Mr Aziz competence was reassuring during a very stressful and confusing period. He professionally explained the steps ahead to the surgery and the expected changes afterward. The after surgery care was comforting and encouraging including his daily visits/checkups while I was in hospital followed by a couple of phone calls after my discharge and two more checkups. The sudden discovery of my medical condition was terrifying. I am grateful for Mr Aziz professionalism and style which made me feel positive and boosted my recovery. He performed a successful surgery.

Mr Aziz carried out my operation to remove bowel cancer on 30th October 2021, by keyhole surgery and I remained at The Christie for six days , where I was well looked after by all the staff and visited by Mr Aziz on the ward before I was sent home. I was warned before the operation that I only stood a 50/50 chance of survival so was very pleased to realise in the recovery room that I was still alive. The scar is barely visible after five months and I am full of gratitude as I realise I may not be alive if it were not for Mr Aziz and his team.

My surgery was performed by Mr Aziz at the Christie hospital as an NHS patient for a mucocele on the appendix. Myself and my family will always be grateful to Mr Aziz for the wonderful treatment I received from him. From my first consultation he listened to all my concerns, and, answered all my questions with patience and understanding. He carried out my surgery quickly, and, all the arrangements made by his team to enable me to travel to Manchester for surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic worked liked clockwork. The skill with which Mr Aziz conducted the surgery has enabled me to make a full recovery. I was so impressed that my operation was completed on a Friday, and, Mr Aziz was on the ward on both Saturday and Sunday morning to check on my progress. During my post surgery follow up appointment Mr Aziz took time to explain my results in detail, and, immediately put a plan in place for my long term follow up. I have the highest regard for Mr Aziz whom I consider to be not only an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but, also one who is extremely dedicated and treats each patient as an individual and addresses their needs and concerns. I will always be grateful that I was treated by him.

Mr Aziz treated me with great care and understanding when I was very frightened and scared. He listened to my concerns and helped me understand the procedure and it’s consequences. He also communicated with my family to keep them up to date with my recovery. Thankfully, I am now recovering well and I am very grateful for his great care.
