One of the best doctors I have ever dealt with. He is very dedicated to his job and pays great attention to the details. Even though Dr. Hashemi was not involved in my treatment from the beginning of it, he did carefully review all my results and always answer all my questions. He did LINX surgery on me which massively improved my quality of life. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who suffers with acid reflux.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your confidence and trust in me.

Professor Nadey Hakim
I have known Majid Hashemi for many years, and we have worked together as consultants. He is an excellent surgeon with a wealth of experience in upper gastrointestinal surgery - both benign and malignant. His interests lie in laparoscopic surgery for morbid obesity, and complex oesophageal cases including recurrent hiatus hernia and cardiomyotomy. I can thoroughly recommend him for these and other laparoscopic procedures including gallbladder surgery.
Mr David Stoker
Mr Hashemi is a skilled and thoughtful surgeon. He looks after his patients very well indeed
Dr Deepak Suri
Majid has a very wide experience in acid reflux surgery and has a great deal of expertise in this field. He is thorough and meticulous in his assessment of patients before surgery, and explains the pros and cons of operative intervention with care, so that his patients are empowered to make the right decision for them and know what to expect post operatively. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone wanting a surgical opinion on reflux disease
