This is the second time Miss Al-Sahaf has had me as a patient and I would not hesitate to come back to her again. She is a wonderful surgeon and clearly loves her work. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me.

Miss May is amazing. She is super efficient, caring, goes above and beyond. I saw her on Tuesday, she operated on Wednesday and came to see me three times the day after the op. She came in on bank holiday to see me and called me from her holidays to check how I was doing. I can’t rate her highly enough. I don’t have the words to thank her properly.

I had been seen by quite a few consultants for my lung nodule but Miss May Al Sahaf is the only one who let me have the best experience. Firstly, she paid attention to my full condition history not just the latest medical information. Secondly, she understoodd my personal background and explained her medical advice to me in details and in the way I could understand. In the end, she clearly explained how the decision was going to be made that what the plan was going to be arranged for a further investigation. I was seen by the right expert because she explained things in great confidence and respected all of my concerns. Six star service definitely!

I was very anxious and worried about surgery, Miss Al Sahaf was very good at explaining everything and helping me to feel calm and prepare for surgery. The after care and follow up appointments were very explanatory and again calming and reassuring for me. I am very grateful for my treatment and i am recovering well.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care and expertise provided by Miss Sahaf. She exudes professionalism and compassion, taking the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the procedure and addressing all my concerns with patience and understanding.

Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident every step of the way. Not only did she exceed my expectations, but she also delivered results beyond what I had imagined.
