Reviews
I had ACL & Meniscus surgery. Mr Tamer Sweed was so helpful throughout every stage. Initially I was very nervous to have the surgery, but Mr Sweed made me feel much better about the situation. He went out of his way to explain things & I went into surgery more confident. Now 3 months post operation, I am recovering really well. It felt like Mr Sweed really cared, and I appreciated that. Special mention to his secretary Natalie, who was always there to speak with and respond quickly, and a really nice person. Very thankful.
I was referred to Dr Sweed by another consultant due to complexities with my knee and alignment issues on my right leg. He was really thorough and explained everything prior to surgery, was very helpful with my questions. He has been consistent with my appointments and again thorough with my post operative care. I have had an excellent experience with Dr Sweed and I am extremely happy with the results.
Great doctor and surgeon has fixed my knee and given me great guidance and advice during the recovery period. Very happy with my recovery and rehab after MCL surgery.
wonderful experience, never thought I would take a pain free step again, but thanks to Mr Sweed I am!!
Amazing experience, was in a lot of pain and going through a lot mentally given the meniscus injury and acl but Mr Sweed kept me reassured. Before and after surgery.
All through my experience and journey with Mr Sweed I have felt listened to, considered and cared for to conclude in a positive outcome.
Every aspect of my treatment was explained in detail and with clarity from first consultation until the conclusion of my treatment. Any queries I had were fully answered.
Mr Swede was very clear and straightforward from the start about the surgery and expectations afterwards. As I have some understanding of anatomy he was very down to earth with me about all aspect which I very much appreciated. I’m very happy with the post op results and have returned to normal activities a lot faster than anticipated due to his excellent work
