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!!!

Explanation

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.

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.

Explanation

Mr Nikkhah has changed my life. I don't know where to start with this! He is an absolute master of his trade, an incredibly talented surgeon and a genuinely lovely person and a true gentleman. I had an upper lid blepharoplasty on 27th Sept 2023. I had an initial consultation where everything was explained in detail (but in a way I didn't feel overwhelmed by medical terminology). I then arrived at HJE at 8.45am, was taken to theatre at 9am, some local anaesthetic was injected into my lids (a bit stingy but nothing too painful), the procedure started, we chatted all the way through, all completed in an hour, I was home by 12pm. I went to work the next day, I know I probably shouldn't have but all I had was minimal swelling and a little bruising. My full recovery was at about week 3. AMAZING! I've had so many comments about how this procedure has made me look younger, fresher, happier! For the first time in 10 years I was able to start wearing eye shadow and eyeliner. I cannot recommend Mr Nikkhah enough.

Mr Nikkhah had been recommended to me by a senior medic as someone at the top of his game and for whom nothing was too much trouble. Turned out to be exactly right. A severe case of Dupuytren contracture- painstakingly corrected.

I trained them

I work with Dariush on the Royal Free Hospital's Craniofacial MDT. I am frequently amazed by the skill and creativity demonstrated in Dariush's reconstructive work - performing complex reconstructive surgery to restore anatomy in ways that one might not even think possible. He is also the author of a highly regarded textbook in his field and on top of that a very pleasant character who has care and empathy for his patients - delighted to recommend him.
