Reviews
Dr. Ed is a brilliant clinician who knows how to handle a patient and very detailed
Whole team of Dr is amazing and Dr. Ed like always very welcoming, friendly and treating patients with respect.
I have been seeing Dr. Ed for many years and I couldn’t be happier with the care I have received. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and professional, but what I appreciate most is the genuine care and reassurance he provides at every appointment. He always takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and makes sure I fully understand my condition and treatment. I never feel rushed, and I always leave my appointments feeling reassured and confident that I am in very capable hands. I’m incredibly grateful to have a doctor I trust so completely. His expertise, kindness, and consistent attention to detail make such a difference, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent haematologist.

Thank you for your trust and kindness.
Dr Ashtar is well versed in his field and I feel very comfortable when he discusses my treatment and progress with his clear explanation. I have been his patient for 9 months now in Canadian Hospital but now that he moved to Kings College Hospital, I followed. That says much about my trust in him.
Thank you for your confidence snd kindness.
Amazing care
