- I would like to sincerely thank Dr Akash Patel for my knee surgery. Despite my anxiety, everything was carried out at the highest level — from the anaesthesia and the procedure to the rehabilitation and follow-up care. Dr Patel is a highly qualified, attentive, and kind specialist. I truly appreciate his professionalism and support. I fully trust him and would be happy for him to perform my future surgery. Thank you very much!
- I am very pleased to be under the care of Mr Akash Patel. He understands fully my condition, my desire to get better as soon as possible, and clearly outlines the options open to me.
- Although I don’t believe it was Dr Patel’s fault, the waiting time at clinic 14 is very unpredictable and can be a very long weight for an appointment. Otherwise, couldn’t recommend Dr Patel enough to anyone who may need his services.
- The process was very efficient and I felt very well supported by staff and Mr Patel. My only concern was lack of physio support, not in the hospital but in the initial outpatient appointment. There was a lack of emphasis on elevation and support with this of the affected leg and the importance of the benefits. Post 6 week consultation was reassuring and positive, mr Patel was very professional and his supportive explanations were excellent.
