Dr Zaid operated on my sinuses on 11 October, and it has been life-changing. I could never breathe properly through my nose before. Now I breathe normally, with no trouble at all. He was very kind and patient, explained the whole procedure to me in detail, and came to check on me after the operation to make sure everything was okay. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
