Patient Testimonials

"Great service and very friendly."

"Prof Shaikh was emphatic and I felt totally at ease and trusted him implicitly. He was able to make me feel so much better following Botox injection for a fissure. Following this I was able to come off amitriptyline, which was great. It is reassuring to know that should I need any further treatment I have Prof Shaikh!"

"Prof Shaikh gave me superb care, from our first appt, he was very clear and explained my condition and procedure extremely well, allowing questions from both me and my husband. Following the surgery, he was encouraging, compassionate and clear in our interactions, whether face to face or on the phone. His positivity and encouragement helped me recover I believe as fast as possible too as I was keen to do everything I could to help myself recover. I consider myself incredibly lucky, my cancer was picked up on routine bowel screening, thanks to a 60th birthday FIT test from the NHS. I had no symptoms. I was seen very quickly by Prof, following colonoscopy, when he explained that he would operate using robotic surgery which I had never heard of. This meant that my operation, took place internally without the need or risks of open surgery. The apertures for the robot were small and healed quickly afterwards and I was ready for discharge on day 4. I am grateful for the NHS Bowel Screening Programme, and to Prof Shaikh, robot and team."
