Mr Dabbagh is an amazing clinician. He has the rare ability to make sick children listen and smile. My 5 year old son was in a lot of pain and Mr Dabbagh looked after him so well. My son George talks about him as he is his hero that saved his eye. But most importantly I need to say he is a very knowledgeable clinician with so many years of experience . We are very grateful to him for all his care and expert knowledge.

Dr Dabbagh had a patronising bed side manner. Showed us unnecessary footage on his phone of eye injections being given and was very pushy to book us in to have Botox asap. Even made my daughter cry once we were back in the waiting room by telling us that because she had already had surgery she could not have any more! Awful experience.

Since our son was 6 years old adicto Ahmad has been taken care of his squint. At the age of 9 Doctor Ahmad did surgery to rectify his squint. Our son is now 10 years old and the operation was a real success. We could not be happier and pleased. Amazing!!! We can not recommend high enough Doctor Ahmad. Thank you

Mr Dabbagh has been very friendly and caring whilst seeing our daughter (who was two when she was first his patient). He has taken the time to answer our questions and reassure us, and has advised us with her best interests in mind. Unfortunately her procedure needed to be moved a few times (due to issues outside any of our control) and he worked with us to rearrange it asap. Thank you, Mr Dabbagh!

Mr Dabbagh was extremely kind and explained everything at detail to my mum he reassured her and put her mind at rest. She was extremely worried but he explained everything until my mum understood.

We are very lucky to that our daughter has been a patient of Mr Dabbagh over the last 4 years.
