Mr Patel performed bowel surgery for cancer just as Watford hospital was hosting Covid19 patients ( in a separate part of the hospital).
Mr Patel was so reassuring and calm and explained everything clearly. I had no worries about the surgery- I was much more concerned about the virus.
The operation went ahead as planned and I left hospital early as I was well enough to do so. Ten days later he rang me himself to explain the results of the tests. Excellent service at such a busy and stressful time for all in the NHS. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr V Patel as a surgeon, and Watford General for their care

Mr Patel from the beginning explained everything to me in a particularly clear, helpful and patient way. I felt fully informed of the situation and my options. I particularly appreciate the trouble he took to secure my early treatment. After my operation he has continued to be attentive and supportive. I cannot think of any way in which his care could be improved.

I received great care and advice from Mr Patel. He went through all the procedures very well and I felt that I was in good safe hands. Also listened to me and reassured me on all my concerns. A great doctor.

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.
