- I have received excellent care from Mr Mohamed Mehasseb. The treatment has been thorough and well explained throughout, and I always felt listened to and supported. He is exceptionally friendly, professional, and reassuring, which made the whole experience much easier. I am very grateful for the high standard of care provided to me.
- Due to heavy traffic I arrived late for my appointment. The reception staff and Mr Mehasseb were so accommodating and ensured I could still have an appointment. Mr Mehasseb was extremely attentive, patient and thorough when explaining my symptoms and diagnosis. He really made me feel comfortable and reassured me that there were no concerns regarding my health linked to being able to fly/go on holiday. This is my second visit to Spire Hospital Liverpool and both occasions have been fantastic.
- Dr makes you feel at ease and understanding makes you feel valued
- Dr Mehasseb was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful during my consultation. I left feeling very informed.
- Kind, concise & thorough. Dr Mehasseb explained the medical language contained in the radiology report and what happens next. He offered reassurances along with his opinion. I have absolute confidence in his expertise.
- I had surgery from the fantastic Mr. Mehasseb. I was scared, and he gave me reassurance in his manner and knowledge. He was respectful from start to finish answeringall my questionsprofessionally. His skill of performing a total abdominal hysterectomy with BSO was perfect. I'm fully healed, scar perfect, and post op appointment went excellently. I'd love to post photos but think thats a tad too much information.
- I have seen Dr Mehasseb quite a few times now for a couple of different procedures. I literally would trust him with my life. He is amazing at what he does and is very kind and patient.
