I was booked in to have a abdominalplasty with Mr Omar Ahmed and his team at Spire Washington. From the moment I entered the hospital everything was fantastic from the staff to the food. The procedure and recovery was explained to me in detail so I knew exactly what to expect. I was put at ease by my consultant and staff from the onset. After my operation I was looked after impeccably by every member of staff. Before I was discharged I was given all the information I needed to continue my ongoing care at home also with the support of the team as they were only at the end of the phone. My experience was faultless and would strongly recommend Mr Omar and Spire Hospital.

Mr Ahmed was very professional and friendly, he gave valuable advice to help with my condition. He explained the treatment and took into consideration my concerns. There were 2 young doctors with him and he talked through the process to them which hopefully help them with patient's in the future.

Mr Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and approachable with a clear dedication for his field. I have suffered with facial palsy for many years, since a tumour resection and I feel very lucky that Mr Ahmed is my consultant for this. Today’s visit was no different and I came away feeling listened to and understood. He is constantly looking for new ways to help and you can tell that this is important to him.

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.
