I recently had a gastric bypass done by Mr Charef Raslan in whiston hospital everything went fantastic and I couldn't be more happier thank you 😊
Met with a smile and made to feel good about my progress, I understood everything that was said to me and asked if I had any questions which I didnt as Mr €aRaslan covered everything.
I cannot thank Mr Raslan enough, from the care during my operation to the aftercare. I recently had a telephone consultation with Mr Raslan and he was fabulous, informative, kind and helpful.
I cannot thank Dr. Raslan enough for the exceptional care I received during my Gallbladder removal surgery. He took the time to explain the procedure and recovery process in detail. I did have a bad gallbladder attack the night before and was told the surgery might have to be postponed but proper investigations took place to make sure it was safe to go ahead with the removal. My safety came first to Dr Raslan. Luckily the surgery was able to go ahead and was a success! My recovery has been incredibly smooth. The entire clinic team was professional, kind, and supportive throughout. I highly recommend Dr. Raslan to anyone needing this surgery!
First time i,ve ever had an operation,i was very nervous. Mr Raslan spoke to me before my operation explaining what was going to happen,he put me completely at ease,so profesional and a true gentleman. After the op Mr Raslan came to see how i was, i must admit i felt great, no pain. I would like to thank Mr Raslan and his team who were brilliant and took care of me through the operation and after on the ward Thanks to you all
I had a follow up appointment after a hernia repair and fundoplication operation. The operation has changed my life. I can now eat and drink normally and without any reflux or discomfort. Mr Raslan explained everything clearly. I really couldn't have asked for anything better.
My overall experience was good. Despite a rather difficult time in ICU. The staff who dealt with me there were kind and caring. My time in the surgical ward was much more pleasant and the staffs bedside manner was excellent and made me feel comfortable and at ease.. What would happen next and in the near future was explained clearly and easy to understand. To conclude this was my first major surgery and my first time in ICU. Hopefully my experience especially in ICU will make me cope and understand better if i return in the future.
Following quite a negative experience with the doctor I was an inpatient with at Whiston for a planned Surgery, On the day of my surgery I was introduced to Mr Raslan, who had reviewed my case and completed my surgery. He was very clear in his communications and his patience and bedside manner was excellent. I cannot thank him enough. I saw him at St Helens outpatients on Monday 26th January to review my recovery from surgery, once again Nr Raslan was very informative and supportive answering all my questions prior to discharging me and offering me access to his secretary contact details if I required any further support. Accessing any of my post operative notes at my review worried and concerned me as they had not been updated to the nhs system therefore a couple of my questions to confirm what surgery I had undergone was not available!
Dr Raslan was very informative pre-op and post op, his manner puts you at ease and I am delighted with the outcome of my operation.
Mr Raslan is a trusted and valued colleague in my NHS practice. He has been supportive and skilled in assisting me with patients more akin to his sub specialists interests and I would have no hesitations recommending him to family and friends.
