When we first met Mr Aziz he had a great I think we can do that attitude rather than the negative response we had received elsewhere, he explained the risks and likely outcome of surgery very well and everything he predicted was spot on. I am making a good recovery and thanks to Mr Aziz I am still here.

I would reiterate all that has been said by the many reviewers who have so eloquently gone before me.
I would describe Mr Aziz’s care as “wrap around” I felt secure with him from our first meeting to the final time he popped into see me post surgery before I went home. He explained the laparoscopic procedure to us clearly and was very easy to chat to and ask questions of.
A very skilled surgeon with the “likeability” factor who is also caring. In fact, he called into the hospital to see me and my husband on a Saturday morning on the way home from taking his kids to a swimming lesson, just to check my progress!

Understood my needs and requirements prior to and following surgery and how the surgery wasn't just going to affect me but my family too. Mr Aziz and his team were very good at explaining things in simple terms where necessary so that all scenarios and consequences were understood.

I found Mr Aziz understanding of my own situation, clear about what treatment was available for my condition and straight to the point where I knew both the positives and negatives of my condition. I was therefore able to make a clear decision as to whether to proceed with the surgery recommended. I opted for the surgery and now some 3 months later feel much better.
