I visited Dr. Alibhai in February 2026 for a salivary gland issue. After my first appointment, I felt completely reassured and confident in the proposed course of treatment, which included surgery.

Professional, empathetic, and caring - a great doctor. Highly recommend
Dr. Alibhai made the entire process feel smooth and reassuring. He was patient, attentive and took the time to address all of my questions. His excellent bedside manner helped me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures, all of which were successful.
I recently underwent surgery for a plunging ranula performed by Mr. Alibhai, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care I received.

During my initial consultation, Mr. Alibhai took the time to explain my condition thoroughly, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. I felt reassured knowing I was in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon who genuinely cared about my well-being. On the day of the surgery, the entire team was incredibly supportive. Mr. Alibhai reassured me once again, calming my nerves before the procedure as this was going to be my first experience with general anaesthetics. Upon waking up from the anesthesia, I was met with warm, attentive nursing staff who monitored my recovery closely. Mr. Alibhai visited me afterward, discussing the surgery outcomes and outlining my recovery plan. His attention to detail, in person visit each day and genuine concern for my well-being continued through out my stay in hospital, upon discharge and until my follow-up appointment. Thanks to Mr. Alibhai, I am now free from the discomfort of the plunging ranula. I am grateful for the care and kindness shown to me throughout this period. I highly recommend Mr. Alibhai to anyone in need of surgical care, particularly those facing complex conditions. His dedication to patien...
