- Mr Patani is the exact person a woman needs when going through a breast cancer diagnosis. He is professional, reassuring and welcoming. I am so lucky to have had him as my consultant and surgeon during this time.
- I had a very positive experience with Mr Patani. Mr Pantani was thorough, approachable, and explained everything in a calm and clear manner. I felt at ease throughout the appointment and appreciated the time taken to address all my concerns. The level of care and professionalism was exceptional, and I left feeling reassured and well informed. I I would highly recommend them to anyone needing expert advice and compassionate care.
- Dr Patani is very experienced and incredibly knowledgeable. Very reassuring for the patients.
- The waiting room in the Mammograppy/Ultrasound Centre needs to be better maintained (leftover cups cleared etc). Also after my Mammography I sat to wait for the reading to be checked and then was taken in for an ultrasound without anyone coming to explain what was happening next or why.
- I had an exceptional experience with Mr Patani. From the very beginning through to the end, he was incredibly supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. He kept me informed at all times, ensuring I always understood what was happening and what to expect next. His communication was clear, consistent, and very reassuring, which made a significant difference during such a difficult time. Mr Patani’s knowledge and expertise were evident throughout, and he always took the time to explain thing
- Mr Patani is absolutely amazing! He is such knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. He explains things so clearly and he is always thinking what the best option is for me as a patient. Definitely the top doctors in his field. I may need an operation and I have full faith in him to operate on me. I highly highly highly recommend him!
- Very clear in his explanations, very professional and reassuring and met all the expectations and deadlines given. I will go to his clinic again. highly recommend him.
- I have been treated by Mr. Patani for a year and a half now. From initial diagnosis, through to surgery and after care, I can only say that he has been excellent. He is informative and reiterates all relevant details in a kind and gentle manner. But the important stuff, he's an excellent surgeon, I cannot compliment him enough on the work he did for me. Considering I had a large tumor, 'in bra' I look no different. I would certainly recommend him.
