Soon as I met Mr Patel I felt at ease and reassured. He is calm, friendly, confident and makes sure you understand everything before you leave. I felt in very safe hands and he did everything he could for me. He is a fantastic surgeon, I had a removal of my large bowel and rectum with an ileostomy bag fitted due to reoccurring bowel cancer and as well as being a success, the cuts are very neat and healed really quick. Mr Patel is very approachable and I never once felt rushed. I feel very lucky to have had such a great surgeon who has saved my life.

I highly recommend Dr Vanash Patel. He diagnosed the need to accelerate my operation and at all times was careful to explain the procedure. Given my advancing years, he dealt with the difficult conversations with the utmost professionalism addressing any concerns that I had. In addition, he was extremely attentive post operation, ensuring that I received the highest quality of care and making sure that any discomfort was treated immediately. I feel lucky to have had such a competent doctor and no words can express my gratitude to him.

Mr Patel showed great empathy towards me throughout our discussions showing great professionalism & knowledge. He dealt with the difficult conversation directly & answered all our questions & concerns. Mr Patel also listened carefully to us as we sought clarification or questioned him further for full understanding of the proposed surgery/treatment. Everything Mr Patel said he would do was carried out which included full disclosure of the procedure through to hospital ward visits as agreed.

Dr Patel was straightforward, professional, easy to understand and was able to describe the whole process end to end explaining the benefits risks and impacts of my surgery. Extremely reassuring. I don't want another hernia, but if I get one, I'm coming back to Dr Patel.

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.
