I am very grateful to Mr Abbassi-Ghadi for his skill and care in treating me for a troublesome gallbladder. He explained the procedure clearly, what to expect afterwards and generally put me at my ease. The operation went very well; I experienced very little post operative discomfort and was back to normal activities within four weeks, which was excellent. I cannot recommend Mr Abbassi-Ghadi highly enough, thank you very much!

One year ago today, I underwent major surgery for an oesophagectomy to remove a 12cm stage 4 tumour. I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude and commendation for Dr. Nima Abbassi-Ghadi and his team for the exceptional care and expertise provided to me. From my initial consultation through to my surgery and follow-up appointments, Dr. Abbassi-Ghadi demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, empathy, and precision in every aspect of my treatment. Despite my trepidation of a near 12 hour surgery my recovery was significantly ahead of my expectations, with no complications I was aware of I was ready to leave ICU in 4 days, and discharged in 7. Today, thanks to their incredible skill and care, I am a year cancer-free and leading a full, active life. My recovery was remarkably smooth, and I attribute to his excellent surgical technique. It's accurate to say that I owe them my life. I am incredibly grateful for the second chance he has given me. His dedication to his patients' well-being is evident in everything he does, and I cannot thank him enough for his outstanding care. To those considering him for your surgical needs, I wholeheartedly recommend him. His expertise, coupled with his compassionate approach, makes him and his team tier one - I could not have hoped for better treatment.

I say Mr Nima Abbassi-Ghadi for hernia repair surgery. He was thorough in his explanation and listened to my concerns. He made time to see me before and after surgery. Everything went smoothly and I am extremely satisfied with the results. He is clearly exceptional at what he does and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I was nervous before my first ever keyhole surgical procedure, but Mr Abassi-Ghadi was kind, competent and reassuring; he explained everything in a clear and helpful manner and the operation went well, with all issues dealt with. My recovery has gone smoothly, and I'm so happy with the outcome and its impact on my life - it's a real success story for me.

Mr Abbassi-Ghadi provided me with fantastic explanations of the anti-reflux procedure and expected recovery before the surgery. The investigatory procedures and the subsequent anti-reflux surgery itself were a total success. I was never left wanting during my time in hospital. Further to that the aftercare has been above expectations, I have always felt like I can reach out to Mr Abbassi-Ghadi whenever it has been required, and he has always answered all of my questions promptly and courteously.
