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
I honestly can’t thank Mr Sweed enough for everything he’s done for me. From the very first appointment, he made me feel calm, listened to, and completely confident in the process. He explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed or unsure. The surgery went perfectly, and my recovery so far has been better than I ever expected. What really stood out was how reassuring and encouraging he’s been — not just fixing my knee, but also giving me the belief that I can get back to my best again. That confidence means everything during rehab. He’s an incredible surgeon and a genuinely caring person. I feel very lucky to have been under his care and I’ll always be grateful. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone facing ACL surgery.
Tamer is a lovely person above all, he is a brilliant professional and amazing colleague to work with! I highly recommend Mr Tamer Sweed.
