- Mr Omar and his PA Kyla have provided me an excellent experience. From the start, it was no trouble to arrange short notice appointments, get me into Kings private ward double-quick, and perform the necessary surgery. The private ward was small but well-staffed and I felt well cared-for. Follow up care has been very good, Kyla enquires regularly and proactively into my health and recovery and any queries I have are followed up promptly and courteously.
- Dr Omar is very knowledgeable, attentive and caring
- Mr Omar provided exceptional care to my 19 year old daughter suffering with a kidney stone. He was kind, empathetic, explained everything clearly and his after care has been second to none.
- Incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring consultant who takes the time to explain complex issues in simple to manage language and it's clear this man is at the top of his field. Very friendly and approachable too. Would highly recommend.
- I cannot recommend Dr. Omar highly enough. In October, he performed my TURP procedure to address an enlarged prostate and urinary retention, and the results have been life-changing. From the very first consultation, Dr. Omar was professional, attentive, and took the time to explain every step of the process clearly. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery exceeded all expectations. I finally have my quality of life back.
- A good guy who put me at ease during a procedure I was very nervous about
- I was very apprehensive about being circumcise but after my consultation with Mr Oma I felt very relaxed about the procedure.
- I was treated by Dr. Omar for my TURP procedure, and I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant. From the very first appointment, he was exceptionally professional, calm, and reassuring.
