I felt confident that I was receiving the highest standard of care and am extremely grateful for his expertise and support.

Professional friendly approach makes the experience so easy and a calm knowledgeable professional just adds to the relaxed experience

Thank you for the kind feedback.
Seeing Professor Salib for my nasal surgery was one of the best things I've ever done . I can smell and taste again, I have no nasal congestion or a permanently blocked nose, oh and I can breath again. A massive thankyou , its made me much happier.

Thank you very much for the kind words.
Prof reviewed my sinus surgery and confirmed everything had healed well and that this was the final follow- up. He was very professional, a good listener, never rushed, and willing to explain - as always.

Many thanks for the kind words.
I had recent surgery with Prof Salib which went very well. The whole team were professional and supportive. The most recent aftercare appt I attended was a little more involved than I expected, but the relief felt afterwards was worth it. Being able to breathe properly through my nostrils is a new experience for me, and after the removal of excess residual matter at my last appt, the whole feeling in my head has changed for the better.

Thank you for the kind feedback.
Prof.Salib is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Thank you for the kind words.
Excellent treatment and after care from Professor Salib and team. He has a lovely caring manner and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Very impressed. Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much for the kind words.
I cannot recommend Professor Rami Salib highly enough. I have lived with severe and persistent nasal polyps alongside asthma for many years, with a significant impact on my quality of life. What I am most grateful for is Professor Salib’s perseverance. He never simply accepted that I should continue living with debilitating symptoms. He listened, took my experience seriously and continued looking for better treatment options, including biologic therapies, despite the complexities surrounding access to these treatments. Having a consultant prepared to keep advocating for me and searching for a treatment that could genuinely change my quality of life has meant an enormous amount. Throughout, I have felt that Professor Salib sees the person behind the condition, not simply the symptoms. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, persistence and genuine commitment to his patients. When you have lived with a chronic condition for years, having a doctor who refuses to give up on finding a better answer can make all the difference.

Thank you very much for the kind words and positive feedback. Much appreciated. I am delighted that you are finally doing well, after what has been a really challenging journey for you over the past 10 years. It makes the whole effort and perseverance very worthwhile. I wish you the very best for the future.
Explain everything in plain, simple terms, the diagnosis, what the doctor observed, and what the recommended procedure actually involves. Lay out the pros and cons of each option, including the surgery itself, so you have a clearer picture for your next conversation with Dr. Salib.

Many thanks for the kind words.
Prof Salib treated me exceptionally well for an issue with my throat and vocal chords. The treatment he prescribed and advice he gave meant the issue completely resolved itself. Throughout, he explained really well what the problem was. Communication was very good as well when it came to requiring follow up appointments. All incredibly professional.

Many thanks for the kind words.
