Very pleasant man who discussed my problems and then included me in the plan for my future care. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Dr Issa was very professional, open and transparent about my need to lose weight an what the treatment he recommended would (and would not achieve) based on his experience as well as the likely and more common side-effects before starting
On time, very friendly and knowledgeable + willing to answer any questions

I recently attended an appointment at the Alexandra Hospital and wanted to share how impressed I was with the care I received from Dr Basil Issa. From the moment the consultation began, he demonstrated a level of professionalism, clarity, and compassion that immediately put me at ease. Dr Issa took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, without ever feeling rushed. He listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure I felt fully informed about the next steps. His calm, reassuring manner made a real difference, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing. It’s rare to come across a clinician who combines expertise with such a personable approach, and I left the appointment feeling confident, supported, and grateful.
Dr B. Issa gave me an in depth explanation of my issues and symptoms and also took time to answer all my questions leaving me fully aware of what to expect next. He alleviated some worries i had and helped me understand to a greater knowledge things relevant to me. A kind Dr whom I am glad I sought, thank you
Dr Issa was as always clear and explained my current results and next steps clearly and with empathy.
