Excellent. Mr Shah took time to explain everything to me in a clear way that I could understand prior to my operation. And one week on from my operation I have had no pain and no side effects. I am extremely pleased with everything.

I would say I’m a delicate person, and I was very impressed by the way I was treated when I first met Dr Shah in December 2023. He gave me clear, helpful advice and treatment. Very satisfied with the entire process from initial consultation to discharge. A very friendly, knowledgeable and caring doctor who takes the time to help you understand every aspect of your condition and what steps should be taken next. Dr Shah comes across as calm, thoughtful and kind. Highly recommended!
