Mr Osama M Moussa

Written by a NHS patient at Watford General Hospital

I was admitted to Watford A&E Hospital with severe pain in my abdomen . I was subjected to a CT scan & it was confirmed I had appendicitis . I was then in the care of Mr Osama Moussa , of whom I had a glimpse in the operating theatre. The next morning he visited me , in my bed , simply explained , where I was when he started the surgery with his amazing team , & where I was health wise post operation. He explained to me simply what I should do , to help myself to follow up his successful operation . He answered every question , I had & in simple terms. I am so pleased he reviewed my progress after three weeks , post op at the St Albans City Hospital. He with his , experience & expertise has assured I am rapidly returning to my normal life . He is a charming down to earth medical professional , in his chosen field, with his patients , care in mind . Wish him all the very best . Many Thanks Best Regards Kanagasabai Kulenthiran

I was referred to Osama for a Nissen Fundoplication through the NHS. The assistance and direction given by Osama's support team through the initial discussions about my condition and in the lead up to the surgery date was great . The surgery was performed within a very reasonable timescale although at a time of significant upheaval in the NHS with strikes etc. The pre-op discussion with Osama was informative and reassuring. The surgery was performed swiftly and with no complications and followed within a few hours by Osama coming onto the ward to check on progress and just summarise what had been achieved and the next steps. My recovery has been good and I have had two follow up sessions with Osama since the surgery to check on progress (at 4 weeks and 3 months). Additionally I am reassured that if there are any concerns and questions then Osama has confirmed he is happy to take a call from me direct to seek input or advice without having to first go through my GP. Osama is obviously skilled as a surgeon in this 'GI' area but additionally and importantly has a positive 'bed side' manner being informative, reassuring, and relaxed in his discussions and communications. I particularly appreciated his 'down to earth' approach and genuine interest in me and what the surgery had achieved for me. The procedure has been life changing in a positive way for me and whilst there are some changes that I will need to make in my lifestyle these are minor compared to the significant benefits to my quality of life.

I am currently four and a half weeks post laparoscopic Nissan fundoplication surgery (a hiatus hernia was also present which was fixed at the same time as the Nissen fundoplication). This was performed by Mr Moussa and I can honestly say it has been life changing. For years I have suffered with sickness, teeth erosion, mouth sores, burping, throat clearing and difficulty eating. Following the procedure all my symptoms have disappeared and I am now able to sleep and go about my daily activities without any discomfort. I am no longer taking PPI medication and the very small incisions have healed beautifully. Throughout the whole journey I have been shown nothing but compassion and understanding by Mr Moussa and his team and I wholeheartedly recommend this surgery for anyone thinking of undertaking it.

One month ago Mr. Moussa performed a fundoplication and hiatus hernia op for me. I feel strong and well already. I am very grateful to him and his team for their care. I found him to be very professional while demonstrating concern and effort in explaining clearly ( in every day language) answers to my questions before the op. A few hours after the op he visited me on the ward and because I was still feeling a bit woozy he willingly spoke to my daughter on my phone giving her a clear picture of how the op had gone. Thank you for your personal and professional care Mr Moussa! It matters!
