- It was a pleasure to be seen by such a welcoming & friendly doctor. He took the time to listen to my concerns, rather than just push his professional ’ opinion on me ( that a rarity these days) and you felt like you had his attention as well as his time. My only negative is , i wish we had more doctors like him.

- I have been so pleased with my experience of surgery by Dr Shilen Patel. At the first consultation he explained very clearly and in detail what my operation would entail and the possible risks, but without scaring me. This gave me a lot of confidence for the day of the operation, and the surgery went very well. When dressings were removed 10 days after my operation I was really surprised to see how neat the wound was, and it was healing nicely. I had very little pain, and Mr Patel explained toDoctor's response -I am thrilled to hear about your progress! While I performed the procedure, your dedication to your recovery is what truly made the difference

- I’ve been seeing Mr Shilen Patel for around 10 months for ongoing TMJ and lockjaw issues. From my first appointment, he was kind, knowledgeable, and took time to listen and explain everything clearly. He arranged MRI and CT scans and discussed all treatment options. After trying conservative treatments, I had surgery in November. One month on, his follow-up care and support have been excellent. I’d highly recommend him to anyone struggling with TMJ!Doctor's response -Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s always rewarding to know that our patients feel well cared for and supported. We’re delighted to hear you had a positive experience and look forward to seeing you again in the future.
