Dr Chughtai was very friendly and attentive when listening to my explanation of my issues. He went into detail about possible diagnoses and procedures required and answered any questions I had regarding them. He is very calm in his demeanour and I felt like I was talking with a friend or colleague after the first consultation. Thank you Dr Chughtai
Mr Chugthai was really easy to deal with, personable, professional and explained what was wrong, what would be carried out during the operation and post op what I could expect in a clear manner. I was left feeling that I was in the right hands!

Mr Chughtai was professional in his manner without being overbearing and explained the procedure in detail
I have recently had surgery with Mr Chughtai to remove my gallbladder. He explained everything in great detail before and after surgery. The level of care from Mr Chughtai was outstanding and if I ever need anymore procedures I would definitely feel comfortable going back to him.
Mr Chughtai proved to be an excellent health care professional. From my earliest consultation he was very friendly which immediately put me at ease. He was very thorough with his questions, and most importantly, he was a very good listener. He allowed me to share my concerns and explain all aspects of my condition. Clearly very knowledgeable in his field, and an extremely efficient professional regarding reports and liaising with my GP.
I had multiple lipomas removed by Mr Shafiq Chughtai, and the care was excellent throughout. He was clear, reassuring, and highly skilled, making the whole process quick and comfortable. Recovery has been smooth with great results. I’d confidently recommend him .
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.
