- From the first consultation Mr Mahmud explained the knee injury that I’d suffered and why surgery was essential. He came to see me prior to surgery and I was totally reassured that he was going to repair the injury and do his best for me to recover to previous activities. I was only in surgery for a short time even though my meniscus tear was considered complex. I had a follow up six weeks later and he was so reassuring with the progress I’d made. I fully recommend him for all knee injuries.
- Fantastic experience with Mr Mahmud. He was very professional, explained everything clearly and we had fantastic treatment. I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you!
