Mr Vanash Patel

Written by a NHS patient at Watford General Hospital

Mr Vanash Patel was excellent throughout my time under his care from initial diagnosis, surgery and throughout my post operation recovery. He provided relevant information and answered any questions I had in a clear and concise way. During the week following my surgery, he was attentive and reassuring including the over a weekend when I developed some complications which he addressed promptly and professionally. I could not have asked for better care and treatment.

I've seen Mr Patel for two associated conditions within three months. The conditions were both dealt with without fuss or delay. I am delighted with the results as I am now pain free after 20 years of trying to manage the condition myself. Thank you so much.

Following a routine test, I was diagnosed with colon cancer, in January 2022, by 23rd February I had been operated on by Vanash in Watford, and by Saturday 26th Feb. I was home. From Jan to Feb all went very speedily and very efficiently. All staff, at every stage, including the Colonoscopy Team at Hemel; the Colorectal Nurse Specialists, the Ultrasound Team, the Covid Team at Albans, and all the staff on the ward at Watford, were very good. Judging by my operation and the way I am recovering, I suspect, Mr Patel is an excellent surgeon. His manner, and inter-personal skill worked for me. The explanation at the initial interview was clear, with plenty of time for questions. He offered to speak with my daughter in law, who had a medical background, if she wanted to phone him. The diagram he drew showing what he was going to do was really helpful, it allowed me to follow things later in the supporting literature. All in all, excellent, thank you very much. ( I might write a more detailed review which I will forward to you, if I do.)

Immediate follow-up to my next of kin on the day of the operation was very reassuring. I felt that I was listened to and I understood the plan of care and what was to happen and then this plan was followed. I have been advised that the operation was a success with my next check-up now not needed until 12 months time. Couldn't have asked for a better result. All outcomes were discussed and I was very lucky that the best outcome was what was achieved. I highly recommend this surgeon.
