His clinical practice focuses on achieving the best possible cancer outcomes while safely maximising breast conservation. By combining precise breast cancer surgery with advanced oncoplastic surgical techniques, he aims to preserve or restore breast shape and appearance whenever appropriate.

Mr Patel offers the full spectrum of modern breast surgery and oncoplastic procedures, including:

  • Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy and wide
    local excision)
  • Therapeutic mammoplasty
  • Chest wall perforator flap reconstruction
  • Skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomy
  • Immediate implant-based breast reconstruction
  • Delayed breast reconstruction
  • Revisional and corrective surgery following
    breast cancer treatment

He also provides expert assessment and management for patients with a strong family history of breast cancer or an increased inherited risk. This includes comprehensive genetic and family history risk evaluation, surveillance planning, and risk-reducing breast surgery where appropriate.

Working within a specialist multidisciplinary breast cancer team, Mr Patel delivers comprehensive care throughout every stage of diagnosis, surgery, treatment and recovery. He works closely with radiologists, oncologists, breast care nurses and reconstructive specialists to ensure each patient receives an individualised treatment plan tailored to their medical needs, lifestyle and personal preferences.

Quite a wait for the appointment, which was a little worrying because of time in the carpark. However the time with Dr Patel was extremely helpful, reassuring and positive.

I had surgery for breast cancer at Stroud Hospital. Mr Patel was courteous and professional. He took time to fully explain the procedure. My overall feeling was one of great reassurance.

I was referred by my GP with a breast lump. Mr Patel asked me for background information and how I had discovered it. He examined me and then said there was a lump which needed investigation that sfternoon. He explained the possible outcomes and the need for a biopsy. I then had a mammogram and an ultrasound investigation … the clinician explained every step of the ultrasound examination and also performed a biopsy. She confirmed the presence of abnormal tissue and how the biopsy would reveal what it was. My visit concluded with Mr Patel explaining the next stages of the dignosis. I found evey stage of this appointment calm, professional and I understood what was happening and why and everyone I had contact with provided a positive and considerate environment. I left with an appointment to return for the results which is very helpful for managing the two week wait for the biopsyresult. Having clear factual explanation of potentially bad news could not have been done better
