- Mr Mahida I feel such a deep sense of gratitude following the ablation procedure performed by Dr Mahida 4th August at Manchester Spire hospital. I have total admiration for the way he prepared me for the operation and for it's successful outcome
- Dr Mahida was excellent, really put me at ease and took the time to discuss and go through all my options for my Svt, on the day of my surgery he came to see me and discuss what would happen, and really put me at ease, would highly recommend Dr Mahida, very kind and caring Dr
- Dr Mahida has a great bedside manner, calm, considerate, empathic. Face to face he has always been great, but aftercare is poor having had issues with medication prescribed. Spire Manchester is excellent. I have ultimately changed consultants having not made the progress hoped.
- Very happy with all aspects of the service provided by Dr Mahida and his staff.
- An extremely informative consultation visit in a modern facility with friendly staff and no stressing about available parking. Excellent!
- Dr Mahida gave me my life back after treatment for AF, he has made such a difference to me. his support and care plan for me was just what i needed and the care
- Mr Mahida gave me my life back after debilitation AF which he expertly treated. I felt safe, reassured and fully informed all the way along with a plan for my care. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his team when you need care for your heart. Thank you so much.
- Excellent care - especially the selection of treatment and the trouble taken to minimise pain
- After about 2years delay on the NHS with no real outcome and sitting at home with an oxymeyer on my finger reading my heartbeat of 168 my son said you have to go private .Dr mahida was my obvious choice . Within 2 weeks he had transformed my life from black to white .
- I had a procedure to address my atrial flutter at Manchester Spire Hospital. Performed by Dr Mahida, both he and the medical team provided excellent care and professionalism throughout my journey and secured a successful outcome. Highly recommended.
