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 was treated with great respect and Mr Rashid was a true gentleman and was very understanding of my feelings. I could not have been treated more professionally.
Everything about the whole experience was faultless. Dr Explained everything, Nurses were great. Every professional involved explained everything before it happened. Everyone was friendly and polite. I was checked on regularly afterwards, the operation went great . Mr Rashid and the whole team at spire were brilliant. Never been treated that well in a hospital before. Thanks so much to everyone involved
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!

Dear Patient, thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad that you feel better. We hope you enjoy your holiday.

I felt safe and confident, in the hands of an expert

Thank you.
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.

Thank you for your kind feedback.
Mr Rashid inspired confidence in me from our first consultation. His explanation of every aspect was clear and detailed. Every appointment has been relaxed with great dialogue and friendly conversation. My faith in his skills has been rewarded with the best outcome I could have hoped for. Thankyou
