I was instantly put at ease by Mr Haq and his up beat ,warm and friendly nature . He made me feel very relaxed from the get go . I was initially dreading discussing my issues but Mr Haq’s approach allowed for awkwardness to dissipate allowing for ease of conversation. His explanations of all things medical were simplified and communicated really well and thoroughly. With his wealth of knowledge and experience in his field and his confidence in what he does I left feeling very looked after and knowing that I was in the best hands. Thank you

Explanation

Mr Haq is one of the nicest consultants I have ever met. The procedure he did seems to be successful as I have not suffered as a result and as it's internal that's my best judge of the treatment. He is utterly professional but personable and warm at the same time. He did not act as rushed as many consultants can be. Highest score!
