General Surgery
Professor Patel is a very organised and well respected colleague who takes care to discuss all of his patients individually within a multi-disciplinary team meeting. In doing so he achieves the best outcomes on an individually tailored basis. He is an excellent surgeon and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him
