Mr Patel explained all aspects of my treatment very clearly and what would be involved with the procedure. I felt reassured and fully aware of what the next steps would be at what was an anxious time for me.

I had the recent pleasure of being a patient under this Consultant/Surgeon. Even as a nurse, I was apprehensive of my surgery, however Mr Patel has a calm and warm approach and made me feel at ease. More than anything he came to check on me on the wards twice a day and ensured I was progressing and had everything I needed for discharge. Simple but reassuring. I believe my surgery to be a success (I'm only 5 days post-op) and without a doubt this is down to the care received, expertise and knowledge of the team. Overall, I had great care and continued support from Mr Patel and team. I would highly recommend without hesitation. Thank you

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.
