Dr Kasem performed my surgery in February 2026. I cannot begin to thank him enough for what an amazing job he has done. Everything was explained to me well beforehand with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The day of the surgery went smoothly and the operation went very well. I was told by the nursing staff that Dr Kasem is a perfectionist so I would be in there until he was happy. I was cared for extremely well by the staff at Chelsfield who are all so lovely. They also all spoke very highly of Dr Kasem and he had a good rapport with everyone there. After my operation, I had an appointment a week later with Dr Kasem. Unfortunately I had delayed healing in my t section, which is normal, but I cannot fault the care that was given to me. For several weeks after my operation I was attending the hospital twice a week for dressing changes and Dr Kasem made sure he saw me for the vast majority of these visits. The only times he didn’t see me was because of the issues Chelsfield hospital were having, meaning I attended the Sloane hospital for quite a few of my dressing changes. Having him make the effort to see me and keep an eye on my healing was very reassuring and put my mind at ease that everything would be ok. I have now been signed off and I am so happy with my results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Kasem to anyone wanting breast surgery. Thank you Dr Kasem. You have changed my life.

I’ve been seeing Mr Kasem for several years now and he has been consistently excellent. He is incredibly understanding, patient, and always takes the time to listen and explain things clearly. I also had surgery under his care, and throughout the entire process he made sure I was fully informed and kept up to date at every stage, which was very reassuring. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive consultant.

I visited Mr Kasem last week because I was worried about a small lump I had felt under my arm. Mr Kasem put me at ease straight away, like he always does, he sat me down and went through my medical history first with me and then he examined me thoroughly. He then sent me for an ultrasound. Thankfully all was ok but Mr Kasem always makes me feel that I am not being a nuisance and encourages me to contact him if I am worried about anything. Mr Kasem is such a kind man, who I have the utmost respect for and I owe so much to him, as he saved my life three years ago. I always feel comfortable and relaxed in his company and I am beyond grateful that he has looked after me. Thank you Mr Kasem from the bottom of my heart. Lorraine L
