Extremely charming and kind man
It was such a pleasure to meet Mr.Rashid last night, an extremely charming and kind man. I thought the premises exceptional and was so grateful for such amazing attention and efficiency. To have an injection too on the spot was incredible.
Jane de Savary
Friendly and purposeful demeanor
Mr Abbas was solicitous, optimistic and realistic. His warnings about the general debility of the first few months were accurate and reassuring and the symptoms vanished exactly as he told me they would. He is a surgeon with a calm, friendly and purposeful demeanor. I recommend him very strongly indeed.

A big thank-you to you!
Mr Rashid has always been helpful and really goes the extra mile to check on his patients’ wellbeing, helping to arrange appointments, making a full and thorough assessment and exploring all options of treatment. What I value the most is that Mr Rashid is very approachable and genuinely listens to his patients, taking the time to explain what is happening at each stage.
