I cannot thank Professor Kuntal Patel enough for the exceptional care and expertise he provided during my recent hip replacement surgery. From my first consultation through to the operation and recovery, I felt completely confident that I was in the best possible hands. His skill, professionalism, and reassuring manner made the whole experience far easier than I expected. Thanks to the successful surgery, I'm already enjoying a much better quality of life and getting back to doing the things I love. I would highly recommend Professor Kuntal Patel to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. My sincere thanks to Professor Patel and his wonderful team.
Professor Patel was extremely pleasant and explained things clearly. He had a lovey manner and made me feel at ease.
Seen a few minutes before my appointment time. Came away with a clear Plan A and other options if things deteriorate. Left feeling reassured with all my queries answered.
Very polite gentleman explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. He said that my outcome was now down to me and physiotherapy.
Professor Patel is very professional but down to earth. Explains everything so you can understand. Very good bedside manner. Overall a very nice gentleman who puts you at ease.
Knee Replacement surgery very successful, very happy with the results. Professional, total confidence in Mr Patel and his team
Professor Patel epitomizes professionalism. He has full empathy and understanding of his patients, doesn't 'rush you through' at any stage of contact; be it the first consultation, during operation day, to the following aftercare appointments. I have undergone knee surgery and a full hip replacement, 11 years apart, performed by this wonderful man. It is no overstatement to comment that his skill has changed my life. I am forever grateful. I most highly recommend him 100% Thank you.
Professor Patel performed a partial knee replacement on me in September 2024. I was out of the hospital in a couple of days and have made a fantastic recovery. By the time I completed my physio in January 2025, I was able to bend my knee 120 degrees and I was back walking my dog 5 to 6 miles each day. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would not hesitate to recommend Professor Patel.
