Explanation

I spent 11 years with an NHS specialist being misdiagnosed for microscopic colitis, I was taking steroids 3 times a day with little or no affect. My NHS consultant continually put me through colonoscopys and blood tests but always getting the same results with no new treatment options. It had gotten to the point where my condition was severely impacting my daily life. I then chose to go private and used Doctify to find Dr Rahman, I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. I started seeing Dr Rahman in early summer 2019, he really listened to my symptoms and what I had to say and reassured me that he will explore all avenues to get to the right answer. Dr Rahman tried a number of things, including Colonoscopy, and eventually we decided to try bile acid medication as the symptoms were similar - within 6 weeks my symptoms had completely gone! It turns out I had been misdiagnosed for 11 years and in 6 weeks Dr Rahman found it, it’s now over 6 months later and I still have no symptoms. It really has been life changing and I couldn’t be more grateful.

A 100% recommendation. I went for a Consultation with Dr Rahman who diagnosed SIBO. He is a superb Doctor, very knowledgeable, down to earth and approachable. I could not have done without his help and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with gut problems.

I had heard from other people's experiences of having a colonoscopy that the procedure was very uncomfortable. However for me, this was not the case. Dr Rahman ensured that I was comfortable throughout, and the process was not painful (despite having been warned that due to having a smaller frame, it may have been uncomfortable at certain parts of the procedure). I would highly recommend Dr Rahman due to his obvious expertise in this area and professionalism throughout.

Explanation

I visited Dr Rahman on my wife's recommendation, as I had a change in bowel habits, and a lot of gas and stomach bloating. I honestly could not have been happier with the service I received from him. From the outset he was extremely helpful and kind, listening to all of my worries and answering any questions I had. He then recommended a series of tests, including a colonoscopy, which he skilfully carried out himself. I can't say I wasn't worried about having it done, but I definitely needn't have been as Dr Rahman was very professional and I barely felt a thing. I came away from my consultations with him feeling much better, and with a clear view on what I needed to do to improve my symptoms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

During my recent bout of treatment Dr. Rahman was professional, empathetic and patient. Dr. Rahman took the time to walk me through the condition I had, the intervention that I would undergo and the treatment plan. On the actual day of the treatment, Dr. Rahman and his team made me feel comfortable whilst helping to allay my treatment anxiety. Even during the procedure (Endoscopy), Dr. Rahman's bed side manner was commendable - Dr. Rahman continued to communicate with me throughout, which was reassuring given the unpleasant nature of the endoscopic procedure. The aftercare was excellent and Dr. Rahman personally ensured I was lucid and in a fit state prior to my discharge. All in all, I cannot thank Dr. Rahman and his team enough for the excellent quality of care I received.

Dr Rahman has treated my IBD (Ulcerative Colitis) for about the last ten years now and I don't think I could be in better hands. He is the ultimate professional but has a reassuring and personable approach. I would highly recommend him.

We experience a warm welcome whenever I take my husband to consult with Dr Rahman. He patiently listens and always offers good and sensible advice. I always look forward to seeing him! He also makes himself available for us to reach him even when we're outside the country. He is compassionate and kind. He is a professional to the core. As I am also a doctor belonging to the "old school " I relate very well with Dr Rahman as a physician who still upholds the Hippocratic Oath.Dr Rahman is the best!!!
