My experience for my procedure was one of the most outstanding experiences I have encountered during my life. All staff were very clear and concise from start to finish. The treatment and care from all staff was excellent. All staff were very professional and treat me with respect and care throughout the whole process. This includes the receptionist right through to the surgeon.

3 month review after my surgery. No issues and was seen before my actual appointment time!
Superb treatment and advice received from Mr Ahmed, cannot fault him he is a genius!
Twelve months ago, I underwent surgery following a fall that caused a bleed on the brain and significant damage to the nerves on the left side of my face. The nerves had realigned incorrectly during recovery, leaving me with a noticeably crooked appearance and difficulty with facial expression. After several consultations with Mr Ahmed, we agreed on a surgical plan to remove and correct some of the affected nerves to help restore my facial symmetry, expression, and smile. One year on, the progress has been remarkable. The improvements in my facial movement and overall confidence have been significant. I saw Mr Ahmed again today, and he took the time to review my progress in detail. He explained the positive changes achieved so far and arranged to see me again in six months to assess further development from ongoing physiotherapy. At that point, we will discuss whether any additional treatment, surgery, or support may be beneficial. I am extremely grateful to Mr Ahmed for his expertise, guidance, and the results I have achieved to date. His support throughout this journey has been invaluable, and I truly appreciate the care he has provided.
Mr Ahmed, is one of the most kind caring consultant i have had. He has done alot for myself. Thank you
