  • Mr Islam was exceptional from the first outpatient visit explaining all of the possible options, risks and potential outcomes in such a way that I was able to make an informed decision with regard to a total knee replacement.

  • Mr Islam was systematic, calm and thorough throughout my long journey from diagnosis of bilateral hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis to total hip replacement. At 47, this was a huge decision, but his experienced, careful and authoritative approach made me feel reassured and listened to throughout. After 12 years of pain and disability affecting every aspect of life, I can now function, work, live and WALK again. Deeply grateful.

  • I had 6 month follow up appointment with Dr Islam today. I left the hospital feeling very satisfied with both Dr. Islam's friendly manner and the information and advice given. Whilst under Dr Islams care he also diagnosed me with a condition that had previously been missed. I have now been referred to a specialist clinic and being treated accordingly. Thank you Dr Islam.
