Explanation

I found Mr N Patel to be very informative, who explained every step of my assessment and ultimately my spinal operation, throughout my time with him. He was very approachable, who when I had any questions or concerns, was very professional in his responses, as such to be able to reassure me or put mind mind at ease. Compared to other Surgeons who I have had experiences with, I also found him to be be very down to earth, which made my whole experience far easier to deal with, as it was like dealing with a individual who had known me for some time.

Explanation

Throughout the lead up to surgery Mr Patel explained to me in simple terms the options and possible outcomes. His comments were realistic and without undue optimism stressing that the main objective was to prevent further deterioration. In the event and six months after the operation I have experienced very significant improvement in my movement and sensitivity enabling me to carry out quite intricate tasks. Far beyond my anticipation. I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Patel to anyone in need of neurosurgery.
