I have seen Mr Patel for surgery on a tumour in my salivary gland. It has gone very smoothly and I have received my results and require further treatment. He is highly professional, but also very friendly and put me at east from the get-go. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Patel is a highly skilled surgeon who successfully performed a Superficial Parotidectomy on me on 19th March. During the subsequent follow-up appointments, he was extremely caring and reassuring, giving me the confidence that greatly helped my recovery. I would highly recommend him as an outstanding ENT surgeon.

I brought my 5 year old to see Mr Patel after he failed his hearing screening at school. I’d already been waiting for over a year after a referral on the NHS as I knew his hearing was a problem. He diagnosed glue ear and did his grommets within 2 weeks. It’s made an immediate impact and so noticeable. We are very happy with the decision to see him. I wish we’d done it sooner.

I had a thorough clinic appointment and Mr Patel answered all my questions. He is very professional and has a lovely manner. My sinus surgery went really well, recovery was fairly quick, and I’m delighted with the outcome.

Mr. Patel was excellent. I had a viral infection and didn’t rest my voice during the acute phase. My voice got hoarse and wouldn’t return to normal. I saw Mr. Patel and he explained the plan to me and what to expect. He followed me up closely until my voice recovered completely.

Mr Patel was very caring and put me at ease immediately. After investigations I needed an operation which was explained in detail. Mr Patel visited me before and after my surgery which was very reassuring. I had a follow up appointment which was very positive and am recovering well.

I saw Mr Patel for a thyroid tumour that required removing half my thyroid. He was kind and reassuring, and the surgery went smoothly with no issues. He gave me all the information I needed, avoided speaking in ‘jargon’ and was so reassuring. I would recommend him.

I had a large lipoma removed from my neck by Mr Patel. I can’t fault his care, I’m very pleased with everything.
