  • My appointment was by video so some of the above ratings are not applicable. However, Mr Saad was knowledgeable and well informed. In addition, equally important for me, he seems to genuinely care about your health, listens and wants to help in the best manner possible, not something I get from all consultants. I would throughly recommend him.

  • Donna Wilson was very friendly and extremely efficient in arranging a very prompt appointment. I was very apprehensive and Mr Saad was extremely understanding and put me at my ease whilst he explained and discussed options available without putting me under any pressure.
