Explanation

Mr Hussian is an excellent specialist! I saw him regarding lymphatic issues and he was very professional. He is really good at listening to patients and when I explained the situation he knew exactly what my symptoms were. He ordered a scan straight away. I then phoned his office a few weeks later with a serious pain in my legs and he saw me that day within 4 hours of me calling and ordered a scan that evening to check it wasnt DVT. I couldn't have asked for better service. He is a very caring health professional and his office is so organised and respond so quickly to any of my questions. I would highly recommend Mr Hussain.

Mr Hussain provided me with the security that he knew what the best treatment option was for me. The initial consultation was a little quick, I would have liked him to offer more information, thus knowing this was the approach meant that on the second consultation I asked more questions.
