I have now had three surgeries under the care of Mr Patel and in all cases felt safe and cared for in his hands. He has taken me through a difficult few years after a cancer diagnosis, giving me the confidence to manage it.

Mr Patel operated on me for a right hemi-colectomy on 20th of March. The operation was a complete success and post op consultation answered all my questions. I found Mr Patel, a collorectal consultant surgeon, both courteous ,friendly and reassuring. I am very grateful for his professional care.

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.

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.
