About Dr Chetan Patel Plastic Surgeon Hurlingham

Dr Patel earned his MBBCh, FC Plast Surg (SA), and MMed (Wits). He completed undergraduate studies at WITS University in 2000, then received his Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from the College of Surgeons of South Africa in 2009. He earned his Masters in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in May 2013. He also trained on the WITS Academic circuit and refined his surgical skills.

His passion for hand surgery grew over the last eight years. As a result, he developed expertise in trauma hand surgery for accidents and work-related injuries. He also worked with Dr Roger Nicholson to improve his elective hand surgery skills. Through this work, he gained experience with nerve compression syndromes, congenital hand problems, and arthritis-related conditions.
