Mr Chugtai was very clear about my procedure and my results, he explained everything to me. Would highly recommend
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From first consult to operation, everything was explained in simple terms to help me understand what was happening and needed. Follow up informative and operation was a success.
Dr Chughtai was patient and caring, answering all questions thoroughly. He also made himself available to contact outside of appointments which was greatly appreciated.

Great experience, took the time to discuss options and was incredibly calming and reassuring throughout - can't recommend highly enough.
Mr Chughtai has been really kind and helpful in dealing with our granddaughter's health problem. He's gone over and above what we expected, made us feel relaxed and comfortable, and has given us practical suggestions to help her move forward. He has shown that he really cares about his patients.
From my initial consultation to my surgery I was treated with respect, caring and kindness all whilst still maintaining professionalism. To be rang at home the day after surgery to see how I was, was fantastic and it’s that level of care that makes all the difference to recovery and mental health. I would highly recommend him for surgery to anyone else needing this type of surgery
