Professor Khan was great at explaining everything and I had confidence in his skill. I've made a quick recovery from surgery and I'm very grateful for the results.

The level of care and attention that I received has been exemplary. I was very fortunate having been operated on by such a skilled and experienced surgeon.

Initial consultation & procedures were dealt with well & quite quick. However, I then had to chase for a follow up, as there was still no reason identified for my diagnosis. The secretary is difficult to get hold, often no replies to emails, so followed up through Spire secretaries. Eventually got a telephone appt, but didn't get called, was then told I should have gone in-person. Next appt cancelled at short notice. Re-schedule appt the Professor didn't turn up, was then told clinic was cancelled, but had no notification, so resulted in a wasted journey. Not sure if I can now be bothered with the hassle to follow up on my health issues!

Consultation was okay, although I assumed due to my symptoms and explanation of issues an examination may of been conducted. It was not. I was told that I would be referred back to my GP and a prescription would be sent to my pharmacy. Neither of which has been done to my knowledge as I have heard nothing back. All in all a feel a poor service and waste of money.

My impression is that he is more of an academic than a clinician. He made a diagnosis and recommended a course of surgical treatment, which later he changed without informing me, settling on a simpler procedure he is perhaps more comfortable with than the one discussed and much needed, which would have meant unnecessary costs and non relevant treatment..

It was ok, but its 7 days since I have seen him and no follow up letter received yet. Also he didn't have my scan results. Secretary said she had problems getting them . But I was only told 3 hrs before the appt. Not impressed with the slowness of letter from seeing him 7 days ago.
