Mr Zaid removed an inflamed tonsil remnant/lesion by robotic assisted surgery which had been causing me pain for a long time. I felt like I was in safe and experienced hands for my procedure. Everything was very professional with great care, explanation and empathy. I had a clear idea of what to expect before, during and after my procedure. I didn't feel quite as positively about the Anaesthetist on the day. A few days into my recovery, Mr Zaid was in touch with results of my histology and I had a thorough follow-up appt 6 weeks later. The inflamed tonsil remnant had been causing referred eye pain via the Trigeminal nerve and I'm delighted to say the pain has now gone. I'm very happy with the result and all the care I received from Mr Zaid. 5 stars from me.

I approached Dr Awad on account of a recommendation from a friend who had nasal issues which were remediated following surgery undertaken by Dr Awad. When I first went into his clinic he very quickly found the root cause of my issue and helped me plan a treatment plan for it which included Septoplasty. Its now been 6 weeks since the operation and my breathing has improved significantly. I'm looking forward to seeing how the results improve my sleep, exercise and general day to day life.

I have had an ongoing ENT issue for many years. Mr Awad was highly recommended to me and I can see why. He was attentive and most helpful in reviewing my case and explained what he thought was the problem and most importantly for me reviewed my current regime of treatment and suggested a new one. I felt very confident in his care and really pleased that I had been able to have the consultation with him
