Dr Patel explains procedures well, is very calm and listens to both patient and family views. He takes on board concerns and puts things into motion. A CT scan was arranged immediately and discharge plan was effected without delay.

Fully discussed the procedure before hand, highlighting possible scenarios depending how the surgery went. Aftercare was exceptional, as there were a few days I was struggling, so as well as his morning rounds / visit, he popped in when passing to see how I was getting on, listened to what I had to say, and was sympathetic to things I didn’t want after I was sick several times (I.e. having a tube put down into my stomach again) and was happy to try an alternative course of action first, after a little negotiation, but made it clear that if it did not work over the next few hours, that I’d have to have the tube inserted. Thankfully the medication worked, and I was thankful that he was prepared to listen and try this first.

Dr Patel has a very gentle and considerate manner. He is very informative and gives details as to the plan. Pre surgery Dr Patel was most helpful and able to describe the process ahead. Post surgery he was very attentive and gave good advice for recovery. I would highly recommend Dr Patel.

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.
