He provides clear explanations of conditions and treatment options, including surgical procedures, putting patients at ease. Patients value the comprehensive information provided, excellent care, and efficient service from initial consultation to aftercare. Prominent themes among his patients include excellent outcomes for bladder disorders and circumcision.
I was extremely impressed by Mr Alhasso’s professionalism, efficiency and reassuring manner . After noticing blood in my urine, Mr Alhasso promptly arranged a CT urogram followed by a flexible cystoscopy the next day. He explained the procedure clearly beforehand and carried it out completely painlessly, putting me at ease throughout. He also had the CT scan results available to discuss with me and took the time to explain his clinical observations and findings in a clear and reassuring manner. What could have been a worrying experience was made so much easier by his kindness, expertise and professionalism. I am very grateful for the prompt investigations and excellent care I received, and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Alhasso to anyone requiring urological care.
From the very first Consultation with Mr Alhasso, he was very sympathetic and patient, listening to my health problems. He took the time to explain procedures etc. The one thing that I remember that gave me confidence in him was “ I will sort it”..

Mr Alhasso was very reassuring and listened to what I said.

Thank you for your kind feedback. I am pleased to hear that you felt reassured during your appointment and that you felt listened to. Taking the time to understand your concerns and ensuring that you feel supported and informed are very important to me. I appreciate your comments and your trust in my care, and I wish you all the very best with your ongoing treatment.
Before my first consultation, I was a little apprehensive, but Dr Alhasso quickly put me at my ease, explained my options thoroughly and, most importantly, was realistic about the chances of a successful outcome for someone of my age. The aquablation procedure went well and I had very little pain on waking from the anaesthetic. Due to my age, Dr Alhasso recommended that I should continue to use a catheter for the first week to assist with the healing process. When I returned to have my catheter removed, my bladder was slow to respond and I worried that the procedure hadn't worked for me. However, Dr Alhasso was more confident and allowed me to go home catheter-free. This was a wise decision because the muscle tone in my bladder has improved and I am happily living my life without a catheter for the first time in over a year. I am very grateful to have been under Dr Alhasso's expert care.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am delighted to hear that you felt at ease from your very first consultation and that the discussions about your treatment options were helpful and informative. It is important to me that patients have a clear understanding of the potential benefits and limitations of treatment so that decisions can be made with confidence. I am also pleased that your Aquablation procedure went smoothly and that your recovery was comfortable. As you describe, recovery can sometimes require patience, particularly when the bladder has been reliant on a catheter for an extended period. It is wonderful to hear that your bladder function has continued to improve and that you are now enjoying life without a catheter for the first time in over a year. Thank you for your generous comments regarding my care. It has been a privilege to be involved in your treatment, and I wish you continued health and wellbeing in the future
Mr Alhasso was friendly, professional and informative. The consultation resulted in a positive, clear and reasoned plan of action and I have come away with a good understanding of the medical position and look forward - with realism - to a cystoscopy and possibly an alternative to intermittent self-catheterisation.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I am delighted that you felt the consultation was informative and that we were able to agree on a clear and realistic plan of action. Ensuring patients understand their condition and treatment options is a key part of my practice. I wish you all the best and look forward to supporting you through the next steps of your care.
Fantastic surgeon. He is a gentleman .
