About Mr Amit Patel

Mr Amit Patel is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon based in the West Midlands, specialising in cataract, corneal and refractive (lens and laser) eye surgery. He practices both privately and within the NHS, holding a consultant post at the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, where he leads the Cataract and Corneal Service and was responsible for establishing corneal transplant surgery at the Trust following his appointment in 2011.

Mr Patel graduated from the University of Wales College of Medicine in 1999 before completing his postgraduate ophthalmic training at leading teaching centres in Wales, Yorkshire and London. He was awarded the prestigious Pfizer Ophthalmic Fellowship Award by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, enabling him to pursue advanced subspecialty training in corneal transplantation and laser refractive surgery with world-renowned surgeons in Italy and at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.

His specialist interests include customised cataract surgery and lamellar corneal transplantation, and he has developed extensive expertise in complex corneal and cataract surgery, external eye disease, and refractive procedures.

Mr Patel has published numerous book chapters and peer-reviewed papers, and his work has been presented widely at national and international scientific meetings, where he has also been invited to speak. 

In addition to his NHS role, Mr Patel runs private clinics at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull and Nuffield Warwickshire Hospital in Leamington Spa.

Dr Amit Patel treated my dad and I can’t put into words how fantastic both Dr Patel and his wonderful team were with my dad! From start to finish, each and every single one of the team and staff at the hospital were so kind, considerate and thoughtful. It really made my dad relax who was nervous for the appointment. The follow up care has also been great and they are always on hand to answer any questions. Thank you so much for looking after my dad so well! Could not recommend them enough!

My dad underwent cataract surgery on Friday 16th October 2026, and his vision has improved significantly following the procedure. A huge thank you to Mr Patel. This is the second procedure Mr Patel has performed on my dad and again it was very successful. The thorough examinations and clear explanations of the procedure’s risks and benefits provided reassurance and helped my dad feel fully informed throughout. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Patel Chrissy P.

Mr Patel was very clear in his explanations, and I felt straightaway that I was in very good hands. His calm and understanding manner made me feel less anxious about the operations and I'm very very happy with the end result of being able to see so clearly. Assistant Mel was also very helpful, friendly and approachable. I can highly recommend Mr Patel for cataract surgery!
