Review

 

I am not qualified to make recommendations regarding medical treatment. Mr Patel performed a rotator cuff repair to my right shoulder in January 2026 after 2 years NHS prevaication during which time I am sure the injury had received further damage. The repair op went smoothly with almost no trace of the incisions made. Rehab proceded according to plan for which I have to thank the NHS and private physios who treated me. Overall the procedure was a success beyond expectation. I now have a fully functional shoulder joint and with only occasional minor residual discomfort which I understand may decline further in the coming months. I found Mr Patel helpful and reassuring at all stages of the process and would not hesitate to call upon him again in the future, should the need arise.

I have been seeing Mr Patel for several years. I have always found him to be excellent. He always takes time to explain everything clearly. I never feel rushed in any consultation. Six months ago I had a total shoulder replacement. This has been an outstanding success. I am very impressed with Mr Patel and SWLEOC Thank you.

Having had rotator cuff issues for 18months having carried various Physio sessions and continuing exercises the problem just persisted. Upon seeing Mr Patel who listened, examined movement providing injection then MRI decided upon discussion with me pro and cons carried out a surgical repair. I can only say how pleased I am with the results and the care taken by him and the associated team at Ashtead Hospital. As they I'm back in the game.

A full thickness shoulder tendon tear - great pain and immobility. All repaired by Mr Patel’s astounding surgical skills. Five months on I can play my violin in my amateur orchestra without pain in my bow arm, discomfort or restriction. An amazing result that I did not believe could be achieved. Mr Patel is a tip-top surgeon and a sympathetic and kind consultant.

Vipul was exceptional- he listened to my shoulder problem, suggested best solution and explained risks and rewards so I could make my own informed decision. He performed surgery to highest standards and the results have transformed my shoulder, as if I’d never had a problem in first place. Fantastic. Thank you!

Mr Patel performed a complex operation on my shoulder cuff post-injury and I have to say, the operation has been a huge success. I had torn the ligaments in my shoulder cuff, and I could not lift my right arm before the operation and was in a lot of pain. The healing process was long, but I followed all the detailed instructions given by Mr Patel and regularly saw a physio. Five months on, I am delighted to say I have made a full recovery, have full mobility and am swimming regularly again. Mr Patel is an exceptional surgeon. He listened, gave honest and clear advice and was supportive throughout. Outstanding patient care by him and his lovely secretary. Thank you!!

Mr Patel and his PA, quickly arranged a surgery following accidental injury. The whole process was very smooth and performed quickly and successfully with thorough follow up. It was particularly helpful that Mr Patel gained all the information from my initial care within the NHS on my behalf. Then enabling my urgent surgery to be carried out, covered by insurance, at a more convenient, calm and time efficient location.

Mr. Patel explained every step of my rotator cuff repair and when I saw him as a follow-up, he was just so lovely and reassuring.
