Mr Vipul Patel

Written by a patient at Spire St Anthony's Hospital

Mr Patel diagnosed that I needed surgery to repair the rotator cuff on my right shoulder through thorough investigation including an MRI scan. On his advice I had first had physiotherapy to see if by that I could avoid surgery. That was unsuccessful. So I was clear that surgery was needed.explained the nature of the upcoming surgery and the regime for recovery very clearly. He talked me through this again shortly before he performed the operation (which was in early December 2015). And he came to tell me how the surgery had gone soon after I was back in my hospital room. I have made a much quicker recovery, and regained far more of my shoulder flexibility and strength, than might have been expected. This is a tribute to his surgical excellence, backed by his very good team. And his Secretary was always enormously helpful. I am likely to need surgery on my other shoulder in coming months and I shall ask Mr Patel to perform that.

Mr Vipul Patel performed a radial head fracture operation on me. I now have a fully functioning arm and extremely happy with the outcome and treatment I received from Mr Patel. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Patel and found he communicated well before and after the operation.

Very helpful in describing the operation and also suggestions involving after care. What to expect and about the exercises being very important.

I had surgery following a bad break in my shoulder, the humoral head. After about 18 months it started to ache so I went back to Mr Patel, who advised me that I had osteo necrosis in the bone. I went back for surgery to "sort me out" and he did a brilliant job. I have every faith in Mr V Patel, he has looked after me so well, I can't think how he could make it any better for me.

I suffered a fractured olecranon process of my left elbow just before Christmas 2015. I was very fortunate in finding Mr. Patel who treated trauma patients at St. Anthony's hospital and was seen within 2 days and operated on within the week. I was treated with the utmost kindness and professionalism and given all the appropriate information needed. I was discharged the day following surgery and was able to drive my car again within three weeks. I would thoroughly recommend Mr. Patel. I had extensive bruising due to the injury but I believe that the treatment I had and encouragement to use the arm within a careful framework, has meant that I have now full use of my left arm within three months.
