Reviews

Gastroenterology
Dr Sami is a brilliant gastroenterologist with amazing skills, bed side manners and communication skills. I would certainly recommend him to all my family, friends and patients should they have any bowel related issues.
Dr Sarmed is an outstanding gastroenterologist with whom it has been a pleasure and an education to share patient care. Those I have referred to him for endoscopy and other matters affecting oesophagus and stomach have commented on his compassionate and sensitive style, efficiency and careful, understandable explanations of his findings. I will continue to discuss difficult patient problems with him and refer to him those who need an endoscopy.
Sarmed is an excellent gastroenterologist with a wealth of experience and my go to gasteroenterologist. I recommend hinm highly
Dr. Sami has exemplary clinical skills and his patients speak very highly of his care and consideration during procedures and consultations. I regularly recommend Dr. Sami to my patients and within my network.
