Vanash was very thorough in explaining the procedure beforehand.
He and his team then executed to the letter and I was discharged the next day.
A confident and competent pair of hands.

Polite, non judgemental, efficient and did a great job. I’m very thankful to have been under his care for my procedure. Other consultants have made me feel alienated for my condition before but not him

Mr Patel was very professional, kind and friendly and kept me updated several times throughout my stay at St. Thomas’ for a laparoscopic appendectomy.

I was admitted to hospital with a painful axillary abscess on a Saturday. Mr Patel was working overnight but none the less was very helpful in expediting my surgery overnight, in order to get me home the next morning and back to work for the Monday morning.
He came to see me with the anaesthetist preop and came to see me in the morning postop to let me know what he had done.
Mr Patel specifically operated in order to make my post op management as convenient as possible and clearly explained what I needed to do post op, something that was much appreciated.

I found Dr Vanash Patel to be a very caring, professional, and sympathetic person. My operation was for Rectal Cancer, and I now have a stoma.

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.
