I am writing to provide a full heartfelt reference to Professor Patel, who was responsible for my care at Wellington Hospital. His professionalism , compassion, and clinical excellence made an extraordinary impact on both my recovery and my confidence during a very difficult time.. From my first interaction with him , Professor Patel demonstrated exceptional skill and a deeply caring approach . He communicated clearly, listened attentively, and always made me feel respected and supported. His calm manner and willingness to explain each stage of my treatment gave me reassurance when I needed it most . I firmly believe that Professor Patel’s expertise and commitment to my wellbeing went far beyond what I ever expected. I will always remain grateful for the outstanding care I received under his supervision. Professor Patel is an exceptional clinician and an extraordinary human being . I offer him my highest recommendation without reservation. Kind regards , Jerry P.

Professor Patel was able to remove my Gallbladder with spinal block, this option was essential for me. He was professional and helpful at every step and I will be always be grateful to him and Dr Chawla. If I need any future surgery, I would only want Professor Patel. A huge thank you Prof.....God bless you.

Prof Patel explained everything to the full, he treated me with respect and addressed any concerns. Prof Patel ensured I was at ease with my surgery before and fully explained the extent of the procedure afterwards as it was more complex.

Professor Patel put our minds at rest from the first appointment. His approach and honesty gave us complete confidence in his ability to complete the surgery safely and competently. He explained the whole procedure clearly and also explained the benefits and risks. In hospital, he was reassuring and gave an air of calm and confidence. We knew the procedure was going to be tricky but felt that we had been informed clearly about it and were very pleased with the excellent outcome. The aftercare was excellent and we felt in safe hands. Prof Patel is not just a highly competent surgeon, he is a genuinely lovely man and has a really caring and reassuring nature. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
