I had a shoulder Injury which caused me a lot of pain and restricted the movement of my left arm terribly. I had spent a lot of time in physio which did very little to ease the pain. I eventually went for a consultation and consider myself lucky that I saw Mr Patel. He advised an MRI scan which showed damage to what I believe to be the rotocuff . He explained that it was unlikely to fix itself and suggested that the best option would be an operation by keyhole surgery. I was reluctant to do this at first as I wasn't keen to undergo any operation and thought that I could just manage the pain at first but it soon became evident that this was not going to be possible as every movement caused me a great deal of pain. I took Mr patels advice and went ahead with the surgery which was a great success. Mr Patel diagnosed my problem very quickly and was very thorough. He explained everything to me in a way that I could understand and the results have been far better than I could have imagined. He is a first class surgeon and I consider myself lucky to have found him. Even after the op he explained in great depth the importance of the physio. It took a couple of weeks for me to get the physio and Mr Patel took it upon himself to complain to the physio team about the delay and pointed out to them that this should have been arranged without delay. I was actually doing my own physio tho as suggested by Mr Patels team so this didn't hinder any progress for me really. Mr Patel cares for his patients and cares very much about what he does. He is polite and very approachable . I would not hesitate to recommend him.
