Had a very good experience with Mr Rashid. I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and he explained everything very well and in detail , didn’t rush me at all, and was very understanding when I explained that I was very nervous! Would highly recommend!

I would thoroughly recommend Mr Rashid. I saw him at the first consultation, day of surgery and a fortnight after Each time he was helpful and informative, his description of what was needed and what would be done was clearly explained and was happy to answer any questions, after which I was very confident and happy to go ahead with the procedure. I had a tight timescale and he was able to fit me in, and complete my surgery in time for a pre arranged flight. I would also say his secretary, Lilian, was extremely efficient and helpful, sometimes answering my emails out of hours!

Mr Rashid was fantastic. He explained the procedure clearly, answered all of my questions and was really reassuring throughout. The after care given including a post-op visit to discuss how the procedure went as well as a post-op consultation to check the wound sites and results were very much appreciated. I have no qualms in recommending him as a surgeon.
