Mr Syed has done a great job replacing my hip and I’d recommend his work to anyone. Maybe just slow down & take a few more moments in aftercare! Very polite just seems like he’s always in a rush .. maybe to get the next hip replaced!!

I suffer from anxiety regarding health matters and would have appreciated more discussion and reassurance about the necessity for the operation and the process at the first two appointments. I requested a further consultation with Mr Ahmed and at that appointment he was excellent in helping to reduce my anxieties and reassuring me about the potential dangers and negative outcomes of the operation. If I had had this experience at the initial consultations it would have avoided my becoming very fearful of having the operation which was very hard to cope with in the months leading up to the surgery. Mr Ahmed is clearly an outstanding surgeon.
