What our patients say
" "Good efficient service met my time constraints. Nice and friendly. Emma very good. Clinician: Dr McCulloch & Emma Exley (Phlebotomist) Location: Manchester "
Mike Rose , 13/10/2016
" Mr Al Gawad is THE most kind, caring, helpful, sympathetic and understating professional I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Always on hand to answer any questions or worries and always understanding with helpful advice. Nothing seems to be too much for him. He has operated on me and given me my life back, my children their mum back. I am totally overjoyed with the work he has performed on me and I actually still wake some days and think it's all been a dream. I consulted with many surgeons before my operation but Mr Al Gawad stood out with his genuine care, understanding and compassion. I have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so."
