- I can't thank Mr Arshad enough for everything he has done for me. Since my first appointment with him back in 2023 he has been nothing but compassionate and respectful towards me and my condition.
- Mr Arshad is as kind and approachable as he is knowledgeable. He actually listens. It can be quite daunting going to see a Gynaecologist but Mr Arshad quickly puts you at ease. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Treatment is working - thank you!
- I cannot fault Mr Arshad and the care he provided. He was compassionate, understanding and really listened to my concerns regarding severe pelvic pain and period problems. He immediately knew what steps needed to be taken and guided me through my options. Within a month of meeting him, I’d had an MRI and am now booked in for surgery. I finally felt heard and taken seriously, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support and professionalism.
- Dr Arshad was phenomenal and perfect from strat to finish. I will always be grateful for offering laprascopy and taking my endemetriosis out. Entire staff was extremely supportive and lovely. My anesteologist Dr Turner made me feel so at ease and that was so important since it was my first operation and I was a little nervous. Thank you all!
- Fantastic service from Dr Arshad. He took the time to explain everything to me in great detail and gave me the time that a lot of hospitals have not. Felt completely comfortable with any examinations and all decisions made. Could not recommend enough.Doctor's response -Dear C.D. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me and the public. Really honoured that you had trust in my services to help restore quality back in to your life.
- My experience with Dr Arshad has been incredible. I have battled for years with suspected endometriosis, and have never felt listened to, despite visiting may doctors to explain my symptoms. Dr Arshad was the first person to take my concerns seriously and listen to what I had to say. I ended up having a laparoscopy and they found endometriosis. He is an amazing surgeon and has so much genuine care for his patients. I strongly recommend him.Doctor's response -I am so happy to have been able to give you the service that you deserved and needed with a good outcome. Very pleased that hopefully you can enjoy a better quality of life. Thank you for taking the time to share your journey and review.
- Mr Arshad really listened to me, we discussed everything and was very caring. He offered me the gold standard of endometriosis surgeries which I was very happy with after 12 years of issues with chronic pain and other life impacting symptoms.Doctor's response -Dear G.B thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am pleased to be part of your journey back to health
- Mr Arshad was very supportive, kind and empathetic of my symptoms. He instilled a lot of confidence in me about treatment options and safety support mechanisms and has involved me in decision making regarding treatment.Doctor's response -Thank you for taking the time to reply, give your feedback and share your experience. I wish you well in your health.
