- Excellent surgeon, who is innovative and at the top of his field. Very caring and I would suggest if you have Prostate problems, talk to him first as he is very clear and transparent.
- I had one virtual consultation with the professor. Professor Hashim Uddin Ahmed provided professional and clear explanation to my queries. He listens carefully and provides direct answers to my questions.
- As an international patient, he was quite flexible in providing me with appointments that fit my short stay in the UK. We also used the video option when it was not necessary to come in. Thanks Doctor!!!
- An excellent and re-assuring experience
- My experience with Professor Ahmed was very thoughtful, efficient & positive. Went to the Cromwell Hospital for a 2nd opinion regarding my prostate cancer, the Prof. gave a clear explanation, outlined my options after looking at my MRI scan, gave excellent advice on what would & would not work. Would highly recommend.
