Mr Anwar was always extremely honest and professional. I had ACL surgery and he did such an amazing job on the surgery itself, I can barely see the scar! He explained all the steps very thoroughly so I felt comfortable the whole time.

Dr Rahij Anwar is an Excellent Orthopaedic Surgeon and Provides Outstanding Patient Care. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Rahij Anwar, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, for the excellent care he provided to my over 80 years old mother throughout her knee replacement surgery and recovery at London Independent Hospital. Dr Anwar is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced in his field, but also a genuinely caring and compassionate doctor. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my mother’s condition, listened carefully to her concerns, and explained everything clearly and patiently. His calm and reassuring manner gave both my mother and our family great confidence. The knee replacement surgery was performed exceptionally well, and we have been extremely pleased with her progress. What particularly impressed us was the excellent aftercare and continued attention following the operation. Dr Anwar has shown genuine concern for her recovery and has always been approachable, supportive and willing to address any questions or concerns. For an elderly patient, having a surgeon who combines outstanding medical expertise with kindness, patience and genuine care makes a huge difference. We feel very fortunate that my mother was under Dr Anwar’s care. I would highly recommend Dr Rahij Anwar to anyone looking for an excellent, highly skilled and compassionate orthopaedic surgeon. Our family is truly grateful for everything he has done for my mother and for the care and professionalism he has shown throughout her treatment and recovery.

Mr Anwar was incredibly kind and understanding when treating my 87-year-old mum for her very painful hip condition at Blackheath Hospital. He took the time to listen to her concerns and explained her treatment options clearly, which immediately put us at ease. He recommended a hip injection under local anaesthetic and the result has been very good. My mum's pain has reduced and her mobility has improved. We are hopeful that this treatment will delay, or even avoid the need for a hip replacement. We are extremely grateful for the care and expertise Mr Anwar has shown. We have complete confidence in him and would not hesitate to return to him in the future should my mother need any further advice/treatment.

I had an arthroscopy operation on the right knee and since the first appointment with Mr. Rahij Anwar I felt that he was the right person to treat me and I was very lucky through all the treatment, looking forward to operate the left knee.

I recently had a follow-up appointment with my surgeon after knee surgery, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. He was extremely attentive and took the time to address all my questions thoroughly. He walked me through images from the procedure and even drew diagrams to make everything clearly understandable. He also gave detailed guidance on the next steps in my recovery.

I was due to have a Total Knee Replacement with Mr Anwar in January. From my first consultation to my discharge he went through everything I needed to know and reassured me that I will be pain free once I have recovered. I highly recommend Mr Anwar for his care and attention to all my needs. Thank you.
