I was very impressed with Mr Patel. He spent a good amount of time both before surgery and afterwards, explaining the procedure and subsequent findings. At all times, it was clear that he was a good listener and his calm and authoritive manner was very reassuring. I was also impressed with his embracing of new techniques such as the use of robotics. My wife was particularly impressed that he took time, after my surgery, to ring her to tell her that the operation had gone well and to reassure her.

I was treated very well during the consultation and have full confidence in Mr Patel. I would not hesitate to see him again if needed again in the future. Highly recommend.

I found Dr Patel to be concise, easy to understand (no medical tech speak) and sincerely caring.
He put me at rest from the first line of our conversation saying "Hi My name is Vanash" I found these little touches to be comforting especially as the topic was my Rectal Cancer diagnosis.
The operation went so well I was discharged in under 5 days, with a full recovery outcome, whereas a friend of mine having a similar operation was in hospital for a month.
I couldn't recommend him enough and feel blessed to have him as my surgeon.
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.
