Just had cataracts removed from both eyes. Mr Patel was excellent throughout. He quickly understood my situation, arranged times for appointments that suited me and then provided excellent before and after care. He was approachable and knowledgeable listening to my concerns and providing sufficient detail to put my mind at rest.
I would highly recommend Mr Patel if you are considering this type of eye surgery.
Can not see anything I could say to improve his work has it was 5 star from the first meeting I had to the two eye implants that I had put in after having catarax when I was 9 and 10 .He put myself at ease straight away with the procedure he was going to do for me.
Can not thank him enough and the team of doctors and nurses for helping me through the last 9 months of hospital visits.
Mr Patel is young, enthusiastic and friendly but highly professional in his manner. I had two cataracts removed by him. He was careful to explain what he was going to do before he did it which was very reassuring. The result of both operations is dramatically improved sight.
I would strongly recommend him
I'll tell you my experience in the shorter version rather than the long one. I stepped into A&E eye out patient on 28th December 2016 hence bang on between Christmas and New Year and the junior doctors were on duty. They dealt with me everyday until 4th January 2017 when Mr Patel came back after the Christmas break they were beyond excellent and cannot fault any aspect of care from any of them.
Once seen by Mr Patel, he told me what condition I had developed and started treating me accordingly with dignity, care and empathy. I was seeing him every week as the condition was complex (in his words) and took a while to settle as he had his battles with it. One thing though he never gave up on me. Mr Patel was patient and managed to keep me calm, he explains things to you in a language that you can understand, no jargon and letting you know what you needed to know without worrying you. Through all this other complications arise with my health in other areas and he saw that I got the right care in the other departments of the hospital by referring me to the relevant consultants. Still he never gave up on me. Called me his challenge. With everything going on in my life too he was there supporting me asking me how I was and also other areas of my health. He never once didn't ask about my other health issues.
He has dealt with me personally all the way through and I'm still seeing him but not as often now.
His team are a credit to him as they are all respectful, helpful and caring. I can't walk down the corridor without anyone saying hello to me.
Mr Patel is professional, compassionate, caring, empathic and dedicated to his job.
I have said to Mr Patel if anyone complains about the NHS to send them to me.
All I can say is Thank you for everything you have done Mr Patel even though this is not and will never be enough.
Mr Trushar Patel has been fantastic. From the outset he has been encouraging, reassuring, explaining the problems clearly and giving me options of treatment. I felt very confident in his care and knew that his door was always open, should I have needed it.
Mr Patel has absolutely changed my life, I had detreating vision over the last few years, Ive now got better than 20/20 vision. I am forever grateful and thankful to him for helping me
