- Dr Faris performed a laparoscopic cystectomy on me. He is clearly a top level expert in his field and this was reflected in my easy recovery from the procedure. He followed me every step of the way ensuring I was comfortable, informed and recovering well. He is extremely friendly and kind and I really could not recommend anyone more than him. As a 20 year old women who has not previously had any medical difficulties or gynaecological appointments he truly made me feel at ease throughout.
- Mr Faris was amazing and knowledgeable from start to finish. I felt safe and confident with his decisions from consultation through to aftercare. He is also just a lovely doctor to deal with in general. Thank you!!
- Amazing experience at Lister. The consultant can either make or break an experience of ivf. Mr Faris definitely made our experience seamless, thorough investigations, was empathetic and always available to answer any questions. Our cycle was successful and all thanks to Mr Faris
