Highly competent and personable.

Mr Ahmed offered considered and sensible advice on the three occasions I consulted him prior to my surgery. He was able to easily analyse and explain the results of my series of X-rays and MRI, and point out in straight forward terms what needed to be done. During pre-surgery, the procedure itself, and post surgery he was also very visible, caring and supportive, taking time to talk with me, and I had complete confidence in him. This has resulted in a very good result from the procedure, for which I am very grateful.

From start to finish of my journey through hip replacement surgery, Mr Ahmed was of the utmost professional throughout. He explained the full process clearly and set my mind at rest with any concerns I had around the procedure. His bedside manner was excellent and I felt comfortable asking him anything. I would not hesitate to ask for him again if I ever needed further surgery. He is a credit to his profession.

Mr Ahmed was always kind, considerate and succinct in his explanations to me of the procedure. He took care to understand my personal circumstances and I felt completely at ease with him undertaking my surgery. I was reassured and boosted by the post operative review with him. An excellent surgeon.
