Many report amazing and excellent results from surgery, praising Mr Rashid's skill and thorough follow-up care. High satisfaction is noted regarding abdominoplasty and skin lesion removal.
I had my final consultation with Mr Rashid today and I can’t tell you how delighted I am with my results. The process with him from start to finish has been exceptional and I feel very lucky to have found him as my surgeon. He takes his time to understand what you are trying to achieve with the surgery and listens intently before explaining his approach, the risks involved and the expected outcome. I felt that I was in incredibly safe hands and that he truly cares about his patients. My expectations have been exceeded and I would have no hestitation in recommended Mr Rashid - his manner, experience and professionalism are second to none.
I am most grateful for your kind words.
Mr Rashid seen me for my post op review. He was professional and very polite. His review was detailed and thorough.
Many thanks for your kind words.
I had a breast uplift performed which was needed after significant weight loss. Mr Rashid explained everything well and managed expectations. I was booked in quickly, the procedure went well and I am very happy with the results.
I am extremely grateful for your comments.
Mr Rashid is a very attentive and personable professional, with excellent knowledge in his field and sets realistic expectations. He provided all relevant information throughout my journey for FDL Tummy tuck, what was achievable and ensured I was not only informed but involved in decisions around my health/surgery. I had a common complication post surgery - an infection/fat necrosis which a nurse picked up on a check-up. Mr Rashid was finishing his shift up at a local hospital and made the effort to come and check on me at the nurse clinic, provided drainage of fluid and completed a small procedure to address the necrosis on the day. This was very much appreciative and demonstrates his commitment to his patients. I have now been discharged from Mr Rashids care and I am very happy with results and would recommend him as a surgeon.
I am ever so grateful for your kind words and patience.
Very professional and helpful.
Many thanks for your comments.
very professional, made to feel relaxed and comfortable
Many thanks for your kind words.
My overall experience with Dr Rashid has been excellent. Results of surgery are fantastic at 6 weeks post op. It has changed my views about myself giving me a more positive mindset. For aftercare advice I did have a situation where telephone staff did advise that I would have to pay Consultation fee to have a follow up call with Dr Rashid which was 1 week post op. Advice possibly needs strengthened to staff having these phone calls and possibly to patients that these follow up contacts are available at any time if in doubt of any problems. Otherwise treatment and care personally with Dr Rashid was amazing and I fully recommend any future clients of the excellent service.
I am ever so grateful for your kind words
He treated myself and my father with the greatest respect
