Vanash arrived at my bed after the operation, everyday whilst I was inpatient to check my well being, helped me with all my post operation inquires . He gave me very helpful instructions to recover at home. Thank you

Vanash was friendly and caring. One of the few doctors to take the time to explain everything in a simple way and to answer all of my questions. Before my surgery he explained in detail all of the possible outcomes, good and bad and still managed to put my mind at rest about the surgery. During my re overt period, he would also try to include me in decisions regarding my treatment before giving his recommendations to the nurses or other doctors so that I felt like part of the process.
I hope that I never have to have this type of major surgery ever again but if I do, Vanash will be one of the people that I will want in the room.

Approachable, knowledgeable with a great bedside manner, he made the run up to my appendectomy clear and simple meaning that I was far more relaxed than previously about the procedure.
The incisions look neat and clean this morning and all the admin needed for me to go home was done before I’ve even had my first coffee of the day!
Fortunately I can’t need another appendectomy but if I did, I’d want Vanash to do it.

Vanash was very pleasant and explained the procedure to a great degree whilst being very reassuring. He made the process a lot less stressful and took the time to answer any questions I had.

Upbeat and personable. One of the few doctors to walk up to my bed, smile, ask how I was and then have a conversation WITH ME before answering questions and giving recommendations to the nurses / doctors to add to my notes.
Typically doctors talk to each other about me at the end of the bed like I’m not here or I’m deaf.

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.
