What an amazing surgeon so professional made me feel at ease from start to finish a big thank you and best of all no more pain
Mr Mistry is highly professional kind and friendly who put me at great ease and performed excellent surgery
Mr Mistry performed carpal tunnel surgery on one of my hands. I have to say that his approach was very reassuring and calming before surgery ie in the preoperative consultation appointment. He was very empathetic, and understanding. He took time to explain the procedure and dealt with all my queries and concerns and really helped to put me at ease. The surgery went well. I was concerned about what the scar would be like, and the pain afterwards, but he did a fantastic neat job, and everything went to plan. I had a follow up appointment with him and his demeanour was exactly the same. He was very helpful and understanding. I would thoroughly recommend him if you are considering having this kind of surgery. We will be going back again as he will need to do my other hand.
Saw Mr Mistry for issues with my hand. He had an excellent way of putting you at ease with his calm nature and witty humour. Thorough explanation of the condition and the course of treatment required. Whole process went smoothly.
Mr Mistry performed my mini abdominal rhinoplasty and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. From my very first consultation through to my post-op appointments, he went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood the procedure and felt completely comfortable at every stage. He took the time to carefully explain everything, answered all of my questions without ever rushing me, and made sure my expectations were realistic and well managed. I felt genuinely listened to and reassured throughout the entire process, which made a huge difference to my overall experience. The aftercare has been just as exceptional as the surgery itself. I always felt supported, well looked after, and confident that I was in very safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Mistry to anyone considering this procedure - not only for his excellent work, but for the outstanding care and attention he gives to his patients.
I visited to have a finger operation to try and straighten my finger everything went will the staff and surgeon was great help and answered all the questions I gave them
Had a finger and palm operation on the 27th November 2025, Mr Misty kept me informed every step of the way during the operation and was strict with my after care which has now led to my finger looking amazing and the finger is now straight better than I ever expected. Have just had my follow up post op and he said it is looking really good. I have had lots of compliments on the neatness of the scar from medical professions. thank you Mr Misty you have done an amazing job on my finger I will forever be grateful.
Mr Misty has a very effective "bedside manner". Very calm, amenable and pleasant. Explains clearly what he he intends to do and what to expect. He and his nurses are very professional and competent. No complaints whatsoever
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Mistry for the fantastic surgery that he performed on my right thumb. I am now pain free in the right thumb and it is in a much better position after many years of discomfort and being told nothing could be done . I could not fault my treatment from start to finish at the Spire Alexander Hospital. One thing that would just make it absolutely perfect is if in the coming months it would be possible to consider having the hand therapist attached to the Alexandra so that the procedure is started and finished at the one Hospital. Whilst MCH hand therapist we're very quick and helpful it was very difficult getting in touch with them if you had a problem with the splint etc . I do think that it would just help to make people feel a lot more secure if as I say it was all under the one Hospital.
