West Hertfordshire Hospitals

He has clarified each step, asking me how it was, how I felt, and been responsive to my needs. He has been calm, positive but enquiring as to how I am coping with the situation

Mr Patel carried out my bowel operation in Jan 2021 (at the height of the pandemic). The operation was completely successful and the care I received was excellent.

Mr Patel answered my questions clearly and gave me confidence about the procedure and the post Op care.

I am extremely grateful for Mr. Patel’s dedication and care during this difficult time. It was major surgery and his support was greatly appreciated and he certainly went the extra mile during my stay.

This young surgeon was clear and concise and gave me confidence in what he said about which procedure he was to perform.

I consulted with Vanash whilst I was in hospital. Not only was his advice to me comforting his judgement was very sound. In my situation it was different from that which was being suggested by the hospital consultant seeing me and was in my opinion prefect as it saved me from an unnecessary operation.

I have complete trust in this doctor , he explained everything in plain English and answered all of my questions.

I am very happy with the way I was treated by him and his team and would most definitely recommend him to anyone in the future, overall he is a great person as well as a great doctor and it was a pleasure to be under his care and I would like to thank him for all he has done.

Extremely pleasant, kind and caring dr.
Happy with my surgery and grateful to be on the road to recovery
