Mr Hassan was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, listened to me and explained the treatment to me clearly. From the first time I met Mr Hassan I was confident my condition would be treated and he did not let me down. Now after several years of suffering and feeling awful I am well on my way to recovery!

I finally have answers as to what was going on! Mr Hassan has helped uncover endometriosis that has been there for years. He has been really helpful and I am so pleased I went to see him. Professional and clear on what was needed to be done.

I would highly recommend Mr Wassim Hassan, particularly to anyone dealing with endometriosis, including complex cases. He is polite, professional and straight to the point, with no beating around the bush. What really stood out to me, compared to other consultants I have seen, was how thoroughly he explained everything. Whether it was my diagnosis, treatment options or how certain medications would work, he took the time to ensure I understood what was happening. He even drew diagrams and used images to help explain things, which made a real difference to me. Having a consultant who specialises in both regular and complex endometriosis cases gave me great reassurance that I was in the right hands. He clearly understood my condition, what needed to be done during surgery and how to approach my aftercare. He also considered my other chronic illnesses alongside my endometriosis, including the medications needed to manage them and the importance of putting a plan in place to give me the best possible chance of preventing the endometriosis from returning. His care did not stop once the surgery was over. He came to see me as soon as I woke up from my operation and again the following day to explain what he had found, what had been done and to answer any further questions I had. Overall, I felt listened to, well informed and reassured throughout my experience. I would absolutely recommend Mr Hassan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough and experienced consultant, especially those dealing with endometriosis or more complex cases. Having someone who takes the time to ex...
