I consider Dr. Hisham Maksoud to be a truly outstanding medical practitioner.His vast medical knowledge, enthusiasm , empathic listening and positivity have been a huge and much valued support to me for over a decade. After struggling with significantly low levels of energy for a prolonged period of time l was eventually referred to Dr. Maksoud. How fortunate l was! With his kind unhurried expert assessment he diagnosed my problem: Hypothyroidism. I felt in very capable professional hands, as l continue to do , and responded well to his treatment as he fine tuned my medication over a period of time. At each consultation Dr. Maksoud explained the physiology of hypothyroidism and l felt with my greater understanding we could work together in its management. Some years passed and my fatigue became more pronounced and, again, Dr. Maksoud listened attentively to my concerns tailoring my medication with positive effect. For some time l felt stabilised but then a deeper fatigue presented along with other symptoms. As l was unable to obtain an appointment with my requested G.P. for some time l contacted Dr. Maksoud‘s secretary and explained my situation. Dr. Maksoud was able to see me that very day. His calm, kind professional assessment resulted in a referral to see a Neurologist who some weeks later confirmed a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. With Dr. Maksoud’s medical expertise and support , and that of the Neurologist , l feel that we can all work together for the best possible outcome. Dr. Maksoud gives me a feeling of security and empowerment which l so appreciate. I know Dr. Maksoud is dedicated to medicine and has a focused and energetic desire to both treat and inform his patients and, hopefully, to inform other medical professionals too. Thank you.
