Mr Patel performed bowel surgery for cancer just as Watford hospital was hosting Covid19 patients ( in a separate part of the hospital). Mr Patel was so reassuring and calm and explained everything clearly. I had no worries about the surgery- I was much more concerned about the virus. The operation went ahead as planned and I left hospital early as I was well enough to do so. Ten days later he rang me himself to explain the results of the tests. Excellent service at such a busy and stressful time for all in the NHS. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr V Patel as a surgeon, and Watford General for their care
