Super doctor. Highly skilled surgeon. Great communicator. Thoroughly recommended.
5
Fantastic surgeon. Friendly, explains it all, does the procedure then and there and the job is so perfect and neat. For the lesions on my head other surgeons told me I had to shave my head and they could no remove the smaller ones - Mr Nikkhah did them all with no fuss - I didn’t even have to have my hair shaved and not even in the area of the removal plus the scars are tiny. Amazing job!!!
5
Mr Nikkah was exceptional from first consultation, he explained my options and I was able to make an informed decision based on this. Each step of the Diep Flap reconstruction was explained in detail and I felt able to face surgery with a clear mind. From the operation to leaving hospital, I saw Mr Nikkah and members from his junior team daily and was kept updated and reassured throughout my stay.
5
Very happy with treatment, explains exactly what will be done very clearly.

I had some issues with a chest wound after heart surgery. Dr Nikkah came to the rescue and fixed the problem. He is as charming, friendly and caring as he is skilful and he’s very skilful. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you for everything

Dealing with cancer is obviously extremely difficult. Mr Nikkhah has made the experience quite pleasant and has done an absolutely amazing job in terms of reconstruction. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
