Mr Vanash Patel

Written by a NHS patient at Watford General Hospital

So back in 2019 I went to Watford General with severe stomach pain. Having been through the scans and all I was fortunate to have Vanash as my surgeon for a right hemicolectomy. He explained everything so well both pre and post the operation. Did such an amazing job with the op and aftercare too. Even after I got discharged he always answered my queries and saw me at his clinic to reassure and check my scars for many months. Vanash and his team were so amazing, professional and caring. They made me fall in love with our NHS , I have so much gratitude for all the workers there.

In May this year I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Hearing those words was the scariest I have ever felt in my life. I was very fortunate to have Mr Vanash Patel as one of my surgeons at Watford General Hospital. He is professional, kind, genuinely caring and interested in your wellbeing. He ensured I had all my investigations in place to confirm what was suspected on colonoscopy in less than 72 hours. Scary as the diagnosis was, the anxious wait for investigations to confirm the diagnosis is harder to endure. Mr Patel’s efforts ensured all investigations were done swiftly to receive confirmation of my diagnosis. Mr Patel is very patient, and I never felt rushed with any of my consultations. He took great care to address my concerns and to explain everything to me in the clearest possible manner including treatment options, procedures and after care. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr Patel for the exceptional care I received. I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery. Surgeons like Mr Vanash Patel are an asset to Watford General Hospital and our NHS and I wish him all the best very best and many more years of service.

Dr Patel has been a a great help at getting me out of the toughest point in my life. His calm and pragmatic approach helped me get the best treatment that I needed, when I needed it. Him and his team have helped save my life. From pre-care to post-care Dr Patel and his team have been there every step of the way with guidance, advice and reassurance that I was on the road to recovery. I can’t recommend him enough.

I have had two operations , one in December the other three weeks ago, performed by Mr Patel and his team. From the first consultation I found Mr Patel very easy to talk to , very professional and showing lots of empathy and consideration. He understood the discomfort I was experiencing and fitted my recent operation into his busy schedule. He and his team showed a lot of consideration in letting me know what to expect and in following up the operation later. Overall I felt very well looked after though out my hospital experience.
