- I saw Mr Khazali at Nuffield in Woking for my first consultation after researching into him and seeing reviews praising his compassion. I was petrified that he was going to be like other doctors and ignore me. From the first handshake and greeting I could tell he cared. Mr K was the only Dr who did a physical exam whilst also listening to my past experiences. I was overwhelmed with joy at his compassion and care for the symptoms I had. I look forward to receiving next steps with him. Thank you!
- Such a kind and knowledgeable consultant. Highly recommend Mr Khazali and his team after seeing many specialists who didn’t even suggest endometriosis after years of debilitating symptoms.
- I feel incredibly fortunate to have been treated by M Khazali and his team. As one of the few specialists of endometriosis in Europe, his expertise and compassionate care have made a significant difference in my health and well being. We need more like him!
- I feel so happy to have had surgery with Mr. Khazali. He and his entire team looked after me so well. The operation went really well. I think Mr Khazali is a fantastic surgeon and I’m also grateful for his brilliant team especially the physios who are amazing!
- From the moment I had my first consultation with Dr Khazali I felt listened to and he really cared. Words can't describe how life changing this was for me. A massive thank you to Leandri and Flo! your work does not go unnoticed and to the staff at HCA Renier & Geena thank you!
- I can only express the highest praise I received from Mr Khazali. I was referred to him for complex care, he was exceptionally skilled, informative, compassionate and truly listened to me and my concerns. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care he provided, thank you
- I had a very good experience with my first consultation over Zoom, with Mr Khazali. As it was online, I cannot comment on the facilities & waiting time in clinic but the admin support was excellent & the Zoom was on time with clear instructions. Thank you.
- Mr Khazali is amazing! Couldn't recommend him highly enough. Brilliant at what he does and very knowledgeable.
- I has a zoom consultation, which was extraordinary convenient. I thought Dr.Khazali is very patient focused from our meeting. I also thought his staff were very friendly ad efficient.
- I underwent a hysterectomy performed by Mr Khazali at Lister Hospital. I do not know how to express properly how grateful I am for his treatment and care. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, kind and professional .I felt blessed to be under his care, and couldn't be in safer hands. I also want to thank Mr Karim (the colorectal surgeon who also operated me for endometriosis in the bowel) who also has been very kind and patient during our consultation and made me feel in very safe hands too. I also want to thank the whole Lister nurse team (Angela,Thiago, Nerissa, Elisabeth, Anisia, they were more, sorry if I do not recall all names) they all did a great job, were helpful and caring ,made me feel well looked after. And thanks to wonderful Leandri, a super nurse specialist, competent and knowledgeable who helped me so much before and after the operation. An amazing team.
