Mr Patel is an outstanding Doctor of the highest calibre. From our first meeting he installed me with confidence. He has a rare ability in being able to deliver difficult and complex information in a calm and easy to understand manner. Everything was carefully explained, with all possible outcomes. He took time to check my understanding and we discussed my individual situation and the optimum pathway through it. The procedure was completed quickly and effeciently. I await my follow up procedure, confident in the outcome! Thank you so much.

I was a patient on cleves ward and was under your care. I had not been in hospital for years and I was anxious. You were extremely friendly, kind and took the time to explain what was happening and most importantly to me and my family, you listened. You listened to me and you answered lots of questions that we had and you reassured us. I can’t thank you enough for the care I received, and I wish you well.

The first time I met Mr. Patel was when I was already in hospital and needed the care of a colorectal surgeon. Before carrying out the operation he telephoned my daughter before and after the operation to appraise her of the situation. He did listen to what I was saying.
