- My husband and I have three words that we use to describe Professor Patel and they are 'simply the best'. From our first consultation to the last one Professor Patel was exactly the same at each one. We were always greeted with a lovely smile, friendly demeanour and he was happy to answer any questions we put to him as well as him informing us of what he would be doing with regard to my knee replacement. What a kind and gentle man he is we are so fortunate to have him and he is very special.
- Professor Patel was very friendly and professional both before and after my hip replacement. My scar is very neat and he gave me reassurance at my 6 week appointment that I was progressing well.
- Excellent as usual. We have benefitted from his care for my wife's replacement hip and recovery from a broken leg a few years ago. The acknowledgement of his skill and expertise with two professorships, have not changed his down to earth and friendly manner
- Professor Patel explains things very clearly and listens well to any questions. He exudes excellence in his manner and attention. I felt completely safe and confident in his ability. It was my first operation and am very thankful I chose him on a recommendation from a friend.
- Just brilliant service from start to finish. What a lovely gentleman Professor Patel is and someone who actually listens to me
- Bedside manner…not applicable All went well and everything was explained clearly during the whole of my visit
- Professor Patel was informative , friendly & empathetic as in the past with my previous surgeries
- My experience was first class from start to finish. Professor Patel was amazing, totally professional and made me feel totally relaxed and confident throughout my hip replacement procedure. I am really happy with my outcome. My whole stay at the Lancaster hospital was first clas.
- I had an arthroscopy on my right knee performed by Professor Patel, and the entire experience was excellent. The procedure was smooth, quick, and handled with the utmost professionalism. I felt completely confident in his care, and the recovery has been going really well.
