My assessment with Mr. Patel was very straight forward, considerate and clear in his approach. The following investigations were carried out quickly, with excellent explanation as he did in discussing the pros and cons undertaking the surgery. I was treated with respect and dignity throughout the whole process and support was taken to provide provision for my after care. I have made a complete recovery with very neat scarring. The hospital facilities were also excellent and caring.

Doctors, nurses, all medical care was faultless. IT connections were not so satisfactory.

At our consultation, Mr Patel explained fully what the operation entailed, did an examination and confirmed the diagnosis, listened to our questions and responded to them. I have a history of a blood clotting disorder and Mr Patel reassured us that he would be in contact with the teams responsible for this before the operation to ensure that all tests and medications required will be done before the operation. He was reassuring, listened to us, attentive to our concerns and gave clear explanations. His aftercare was also exemplary especially as I had a complication 2 days post-operatively. He dealt with the emergency swiftly and obtained care for me urgently even though he was away on a course himself. We are grateful for his care pre, during and post-operatively.

Mr Patel was kind, listened to my concerns and reassured me about my surgery.
The surgery went well and at my follow up he answered my questions and addressed my concerns.
His skill in his field has meant that my recovery is going well. Although I was very concerned about the surgery he was always patient with me.
I would like to thank him and all of the team at Watford General Hospital. All were excellent and all of my care has been exceptional.

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.
