Mr Patel was nothing but the consummate professional at all times. He explained everything connected to my planned procedure in a clear and concise manner and with honesty. As a patient I felt I was being treated as an individual, a person and not just a number which is of the utmost importance.

I was seen every day in the morning. He explained things to me both before and after my surgery without any rush. He listened to my queries carefully and answered my questions professionally. I was very comfortable. Thank you

Mr Vanash Patel is a kind, reassuring and diligent Doctor who has cared for me on numerous occasions over the course of this year.
His calm and approachable demeanour, coupled with his attention to the patients needs make him an asset to our Health Service.
I recommend him highly.

I had been suffering from reoccurring diverticular flare ups for many years and from this I generally felt very unwell all the time. Due to my apprehension it took some years to get the surgery I needed and eventually Mr Omar Faiz, his team and I agreed that this would improve my quality of life surgery was booked for November 2017. Mr Vanash Patel explained everything that I needed to know including worse case scenarios and the possibility of a stoma.
The surgery was long and not quite key hole as I have an 80mm incision just below my belt line however worse case stoma did not happen. The surgery has been a complete success and recovery short, I was walking 5 miles a day within a month and back to the gym lifting weights at the beginning of January.
I don’t think that anyone can prepare you for the post op pain and mental darkness that follows as the drugs subside or the pain as your colon begins to work again.
I am over the moon with the result. Life changing.

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.
