Mr Paul Modi

My journey started with what should have been a routine Angiogram, I was then told that it wouldn’t be sufficient to complete my arterial needs as there where to many blockages. To which I was told the only option would be open heart surgery to complete a bypass. At 43 to be given this news was Petrifying. My life felt like it wasn’t my own anymore and was in unknown waters. Not knowing which way to turn I was then referred to Paul Modi at the Spire and what seemed to me like a major risk was explained so calmly and professionally, seemingly I only needed “a bit of fancy plumbing” he reassured and put me and my family at such ease that going forward with the operation I would be safe hands. Paul’s Secretary Jodi had me booked in within 4 weeks and was very informative and sympathetic with my emotional support before theatre. When the day came of my surgery, the realisation and magnitude of what lay ahead of me became very daunting, but once again Mr Modi went through all possible scenarios and options of what to expect and once again reassured me with his fantastic personal bedside manner and confidence. I went to theatre and before anaesthetic I felt guided and relaxed by him and his team. I was to have 5 arterial grafts and 8 hours on the operating table. The recovery was impressive to say the least, all my fears off being in agonising pain had been lifted, the ICU and all the staff where one amazing family. With the pain management they put in place within the first day I was in a chair and by the afternoon they removed my chest drains. Mr Modi was on hand 24 hrs a da...

I visited Paul Modi for a post-operative mitral valve repair consultation. The repair surgery had been a complete success and I attended his clinic to check on my progress. I was delighted to hear that all of the advice imparted to me by Mr Modi and his team had paid off, and my recovery was on track. It’s been the biggest event of my entire life, and I have felt supported and guided by Mr Modi at every step. Mr Modi is an amazingly skilled surgeon, who is kind and caring, and a credit to his profession. Thank you so much.

It’s a couple of weeks since my minimally invasive mitral valve repair and I’m feeling so much better. My care throughout my stay at Spire, Didsbury was excellent. I felt supported the whole time from arrival to discharge. Mr Modi performed an amazing piece of surgery to repair my mitral valve beautifully and his care and attention before and after the surgery were above and beyond expectations. My anaesthetist Dr Lee Feddy also gave great support and instilled confidence despite a daunting procedure and checked up on me regularly post-op. The nursing team and doctors in CCU and after on ward were superb; compassionate, caring and attentive to my needs. They made a huge difference to my post-op experience and recovery, thank you. Home and recovery and healing continuing well.

We are so lucky to have found Mr Modi, he is a true luminary in heart surgery, his exceptional expertise, professionalism and his pure dedication to his patients is outstanding. He is a true Paragon who saves lives every day. Myself and my family can't thank Mr Modi enough for giving me my life back by performing off-pump multi-arterial CABGx3 using bilateral internal arteries. I had suffered a heart attack, totally out of the Blue. I considered myself as being healthy, I am an average weight, height etc. so as you can imagine this came as a shock. On first meeting Mr Modi he explained everything to myself and my wife with clarification and compassion which eased our fears, this helped us invaluably for the procedure ahead, after speaking with Mr Modi we knew we were in the best hands. The entire process was managed seamlessly. Mr Modi's meticulous expertise transformed my life, by day 2 post-surgery I did not need any pain relief, my scar is very neat and minimal. I had regular checks/visits from Mr Modi whilst in hospital, his kind caring manner was reasurring and encouraging, he is such a genuine person. I would highly recommend Mr Modi

This was a very very complex mitral valve repair which I suspect no other surgeon in the UK would have attempted, but Mr Modi was determined to give it a try to get the best possible outcome for me. From the beginning he gives you confidence in both himself and his team and the care has been excellent from start to finish, not just for the surgery itself but also the follow up - Mr Modi hasn’t missed a day to come and see me and explain exactly what’s going on. I honestly can’t praise or thank him enough for his skills and care, which have been beyond my expectations.

From the first time I met Mr Modi, I had complete confidence in him. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave very clear explanations of the risks and benefits of surgery. That confidence was subsequently confirmed with the operation proceeding very smoothly thanks to his surgical skills. He was very attentive post-operatively and on subsequent follow-up. Throughout the whole experience, his Secretary,Jodie, provided very efficient and helpful communication. I have a medical background and recognise clinical excellence when I see it. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Modi for cardiac surgery.

