Dr Patel listened from the very first consultation acknowledging the severe effect my daughter’s perception of her ears had on her mental health. She has several mental health conditions including Autism, depression and anxiety and he represented her exceptionally to assist her to obtain funding for this operation. Once given this opportunity she diligently followed all recommendations both pre and post operatively, which in conjunction with excellent surgery and a supportive wider MDT, has resulted in a much more confident individual. This surgery has not only improved her perceived physical health but had a massive positive impact on her mental health. Thank you to the whole team both clinical and administrative.

I have had lots of appointments with Dr Patel as well as with the five different oncology registrars over the last 11 years. I think I have had more than 100 appointments over these years and Dr Patel had treated me the last six years, I think. I appreciated his clear and caring explanations about any procedures I was undergoing. His caring explanations and respectful approach helped me to go through all the treatments I had. I am now free from cancer cells in my body and have fully recovered - so grateful to Dr Patel for all the treatment plan and care during my cancer treatment. Mu husband came to many of my appointmens and he feels the same gratitude. All our respect goes to the doctors and registrares and surgeons and all the caring nurses! Tatyana

I am extremely happy with Mr Patel’s care and expertise. From meeting him to discuss my surgery, to my post operative consultations, he has been informative, reassuring, kind, caring and knowledgeable. He was open and honest about what the surgery will entail and I am extremely pleased with the results, he is very skilful. Other medical practitioners have also commented on his surgical skill after seeing me post operation. He is thorough and even after my operation, he still wants to ensure that I am healing well and that there are no complications, and that I am happy with what he has done. Excellent care from a very nice man. I feel safe in his hands.

I’ve had the privilege of having this astute doctor undertake my reconstruction surgery and aftercare. He was very compassionate and made my cancer journey better than expected, he understood my concerns and provided wholistic solutions which gave me the confidence needed to get through it all. I’m very impressed with his attention to detail and pleased with my results so far. I would recommend him to anyone undertaking reconstructive surgery as we all need a light at the end of the tunnel when going through something like this and he provided just that. Thank you so much Dr N. Patel!

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.
