Mr Taghi performed the tonsillectomy of my 2 years old daughter. She was having tonsillitis episodes very frequently as well as a severe sleep apnea. In many occasions her breathing difficulties were such, that we thought we were going to lose her. Her life after Mr Taghi intervention changed drastically. She hasn’t got sick a single time for almost a year, and she breaths while sleeping perfectly. Thanks Mr Taghi!

I was/am under the care of Dr Ali Taghi for a septoplasty and rhinoplasty as a result of a deviated septum. I am more than happy with the results. I had minimal bruising and recovered pretty quickly. Dr Ali Taghi was very empathetic caring and precise throughout the surgery and post care.

I couldn’t have wished to meet a better consultant to perform my 3 year old daughter’s surgery. After an horrific experience with previous doctors and consultants I was in an absolute mess. Mr Taghi actually listened to what I was saying and took immediate action to help me and my daughter. Without this consultation I would be stuck in A&E worried out of my mind still but instead my daughter has progressed drastically and is now breathing freely. My daughters life is the most precious thing in the world to me and I’m so happy I found Mr Taghi to help her.

Mr Taghi performed my tonsilectomy. The operation, normally routine, was complicated by my medical history. The quality of his surgery was clear and evidenced by my excellent recovery. Throughout he was calm, polite, honest and considerate. If I had other tonsils I'd happily have him take them out.

Dr Taghi has made a lifelong dream come true! It is so hard to put your trust into someone especially when it comes to your face! The process was very smooth and the aftercare was even better because Dr Taghi had prepared me throughly. His attention to care after the operation made me feel like I was in very good hands. I am totally thrilled with the results, I feel a lot more confident, my friends and family love my new nose and tell me I’m looking younger and prettier. Thank you for your kindness, patience, skill, expertise and working your magic!

Knowledgeable (I think one has to be if you are working in a major teaching hospital in London), but incredibly aloof. Lacks empathy and brushed aside my questions after he explained the bare essentials. I am frankly surprised at all the positive reviews for him here.

Dr Taghi knew exactly what treatment to prescribe when I showed up with inflamed salivary glands last Christmas. He gave me a good overview of how he thought I would develop over the next few weeks, which was spot on. Most importantly, I am eternally grateful for Dr Taghi's bedside manner. He listened to what I had to say and identified that I was exhausted and worried, so he took some blood tests and talked to me until I felt reassured. He made me laugh and helped me to calm down. He is such a joy and it was a blessing to be treated by him. Thank you!

My son was born extremely premature and had a congenital condition of his nose called choanal atresia. He was under another excellent ENT surgeon and had 6 procedures. He eventually saw Mr Taghi who performed his 7th and final procedure which finally allowed him to breathe normally from his nose and to finally be discharged home after almost 9 months in hospital. We are truly indebted to Mr Taghi and wish we’d met him sooner! Thank you so much Mr Taghi!

Mr Taghi is an exceptional surgeon. He is honest, professional, and compassionate. He has an eye for detail and explains things clearly. I was very anxious about having the surgery and took a few months before I went ahead with it. I was particularly concerned as I had previous trauma to my nose and the surgery to fix it left me with more damage. As a health professional myself I appreciated Mr Taghi’s honesty, care, and talent. The pain I had following surgery was minimal and the swelling subsided quickly. While I know that it will take a few more months for residual swelling to subside and the final shape to become clear, I trust Mr Taghi’s work was the best possible as it ensured a harmonious and natural look. I definitely recommend him.
