Mr Kassam is very kind and caring. He responded to me late at night when I reached out and took the time to explain my case, which I found really reassuring. He also did his best to arrange a video consultation as soon as possible to prioritise my emergency case.

I’m at the end of week one after my TMJ surgery, and I honestly feel so much better than I expected! Recovery has gone really well, and I’m already eating a burger. I couldn’t be happier with my progress and would highly recommend the team for their care and expertise.

Excellent. Mr Kassam's clinical wisdom, professionalism and empathy shone through. We are so happy that I am alive thanks to his diagnosis and carefully-designed treatment plan that avoided invasive surgery. He had opted for radiotherapy in order to preserve my future quality of life. He's very open and honest and truly a master of his field.

Great experience. I recently completed three wisdom teeth extractions with Dr Kassam, I would recommend him 100 times over. No issues with after care and no pain at all. I visited him on week two of my recovery to check all was okay which it was

Great service start to finish, managed to fit me in on short notice with no problem. Very comforting and reassuring mannerisms, made me feel extremely at ease. Regular, easy & direct contact with Mr Kassam, again, from start to finish. Would recommend!
