Mr Vipul Patel was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2024 for delivering outstanding care.
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon with a special interest in the Shoulder, Elbow and Trauma. I have over 20 years experience in Arthroscopic, Reconstructive and Replacement surgery of the shoulder. I offer treatment for trauma and sports injuries in my areas of interest. I endeavour to provide patient-centred care and strive for continuous improvement in my knowledge and skills.
Vipul was exceptional- he listened to my shoulder problem, suggested best solution and explained risks and rewards so I could make my own informed decision. He performed surgery to highest standards and the results have transformed my shoulder, as if I’d never had a problem in first place. Fantastic. Thank you!

Mr Patel performed a complex operation on my shoulder cuff post-injury and I have to say, the operation has been a huge success. I had torn the ligaments in my shoulder cuff, and I could not lift my right arm before the operation and was in a lot of pain. The healing process was long, but I followed all the detailed instructions given by Mr Patel and regularly saw a physio. Five months on, I am delighted to say I have made a full recovery, have full mobility and am swimming regularly again. Mr Patel is an exceptional surgeon. He listened, gave honest and clear advice and was supportive throughout. Outstanding patient care by him and his lovely secretary. Thank you!!

Mr Patel and his PA, quickly arranged a surgery following accidental injury. The whole process was very smooth and performed quickly and successfully with thorough follow up. It was particularly helpful that Mr Patel gained all the information from my initial care within the NHS on my behalf. Then enabling my urgent surgery to be carried out, covered by insurance, at a more convenient, calm and time efficient location.

Mr. Patel explained every step of my rotator cuff repair and when I saw him as a follow-up, he was just so lovely and reassuring.

The care and treatment I received from Mr Patel and everyone at SWLEOC was outstanding. This is my second surgery at the unit and I was very impressed and thankful. From initial consultations through to surgery and aftercare was first class.

Dr vipul Patel immediately diagnosed the problem I had and recommended a course of action. He clearly outlined the pros and cons of surgery, what to expect, how to manage post surgery and provided post operative physio recommendation. The surgery itself was a success and I am tremendously grateful to be pain free and able to go about my daily life once again. I would without doubt recommend Dr Patel