I had a minimally invasive LIMA CABG procedure by Mr Modi and his team at Manchester Spire. Preoperative care was very good with clear instructions on how best to prepare for the admission. Mr Modi counselled very well and I felt my consent was well informed. Postoperative care of my family I am especially grateful for: my wife received a timely call from Mr Modi. Whilst on critical care unit, Mr Modi responded promptly to the night doctor’s query and then reviewed me in the morning, explained to me the key findings, and made clear instructions to the staff. The next day, he attended me on the ward just after 7am, clinically made a diagnosis of a complication responsible for some extra pain I had, which then responded promptly to specific treatment. He then left for abroad but remained in touch daily with me and the ward staff, directing treatment and discharge. Following discharge home on day 4 post op, I received initially daily enquiries from Mr Modi on my progress and he gave timely clear instructions on how to deal with additional issues that developed whilst I was at home by promptly responding to my messages. His advice proved to be completely correct. On reflection, throughout the experience, I felt in safe hands and my family were confident that it was so indeed. The contrast between the magnitude of what happened to me and the relatively little bother I had to go through is quite remarkable. I have now a situation where my heart is getting as much blood as it needs for my body needs, I have four inconspicuous operation wounds, and, two weeks post op, have been abl...

During a routine yearly medical, my medical examiner found a strong heart murmur and he advised me to investigate the issues further. After several tests ordered by my cardiologist Dr Kalla and professor Steeds, in Birmingham , it became evident that I had severe mitral valve regurgitation. They both suggested that I should get the valve fixed between 6 months to two years and suggested I have a consultation with Mr Modi in Manchester. Mr Modi is one of the few heart surgeons who performs many minimal invasive heart procedures including robotic every year. I first met Mr Modi in September last year. Mr Modi explained everything in detail including options and outcomes to me clearly. He instantly made me feel at ease and confident about the procedure. Having felt very stressed about it all up to that point, I came away feeling very good and optimistic about the future. I really needed that and Mr Modi was the best person I could have wished for to repair my heart. I was added to Mr Modi’s list and on 30th October last year I underwent successful minimal invasive mitral valve repair surgery in Manchester. I can honestly say that Mr Modi is my hero. He gave me my life back, the outcome is excellent for the repair and Mr Modi’s surgical success rate is in the high nineties. I am absolutely thrilled with the end result. Mr Modi’s follow up care is excellent and thorough too. He will be reviewing my heart scans for a few more years to ensure all is progressing well. Mr Modi is a top rate surgeon and a very knowledgeable, friendly and kind person too. You couldn’t wish for anyone...

I cannot thank Mr Modi and his team enough for the outstanding care I received throughout my treatment and operation. I underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair, with PFO closure, under his care in July 2026. From the very beginning, the whole process was made smooth and reassuring. Mr Modi was professional, clear and confidence-inspiring, and I felt exceptionally well looked after at every stage. The pre-operative communication and preparation were excellent, which made what could have been a daunting experience feel calm and well managed. A special thank you to Jodie, Mr Modi's PA, whose professionalism, responsiveness and thoughtful communication made a real difference throughout. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and every query was handled efficiently and kindly. Most importantly, the operation was an outstanding success. My post-operative tests confirmed a complete repair, with no leak or complications. My recovery exceeded all expectations: I was walking twice on the first day after surgery, moved without pain, had no complications, and everything progressed exactly as planned. I was discharged within five days and experienced an extremely fast and painless recovery. Mr Modi is an exceptional surgeon at the very top of his field. I am immensely grateful for his expertise, precision and care, as well as the support of his whole team. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking world-class surgical care.

From my very first consultation through to my surgery and follow-up care, Mr Modi inspired complete confidence. He explained my severe mitral valve regurgitation clearly and honestly, taking the time to answer every question and ensuring both my wife and I fully understood the procedure and expected recovery. I underwent open heart mitral valve repair under his care as I was not suitable for minimal invasive surgery. Mr Modi's expertise, professionalism and calm, reassuring manner made what was naturally an anxious time much easier to face. The operation was a complete success, and my recovery has progressed remarkably well. I was also extremely impressed by the excellent teamwork of everyone involved in my care, from the nursing staff to the wider cardiac team. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Modi to anyone requiring cardiac surgery. He is an outstanding surgeon whose technical skill is matched by genuine compassion and care for his patients.
