From initial treatment plan to post op follow up, your attention to detail, responsiveness, empathy and understanding has been excellent. Above all the accurate and diligent procedure, preserved all nerve endings and the results could not have been better, I had everything fully functioning one week after surgery which blew my expectation. Excellent results for which I will be forever grateful.Thank you.

Thank you for your very thorough, competent and comprehensive diagnostic examination and conclusion.

Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid was very impressive in all aspects of my interactions with him both before and after surgery.The surgery itself and subsequent recovery have been excellent which I believe is due in a large part to his experience, innovative research and processes. I am hugely thankful he is my surgeon and consultant throughout this process.

I had a robotic prostatectomy carried out by Mr Wissam Abou Chedid who was very friendly and professional which put me at my ease. The procedure went very well and I have made a full recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Wissam Abou Chedid to anyone for a robotic prostatectomy.

Mr Chedid is not just an expert in his field, but also a thorough gentleman who truly cares about his patients. I have not seen a Doctor yet who has the knack of explaining complex concepts to patients with such simplicity, while being precise and reassuring too. I am really glad I found Mr Chedid and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who has to undergo a Radical Prostatectomy. His Rhetzius Sparing and Nerve Sparing techniques ensured that I did not suffer from any post operative issues, so much so that after a week of the operation it was almost impossible to tell that I underwent such a major surgery. Thank you Mr Chedid for taking such great care of me. Me and my family are extremely grateful to you. I haven't stopped going ga ga about you. A saviour for me.

I would recommend Wissam as an excellent surgeon who performed my robotic assisted radical prostatectomy. I have recovered well over the last year with regard to no urinary incontinence and limited impotence at this moment in time.
5
Excellent all round care and attention. His professional yet relaxed manner was reassuring and informative as to what was ahead. He could understand my concerns, filled me with confidence with excellent at communication up and beyond what was expected. Always available at the end of a phone, give you confidence that nothing was unexpected and was too much trouble. Can not recommend Wissam enough. Amazing surgeon
5
Very good,outcome of surgery far better than expected.
