- Very good appointment. Helpful and on time!
- Mr Uddin is highly knowledgeable. However, if you are sensitive, be aware that his manner is bracing and no nonsense. I found this useful, since the advice he gives is to the point and goes in. I am looking forward to my time under his care.

- GREAT experience with Mr. Uddin and the Moorfields private section. Friendly staff, great environment and I was seen super quickly. Mr Uddin was superbly knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I’ll need surgery and feel confident in having it with him.
