I couldn’t fault Dr Hakeem and his staff team. I felt completely confident about the surgery in his care. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understand the complexity of the surgery.

It was my first consultation with Mr Hakeem to discuss my arthritic big toe
My procedure was fully explained to me prior to surgery and also on the day of the surgery when an extra procedure was added. Mr. Hakeem was very good, pleasant and professional in relation to all my dealings with him. After the surgery he explained clearly the time frame for further appointments and what he was expecting in relation to my recovery. Was a very pleasant experience all round
