Incredibly caring and actually invested in helping patients
The endoscopy process is not one I look forward to but Dr Rahman and the team at 1 Welbeck were great and really ensured that the experience was comfortable for me. Results were presented promptly and I was able to discuss with Dr Rahman. Highly recommend.
Experience so far has been impeccable, Dr Rahman is attentive and has been assessing my health concerns with professionalism and care.
Dr Rahman ensured that the entire process on the day was as unobtrusive as could be and I felt in very capable hands throughout
Dr Rahman took time to explain everything before the procedure and was very reassuring.
I was referred to Mr. Rahman by a surgeon that will be reconnecting my small intestine to my large intestine. Due to the severity of my case (starting out as an emergency and ICU patient), I needed some additional support and medical intervention to help me live and also prepare for a successful surgery. This means short term TPN treatment, at home PN treatment, management of hydration, electrolytes, etc. As soon as I met Mr. Rahman, I knew I was going to be well taken care of - I had been discharged from a hospital with little to no guidance and a lot of fear and with the assistance of Mr. Rahman I made it through some of the most difficult times (and continue to do so). Mr Rahman is confident in his statements, knowledgeable in his field, and also completely transparent. I appreciated the directness, the collaboration and his willingness to listen to me, answer my questions and not rush through appointments. Since having Dr. Rahman on my medical team, my husband and I have been able to share the weight of our fears. I would highly recommend Dr. Rahman.
Dr Rahman is an excellent consultant with a very professional bed side manner, kind and caring.
Dr Rahman has been amazing throughout my treatment. He is always patient, empathetic, kind and willing to answer any questions.
My experience with Dr Rahman was excellent. I felt in safe hands and very much appreciated him taking the time to explain everything to me.
Dr Rahman is not only knowledgeable but takes the time to really listen to your concerns and address each one appropriately. I've seen him on and off for over 5+ years and have felt heard & cared for each time - he's sure to explain things and is very thorough in his approach to medicine.
