Dr Vanash Patel carried out my bowel surgery. He was extremely professional and caring. I felt I was in excellent care and strongly recommend him. Please do pass this feedback onto his management team. I left with such a positive experience due to him.

During the summer of 2020 I was admitted to Watford General Hospital for an emergency operation. I was under the excellent care of Mr. Vanish Patel and his team. I am extremely grateful for Mr. Patel’s dedication and care during this difficult time. It was major surgery and his support was greatly appreciated and he certainly went the extra mile during my stay. Reginald Porter

This young surgeon was clear and concise and gave me confidence in what he said about which procedure he was to perform. I would like also to extend my thanks to the two most pleasant young lady anaesthetists who administered their part of the operation! Pease accept my gratitude in performing your skills and helping me out of a painful condition .

I consulted with Vanash whilst I was in hospital. Not only was his advice to me comforting his judgement was very sound. In my situation it was different from that which was being suggested by the hospital consultant seeing me and was in my opinion prefect as it saved me from an unnecessary operation.

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.
