Professor Aziz provided a very caring and attentive service; he explained the procedures very carefully and clearly in advance of the procedure and his follow up care was exemplary.

Professor Aziz took time to meet me at my first consultation and helped reassure me at what was a very anxious time for me. I am struggling to find any part of my treatment where I was anything but delighted with the care and attention from all staff at The Christie.

Prof Aziz and his team provided exceptional care when I was referred for consideration of cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. He fully explained the procedure, the risks and benefits of the surgery, and potential outcomes. He kept me informed throughout my hospital stay and arranged to see me in clinic as soon as possible. At clinic he confirmed that the surgery was successful and my future prognosis is now excellent.
I always felt in safe hands and am very grateful that he and his team treated me so well.

Great care pre and post surgery. He made an unscheduled call to me with some positive results just prior to the weekend which I was so relieved about and which I really appreciated. I have absolute faith in his expertise and ongoing care
