From the initial consultation and diagnosis of tongue cancer, Mr Alibhai, thoroughly explained the plan of action and really took time out to listen and answer every question and concern we had regarding treatment and surgery. He is very calming, assuring and his professionalism made me and my family feel much more at ease during this difficult time. Post surgery, Mr Alibhai's follow up care is nothing but exceptional, and even called my wife to keep her informed every step of the way which we are so grateful and thankful for. Mr Alibhai is an artist at what he can do in an operating theatre and I feel incredibly fortunate that I had such an experienced surgeon operate on myself. I would undoubtedly recommend Mr Alibhai and his team to anyone, and cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me so far. He is such an incredible man, and I am so grateful to have him by my side as he feels more to us like a friend than a surgeon.

Mr Alibhai has accompanied me through the five years from cancer operation to (fingers crossed) all clear. He has always had the kindest and most reassuring bedside manner and has been there to fix things when they have gone wrong. It is so reassuring to have been so well looked after, but also to have been taken through this by a physician with such empathy.

I saw Mr Alibhai for removal of all four of my wisdom teeth, with one of the bottom two being a complex case because it was sitting right on the nerve. He was incredibly kind and patient and the surgery went extremely smoothly.

I have not seem a doctor of Dr Alihbai standard. I was extremely worry about my oral health condition. After extensive research, I contacted Dr Alihbai office. From start to end I knew I was in safe, kind and expert hands. From the initial consultation to post-biopsy follow-up, he showed compassion and professionalism.  On initial appointment, Dr Alihbai carefully examined my mouth and neck, and reassured me that my oral condition is Oral Lichen Planus. He arranged an oral Biosy the following day. During oral biopsy procedure, He explained every step of the process, I felt cared and comfortable. Dr Alihbai’s secretary Lina is very kind and highly organized, possess excellent communication skills. She would try everything to help patient. I was so touched. Thank you very much for everything. Would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Mr Alibhai provided prompt, reassuring help when I was diagnosed. I had every confidence in his knowledge and skills and was impressed that at least two of his colleagues praised his work highly without any prompt or enquiry from me. The treatment was reasonably easy to bear knowing that I was in safe hands.
