I had a very positive experience with Mr Haq. He took great care of me from the very beginning and was always attentive, reassuring and easy to communicate with. As this was my first time having surgery outside my home country, I was naturally a little nervous, but he made me feel completely safe and that I was in very good hands throughout the whole process. His communication has been excellent, both before and after the surgery. I’m very grateful for his care and support and would like to thank him sincerely.

Mr Haq provides excellent care. He went out of his way to make room in his schedule at short notice to perform a hernia repair with excellent results. I was up and walking within hours and able to go on a sports activity holiday within 6 weeks. 12 months on there was no visible scar.

I can’t recommend Mr Haq enough. He is absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He made me feel completely at ease, listen to everything I had to say and explained things clearly without ever making me feel rushed. He is very knowledgeable, kind and genuinely caring. An excellent doctor and a lovely person

I consulted with Mr Asif Haq due to long standing circumstances. Mr Haq care and medical leadership denoted from the very first consultation. My circumstances escalated to emergency, and Mr Haq coordinated the surgery within hours. His after surgery care was exceptional. He provided me with the right resources to carry on with pain management and devised the next steps with clarity and professionalism. I would recommend Mr Asif Haq and if I had the opportunity to choose him as my surgeon, I would do it again. Thank you for caring, Asif!

Following my operation in 2021 I have had a colonoscopy in 2024 and again this year as a check up. Mr Haq, is always very professional, straight forward and has some humour which is helpful, rather than being dour. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone who needs his expertise.

Mr Haq inspires confidence and puts his patients at ease. He is clearly an outstanding surgeon and his case follow-up is second-to-none. He leads and is supported by an excellent team all of whom ensure the patient is kept fully informed at all times. Mr Haq's concern for improving his patients' quality-of-life is obvious and once surgery is complete, he continues to personally monitor and manage the patient's return to health. Very impressive indeed.
