- Akash Patel has helped me greatly following a serious accident, he treated me for multiple leg injuries with outstanding care and professionalism. He has offered clear, thoughtful advice, unwavering support, and always took the time to listen. What truly stood out was his genuine concern, consideration, and empathy. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I always felt confident I was in safe hands. His secretary is also very fast with communication!
- Initially I was seen by dr Akash Patel at King’s Oak Hospital and then continued my treatment at Chase Farm Hospital when I had my surgery in December 2025. I’m very happy with how it went and i couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon. Very professional, knowledgeable, very thorough.
- On my initial appointment Mr Patel fully explained my options and the expected outcomes. I was very pleased with my successful operation the aftercare, physio and follow up appointments received. I feel that on long term outlook this operation will make a massive difference to my mobility and to my quality of life. Thank you Mr Patel.
- Mr Akash Patel was excellent. Great surgeon that delivered an ACL reconstruction and Meniscus repair perfectly. Friendly, approachable with high level talent. He has now put me in a better position to have a more solid knee, which makes day to day life smoother
