- I have recently had an excellent experience at the Waterfront Private Hospital (and Spire Shawfair Park) in Edinburgh under the expert care of Mr Omar Quaba. I was aware of his surgical skill prior to my initial consultation, having worked with him on occasion, and I am absolutely delighted with the results from my abdominoplasty and mastopexy. My pre and post operative care was excellent and Mr Quaba was always accessible if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him.
- He’s the best surgeon and highly recommend
- I can honestly say that I have never experienced a better hospital or better care. I was listened to, I was spoken to kindly and with respect and each part of my experience was with such care. Often in such vulnerable moments, where it is the most important, care, respect, and communication can get quickly forgotten, and Waterfront Hospital was exemplary. Every member of staff held the same accountability, the same level of detail and the same standards. I would absolutely recommend.
- From start to finish my experience with Omar was second to none. He made me feel comfortable and at ease at every stage of the surgical process, the outcome of which has been life changing for me. I couldn’t recommend him or his clinic more! Thank you Omar.
- Had the best surgical experience with Dr Quaba and his team. The team were very efficient from my first consultation straight through my surgery to my post op review. I was well informed throughout, and everything went exactly as expected. DR Quaba listened to what I was hoping to achieve from my surgery, he discussed thoroughly all the options available to be, listened and was able to achieve the result I was hoping for. It was stress free, efficient and all the staff were very friendly.
- I cannot recommend Mr Omar Quaba and the Waterfront Hospital highly enough. My first experience of private healthcare and it was in every way an excellent experience. Mr Quaba not only is an excellent surgeon but he has a wonderful manner and at every step of the way he put me at ease and was very reassuring throughout the whole process of my Upper Blepheroplasty. I am ‘over the moon’ with the outcome and could not have wished for a more natural and satisfactory result.
- I visited Dr Quaba for my breast augmentation and had a wonderful experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, realistic, and honest, which gave me confidence from the start. The care and support I received before, during, and after surgery from Dr Quaba and his team were exceptional. I felt well looked after every step of the way and would highly recommend them to anyone considering surgery, you are truly in safe hands.
- I had the best care from start to finish with Dr Quaba. He listened to what i was hoping to achieve, was friendly, honest and professional at all times. The results are exactly what I was hoping for and I couldn't be happier with care I received from Dr Omar Quaba and his staff.
- I would definitely recommend Dr Omar Quaba, he is professional and has calming bedside manner. I had implants for 10yrs and lost weight so my own breast tissue had dropped, as well as having massive nipples which always made me self conscious. I had my implants removed and a lift as well as my nipple size reduced. This has made a massive boost in my confidence and results are amazing.
- Mr Quaba is lovely and will put you at ease right away. He is genuinely interested in people and only wants the best for his patients. I know he would not agree to any surgery unless he felt it was the best course of action. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I am so pleased with my results.
