So far I have had only a few visits with Mr Aziz but in that short time I have found him to be very informative. His judgement has been good and very much to my advantage and relief. I look forward to my future appointments with him.

I first met Mr Aziz for a second opinion, after my local hospital advised palliative care for my cancer. Mr Aziz after several scans assured me he would do his best to remove the whole tumour. Which filled me with confidence after I thought all hope had gone.
I am now one year cancer free!
Mr Aziz is professional, and has a friendly approach, he always includes my family in discussions. I have just had a second major operation, not cancer related, which Mr Aziz facilitated, which I was delighted about, as I thought my op. was being performed locally. Covid put a stop to some face to face consultations, we spoke on the telephone instead and I was copied into any letters regarding my situation.
I can't think of a way to improve the treatment I received from Mr Aziz or The Christie

I was very lucky to have selected Mr Omer Aziz in Oct 2020 for treatment for sigmoid colon cancer. From the moment of meeting him he reassured and listened to my every concern. If he could, he assured me that he would, and he did. I came out of surgery not requiring a stoma bag or needing a blood transfusion and post op test revealed an all clear. While I am still in recovery at home he has monitored my blood tests, kept in touch and while I was left weak and tired after my operation he has kept close care of me. I can not praise Mr Aziz enough,
