Similarly to other patients, I had an all-day operation performed by Mr Sultan and his team. Mine was on 21st May last year. He was very approachable before the operation and his care and attention afterwards was exemplary. He came in to see me every day during the 8 days in hospital even on the bank holiday. He always explains what is going on and made my wife and daughters feel very welcome. I have seen him a couple of times since the surgery and he is just the same - friendly, fun to talk to but at the same time very professional.
I hope that I will not need surgery like this again but if it happened I would be delighted to be in his care a second time.

Mr. Javed Sultan is the Consultant Oesophago-Gastric Surgeon at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. I had been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in Sept 2014 and this was followed by a course of chemotherapy. Mr. Sultan and his team operated on me on 25/02/2015 - this involved a two-phase oesophagogastrectomy lasting over 9 hours.
Pre-admission consultations I found Mr. Sultan’s approach extremely professional. his manner was informative and straightforward.
Post Chemotherapy: I was asked by Mr. Sultan to join his new 6 week pre-habilitation exercise regime designed to build up my strength in key areas of my body and improve my cardio vascular to aid me with dealing with the surgery and allow me to retain strength particularly in my upper body and legs post surgery to enable speedier recovery.
Post Operation: Mr. Sultan kept me well informed of developments, making frequent ward visits to check on my progress. His style was caring and inspirational, providing me with the additional motivation required for increased effort on my part, which resulted in a shorter recovery time in hospital – 8 days from surgery to leaving the hospital.
During the whole process, Mr. Sultan always made my wife feel very welcome and at ease during my consultations and when she was visiting me post surgery.
It also has to be said that Mr. Sultan’s entire team, as well as the staff particularly within the ICU unit, were excellent in all respects of my care at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
It's a long recovery period from this surgery (my appointment with the Bus) for me and, so far, I have had no issues or problems, which I believe is entirely down to his skills as a surgeon - he has saved my life.
Mr. Sultan receives the highest recommendation from me.

As part of a hernia investigation, I was diagnosed with a cancer tumour in my oesophagus, where it joins the stomach - such a shock. Mr. Sultan and his team removed of 1/2 of oesophagus and 1/2 the stomach in an 11 hour operation at the beginning of January.
I found Mr. Sultan professional, with a no frills approach of "telling it like it is" with risk and implications well explained. He was much in evidence during my time in hospital, checking on my recovery and encouraging me to push harder to get back home sooner.
It's a long recovery period and, so far, I have had no real issues which must be a testament to his skills as a surgeon - he saved my life.

I was phoned by Mr Sultan on evening after he had operated on my husband to reassure me that everything was ok.
Mr Sultan was brilliant, he always made a point of coming to see me when I came to visit my husband to give me an update on how he was. He was always happy to answer any questions that I had.
Very friendly and approachable and helpful to the extreme.
When visiting clinic after operation Mr Sultan still very helpful. Making sure that everything is ok and seeing if there is anything that he can do.
