- Very good doctor who I would recommend to a friend if required. Dr Mahmud has an excellent bedside manner who puts his patients at ease with clear and concise communication on your condition and any concerns you may have.
- I had a partial knee replacement with Mr Tahir Mahmud and am extremely pleased with the outcome. My knee pain is much reduced and flexibility has improved significantly. I’ve also noticed less hip pain, likely due to improved knee alignment. Mr Mahmud is clear, honest, and very reassuring, with a genuinely friendly manner. I would highly recommend him.
- Excellent from first consultation in 2017 through to total knee replacement in November 2025. I opted for the Velys robotic assisted surgery and have made an excellent recovery. Highly recommended!
- A kind and sympathetic doctor who did a wonderful job on my injured leg. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Mr Mahmud.
- ACL, LET and meniscus repair. Originally wanted to go through the NHS but an 18 month waiting time for surgery pushed me towards private. I arranged a consultation with Mr Mahmud after meeting him in August as an NHS consult, however towards the end of September I arranged a private consultation and not 2 weeks later I was going for surgery - everything was smooth, felt very comfortable throughout the process, he explained all the risks perfectly and the hard recovery that was too follow.
- I had meniscus surgery with Mr Tahir Mahmud and couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. He was extremely professional, and his surgical skill was outstanding. I was off crutches within a week, which exceeded my expectations. Thanks to him, I’ve got my mobility back. Highly recommended.
- I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Mr Mahmud for truly changing my life after surgery. Going into surgery is one of the most frightening and vulnerable experiences a person can face, and all you can hope for is to be cared for by someone who genuinely understands and cares about what you’re going through. From the very beginning, Mr Mahmud showed nothing but compassion, reassurance, and exceptional professionalism. He went far beyond anything I could ever have expected. Thank you.
- Mr Mahmud has a fantastically reassuring manner. Highly focused on patient outcomes whilst ensuring you know exactly what is being done and why. This was my second ACL reconstruction and involved some additional complexities which he took me through in a way that was easy to understand. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
