My experience in the care of Mr Mustansir Alibhai from initial consultation to discharge was first class.

An amazing and highly skilled surgeon, Mr Alibhai offers an unparalleled level of care and support to his patients. A true gem among the doctors/surgeons. I was referred to him for my parotid gland tumor by a pioneer consultant in this field as Mr Alibhai performs this type of surgery quite often. On my first consultation with Mr Alibhai, he detailed what my condition was and what the procedure for removal of tumor involves, answering all my questions patiently. He made sure that I got a slot for surgery soon without delay and he was even available for a call to answer all my queries before the surgery. Its is quite clear from my experience that Mr Alibhai puts the clients needs and comfort above his revenue. The day of the surgery he detailed the procedure to me and made sure I am comfortable. If I had any apprehensions on the day, it just disappeared with his visit. After the surgery he contacted my husband to convey how the surgery went . These gestures make such a difference. He met me post surgery and made sure that I am ok and all the checks went well. He made sure that I was taken care of in the first few weeks post surgery. He has an amazing team working with him to ensure that. He called himself to convey the pathology results (rather than just sending the results ) and made sure the removal of stitches and wound check went well. I had very minimal pain following advices from him and the team and I see my recovery was very smooth. I am so grateful to have been referred to Mr Alibhai.

My first operation and I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant and surgeon. Mr Alibhai is clear and communicative as well as professional and empathetic. I had an easy recovery with thanks to the care provided by Mr Alibhai.

I’m very grateful to Mr Alibhai for his excellent care. I had an extraction of a supernumerary tooth and had struggled to find a surgeon who would feel comfortable extracting the tooth given how close to a nerve it was. Everything was well explained and Mr Alibhai answered all my questions ahead of the procedure. I had less pain after the procedure than I did for much less complicated gum grafts, and everything healed really well. Can’t recommend Mr Alibhai enough both in terms of his surgical expertise and emphathetic, caring approach which put me at ease.
