⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mr Sahih has been my surgeon for my last two surgeries, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He is kind, friendly and genuinely has my best interests at heart. He always takes the time to listen to my opinions and makes me feel heard, valued and reassured. His caring and approachable manner has made such a difference to my experience, and I feel very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon. Thank you, Mr Sahih, for your kindness, professionalism and the care you have shown me. You are truly an outstanding surgeon.

I was referred to Mr Salih after visiting an A&E department in severe and sudden pain. I explained my symptoms to Mr Salih, who listened and recommended an ultrasound which confirmed his initial thoughts of a gallstone diagnosis. After further discussion and due to the pains I was experiencing and my gallbladder being infected, we moved forward with a treatment plan for gallbladder removal. Booking the procedure was seamless and Mr Salih was approachable and easy to contact, which I really appreciated. The morning of the procedure, Mr Salih came by to talk through the procedure, reassure me and answer any questions I had which really put me at ease. The procedure went well and following a recovery period, I saw Mr Salih for a follow up appointment. We looked over my stomach and the stitches (which are lovely and neat). I really appreciate how Mr Salih not only listened to me but moved quickly for me to receive a diagnosis and then treatment plan. Mr Salih was easy to contact, very professional and very friendly. I am pleased to be over what was a scary (and very painful) time with the initial flare up of gallstones and to have received such great care from Mr Salih. Thank you for everything , Mr Salih!
