His communication was fantastic, but his skill during the operation and avoiding a skin graft was amazing, I shall be forever grateful

Dr.Patel is one of the kindest and caring medical professionals that I have come across. He always listens and cares about how I feel about my treatment and if there is anything that could be improved upon. I know that he would act upon any queries and he genuinely wants the best for me.

Dr Patel has been a wonderful support during a difficult time. He has been available to listen and give guidance to my wife and myself. His professional advice followed by surgery was prompt and skilful. and I would highly recommend him to all.

Dr Patel has been nothing but kind, gentle and caring since our first meeting. I am under his care having had breast reconstruction 11 months ago. The operation went very well and the care and support I have received from Dr Patel and his team during, after and currently has been exceptional. Dr Patel put me at ease from the get go and continues to do so. Dr Patel continues to maintain his kind, caring nature and commitment to me whilst I still continue my journey with him. I was referred to him from Kettering and I feel very fortunate that I was. I couldn’t be more Thankful to Mr Patel and his team if I tried.

My daughter has been seen by Dr N Patel in clinic twice so far.
Our Experience of the care that my daughter has received has been very positive.
Dr N Patel was child centred in his approach and spoke to my daughter with ease, my daughter’s voice was listened to and any questions that she had were answered in a child friendly manner.
When DR N Patel spoke to my daughter, he took interest in her likes and fears, he considered her as the patient, making her fully apart of conversation instead of directing them at me. My daughter was reassured about the procedure she was having and even visual drawings were shown to explain what they would be doing on the day of surgery. This made my daughter feel more at ease and less anxious about having surgery. My daughter
Dr N Patel spoke to us with skill and expertise, all my concerns were explored and next steps were clearly explained. Follow up appointment was quick reassuring, we were given my daughters results and advice was given in terms of things we need to be careful off and things to look out on. We had the opportunity to express what we felt went well and if there was any thing that didn’t go so well. When discussing an issue we faced with my daughter’s stitches, Dr N Patel showed empathy and reassured us that he would look into the matter in hand.
Overall we are extremely happy with the care that my daughter has received so far from Dr N Patel and feel reassured that we will be having a follow up in 6months times to ensure, there are no changes.

Profile
I am a Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon based in Leicester. I treat both adults and children and work in both NHS and private practice. My private practice is at Spire Leicester, Spire Nottingham and Nuffield Leicester Hospitals. My NHS practice is at The Royal Infirmary Hospital, Leicester.
I am an integral part of the plastic surgery, breast reconstruction and skin cancer teams. I chair the regional Specialist Skin Cancer MDT. In addition to my reconstructive and microsurgery expertise, I have developed a special interest in cosmetic surgery of the breast, abdomen, body and face.
My desire for Plastic Surgery started whilst at medical school at St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry. I have had world-class training in plastic surgery from London, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Norwich, Swansea, Stevenage, Nottingham and North America.
During this time, I have completed six prestigious fellowships including Cosmetic Surgery, Laser, Skin Cancer, Breast Reconstruction and Microsurgery. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the most distinguished surgeons in their respective fields.
I am passionate about innovation in the medical field and being at the forefront of new techniques, materials and technologies that improve patient care. My enthusiasm has led me to be the Co-Lead for Innovation for the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS). I am also one of a few nationally selected NHS Clinical Entrepreneurs with NHS England. I have gained numerous prizes for research papers and innovations and have been appointed as a Lecturer at the University of Manitoba, Canada. At present, I am in the process of inventing new surgical instruments that will help improve outcomes.
I am the author of two medical textbooks, one of which has been translated into Cantonese with Radcliffe and Blackwell Publishing Ltd. I am currently writing a textbook, ‘Core Surgical Procedures at a Glance: Plastic Surgery’, to help train junior plastic surgeons. In addition, I have written three book chapters, six educational surgical videos and contributed to three surgical apps. I have also written over thirty peer reviewed papers and presented at over twenty national and international conferences.
The keystone of my practice is patient safety. I strive to ensure that best practice is followed in every procedure that I undertake. I have designed proformas and employed appropriate techniques to ensure better patient care. I combine cosmetic and reconstructive surgical techniques to get the best possible results for my patients.
