I could not be happier with the outcome of my hip operation. As has been the case in all my dealings with Mr Islam he was clear, professional and very kind and compassionate. Six weeks after surgery my wound has healed really well and I do not need crutches to walk. I have requested that Mr Islam do my other hip in due course and I can recommend him to anyone needing hip surgery. Thank you, Mr Islam.
