situation and my options. I particularly appreciate the trouble he took to secure my early treatment. After my operation he has continued to be attentive and supportive. I cannot think of any way in which his care could be improved.

I received great care and advice from Mr Patel. He went through all the procedures very well and I felt that I was in good safe hands. Also listened to me and reassured me on all my concerns. A great doctor.

From the minute I first Mr Patel on Christmas Eve 2019 I felt I was in very compitent and confident hands. His manner was first class and very reassuring at this stressful time, he explained every stage of the diagnosis and procedure in very understandabe terms.
On the day of the operation he took great care to go over everything again whilst completing the obligatory paperwork. Immediately after the procedure he even rang my wife to inform that it had gone well and put her completely at ease.
He visited the ward with his colleagues on a couple of occasions after the operation and explained the positives and the challenges of my procedure. We even agreed there and then the date of the follow up meeting.
We live in an area where it is vogue to say that people insisted on a specific surgeon to carry out a procedure, I have to say that as a result of my experience I would have no hesitation in reccomending Mr Patel and the NHS to everyone in a similar postion.
Finally we have been paying huge sums each year for private medical care, I can assure anyone reading this that they could not get better treatment than that which I have received over the last few weeks with the NHS.

My keyhole surgery to remove a tumour on the intestine was amazing. I was expecting a lot more pain and discomfort. 10 days after the op I stopped needing any painkillers, was eating well, sleeping well and walking the dog every day. Mr Patel was very helpful in explaining things before and after the op. The hospital staff (Watford) were all good too. My thanks to all of them.

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.
