I have seen this doctor in clinic, he has performed surgery on me, and I have seen him in ward rounds (The Christie Hospital Manchester). All contact with him has been very positive. He explains things clearly and is reassuring. I was able to ask any questions I wanted and I felt he treated me as an individual, with respect and care.

Mr Aziz made my care very personal. He communicated well with all of my family throughout my stay at The Christie. He has changed my life for the better and I cannot thank him enough.
