Miss Kazal Omar

Written by a private patient at The Blackheath Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

I saw Miss Omar as a private patient at the Blackheath Hospital. I had a very poor experience with her, to the extent that I requested to see another consultant going forward and would not recommend her at all. I saw her regarding problems with painful sex, vulval soreness and suspected endometriosis ongoing for about 8 years now. During the appointment I felt that she was not listening to me and did not ask the right questions. She is brusque and short with you when speaking. She performed a cursory examination on me and acknowledged that I had tightness of my pelvic floor and that there seemed to be inflammation, but could only offer a suggestion to use numbing gel during intercourse which may as well have been a recommendation to drink a glass of wine and grit my teeth. Any woman going through these problems will know the severe affect that this can have on our relationships and mental health, but she does not offer a sympathetic ear. Miss Omar offered no further suggestions, examinations or any sort of diagnosis during my appointment and misrepresented the consultation I had within the post appointment letter sent to my GP. If you note she has positive reviews on Doctify, well it seems that you can only leave her a review there if you are given a link to review so this seems to be swaying the reviews.

I went to see Miss Omar for a polyp removal. When I arrived at the hospital I saw her outside on her mobile. She called me in for my appointment early and I hadn’t even finished filling in my forms for the reception. She was very abrupt, did not let me speak and kept talking over me continuously and her mobile rang twice and she answered it whilst I was talking behind the curtain. She inserted the spectrum and then realised there were no more apparatus in her cupboard so she left me in the room with the spectrum inside me whilst she went to look for the apparatus. I don’t think she even told me to undress my bottom half or warn me the spectrum was going in and asking if I was comfortable which is pretty standard. I understood from the receptionist I was her last appointment of the day. Whilst I was filling in my forms after the appointment she was already off in her car leaving. Apart from the traumatic birth of my son, this is the worst medical appointment I have ever encountered. I hope she was rushing off for a medical emergency and then perhaps I’ll feel better about this appointment.

I have to agree with the previous review Miss Omar is indeed brusque and quite rude, totally unnecessary, would be interesting to know if Miss Omar addressing private patients in such a manner. Miss Omar had Not read the GP’s notes of why I was a fast tracked referral and after two minutes was getting ready to exit me, I explained that I was referred because of a polyp. A quick examination, the polyp was removed, no patient consent, no mention of this happening, no explanation of whether the polyp was to be sent off. Her follow up letter is equally rude & dismissive as her attitude in person. I thought the NHS was starting a new initiative for better focus on woman’s health. This doctor lacks any empathy, one could wonder why she does the job, we as patients seem a nuisance to her

Whilst I was very impressed with the Day Surgery Unit at PRUH overall - every OTHER member of staff was amazing - I'm afraid to say that I found Miss Omar's attitude very poor indeed. I'm very happy for hospital to be "business like" (I work in an industry known to be challenging behaviour-wise, and am no "wallflower"), but Miss Omar was brusque, did not encourage questions at all, and was wholly dismissive during our short interaction. In the couple of minutes she spoke to me, she barked at me asking if wanted a coil fitted, like it was some simple decision to be made in a heartbeat (it had never been mentioned to me before), and when I said I'd need to think about it she huffed and said "well your GP can do it then!". I don't doubt that medically she does the right thing and may well be good at that, but her bedside manner leaves a LOT to be desired, and left me feeling upset, un-cared for and not listened to.

Miss Omar is a totally caring consultant. She performed my hysterectomy and BSO for stage one endometrial cancer in September 2021. As I waited agonising for my results, she rang with good news and made me laugh. She is straight to the point and down to earth and you can ask her anything. My gynaecologist said she was the only person he wanted to do my surgery as she is, as he said, "The best at getting big things out of small holes". Miss Omar performed intricate keyhole surgery to remove my swollen womb, and reassured me throughout and at the follow ups. I was really sad to see that the other patient didn't like her bedside manner. You need to remember that she's a skilled surgeon not Mary Poppins, and I'd opt for no one else to do complicated work under anaesthetic.
