Professor Omer Aziz

Written by a patient at The Christie

For the benefit of future patients, the procedure carried out by Mr Aziz was Cytoreductive Surgery with HIPEC. From our very first meeting, my husband and I found Mr Aziz to be personable, thorough and very clear with necessary information . He made us both feel positive and comfortable, taking time to explain procedures and outcomes, so that we were able to make an informed decision about my future. We found Mr Aziz to be kind and thoughtful, about both my physical and mental wellbeing throughout my stay and subsequently, at follow up appointments. Mr Aziz coordinated my care, and I was visited regularly by him. His team of staff were excellent and continued to make me feel positive and cared for. I am very fortunate to have Mr Aziz as my consultant and would not hesitate to recommend him to future patients. Thank you to all at The Christie.

I was referred to Mr Aziz via my chemotherapy consultant. Upon meeting him both my wife and I found him very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the progression of my operation - full pelvic removal. He fully explained what surgery I needed and why and the impact it would have in me, both during my operation and after. Whilst he was the lead surgeon he took the time to reassure us that the choice of operation was considered by several senior specialist consultants and was the best option to achieve and curative outcome. He explained that it would be a big operation and a team effort to get me back to a normal lifestyle. He was kind and concerned for both my physical and mental wellbeing both at my initial consultation and throughout. During the whole process he helped place me in a positive state of mind, being consistently clear about what I could expect and when, and also made sure I had access to support. This really helped me in the recovery period. I had my operation and after a ten hour stint operating Dr Aziz took the time to call my wife to tell her how it went. I saw him daily both immediately after the operation and in the 2 week period of recovery, even on one weekend. I was monitored daily by two teams a bowel team of consultants and urology team and Dr Aziz coordinated my care. The overall decision going forward was made by Mr Aziz after considering both teams opinions. In addition I must mention the Nurses, auxiliary nurses and domestic assistants all played a major part in my recovery. The Christies is an outstanding place and I am very fortunate to be treated here and feel very lucky. Dr Aziz is still coordinating my care and I feel lucky to have him. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Aziz to future patients. May his time at Christies be long and prosperus.

Could not have had a better doctor . Doctor Aziz has a great empathy with people and put my wife and I at ease as soon as we met him. He discussed everything about my operation at length with us and didn't rush our consultation at all. We both felt very reassured and confident after out meeting. The great care I had by him and his team was a hundred percent and still is. Everyone at Christies hospital have been brilliant.Peter Jacques.Wilmslow

After feeling I was being pushed from pillar to post - no one taking responsibility for me on discovering both a recurrence and another cancer at the same time I was placed under the care of Dr Assiz. I was informed that he was one of the best consultants that I could have at the Christie. Previously, before my initial consultation I had been informed that there was a possibility that I would have palliative care and tumours would not be resected. Thankfully Mr Assiz operated and everything was successfullly removed and I cannot praise him enough. I feel he hides no information and tells you all he can. The choice of whether and when to have surgery was left to me which was highly apprecoated. Hope follow up care is fully explained to me on a continual 6 monthly basis and even if there is no sign of recurrence I continue to receive good care and that I am treated as an individual.

Mr Aziz achieved the best results for my surgery - a complete removal of the tumours and a speedy, complication-free recovery from a large operation. This is in great part due to the excellent patient care that he provides, which encompasses not only the physical side but the emotional aspects of patient recovery. He communicates very well and has made some complicated information accessible to me. No false reassurances; good practical advice. One of his major strengths is that he never patronises his patients. He also has a well-tuned sense of humour - one of the unsung skills of cancer care. Most importantly, he does not mind if patients query his advice. I feel that I can thoroughly trust what he says to me. I am very fortunate to have come under his care. I understand why it is not recommended, but it would help me to see my paperwork/reports prior to the consultation so that I can raise appropriate questions.
