- This consultant is absolutely amazing. I have never felt in safer hands. Incredibly informative, totally understanding of my situation. I really hate top expert treatment. I have and would recommend him and his team to anyone.
- Very professional and reassuring, he really put my mind at ease.
- An exceptional doctor; very patient, transparent and communicative. Very thankful for Dr Patani and his medical stuff
- As time goes by, my gratitude to Dr Patani increases as I begin to appreciate how crucial it is for a patient to have an excellent surgeon with amazing skills in the first place. Thanks to his impressive experience, 14 months down the line, I have recovered extremely well and, most vitally important to me, there are no signs of recurrence of the lump. I am also grateful for his empathy, kindness and great care in recommending the most experienced nurse in his team for a painless mammogram.
- I had an excellent experience at HCA Healthcare, and I would highly recommend their services. From the moment I arrived, the team was professional, efficient, and genuinely caring. I would especially like to recognise my consultant, Mr Niall Patani. He was outstanding throughout my care — approachable, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions.
- Lovely to see Mr Patani for my annual check-up. He was kind and attentive as always and answered all my questions in detail and in a kindly manner. All staff were great, waiting time was longer for visit in the ultra sound department but they were very busy dealing with patients before me.
- I've been under Mr. Patani's care for just over two years, after a private screening raised a concern. Mr. Patani has been thorough, sympathetic and professional throughout, always taking care to answer any questions or address concerns. The staff are all very lovely as well, and made stressful situations more manageable.
- Highly recommend mr patani and his team for anyone going through breast cancer treatment, either as a private patient or for additional advice/help if you are going through the nhs treatment program
- Every detail is taken into account. I want to give a shout out to the radiologist doctor I had as she was so through and caring .
- I saw Dr Patani a few times. In my case, I had a couple of follow up visits. It was prompt each time and matters were explained to me clearly including next steps and what to look out for. The facilities are modern and good too.
