After graduation from Oxford University, Ms Patel has trained extensively with UK and International leaders in Breast Oncoplastic and Reconstructive surgery. Prior to appointment in Milton Keynes, she completed a prestigious, highly competitive National Oncoplastic TIG fellowship working alongside Breast and Plastic surgeons in several units to embrace the latest techniques in Breast surgery. She offers all options for cancer surgery, working alongside highly experienced multiple speciality professionals to provide a truly tailored approach to your treatment.
Ms Patel has worked alongside internationally respected surgeons, in order to train in all aspects of oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery including therapeutic mammaplasty, skin sparing mastectomy for implant and flap reconstruction, breast reductions/mastopexies, nipple reconstruction and areolar tattooing. She also took on a key organisational role for the regional risk reducing mastectomy multidisciplinary meeting, which brought together geneticists, psychologists, oncologists, surgeons and breast reconstruction nurses to allow comprehensive assessment and acceptable options for ladies with high risk of developing breast cancer.
She offers holistic assessment to discover your personal requirements and ensure that psychologically and physically, as well as oncologically, you receive the best possible care. She believes in constantly pushing the limits of what can be achieved with modern methods and technology and collaborates with industry and colleagues to safely bring this to her patients.
