4th November 2015


On the 23rd of September, I was admitted into the Royal Surrey Hospital for an Esophagectomy after a sudden diagnosis of Esophageal cancer. It was here where the exemplary care started. It was Mr Javed Sultan, the Consultant, that informed me from the outset what will happen over the coming weeks and what I needed to achieve in order to come through this. Having made the progress needed for a major operation, Mr Sultan confirmed it would happen. My operation was performed by Mr Sultans. The aftercare was also excellent. Mr Sultans' professionalism and attention to detail gave me so much encouragement that I would come through this cancer as his awareness of my condition, I believe, is second to none. Along with the assistance of his wonderful team, I am now recovering extremely well and not where I thought I would be initially in my convalescence. The consummate professionalism and care of Mr Sultan and his team has helped to saved my life and I thank them all.

I was operated on by Mr Javed Sultan on 16th September 2015. He was very honest with me & my wife. He explained what would happen before, during & after the operation. I was in hospital for 8 days in total & every morning & every evening Mr Sultan would visit to check on my progress. He would always listen to what I had to say or any concerns I may have had. After my eleven & a half hour operation Mr Sultan phoned my wife to reassure her that everything went well & I was doing ok. Mr Sultan is a very friendly, approachable man & extremely professional. He comes with the highest recommendation from me & my wife.

Dr Javid Sultan is a highly skilled Surgeon who operated on me in November 2014. Without his knowledge, judgement and skill, I would not be here today and I thank him sincerely for that. Furthermore, once the tissue had healed, I had no residual pain or discomfort of any kind and have been able to resume my usual active life. A great testament to his abilities. He also has very good interpersonal skills (maybe it's referred to as a good bedside manner!) and has been very straight and honest with me in all our follow-up meetings. I would recommend him highly should anyone be in the unfortunate position of needing a Gastro operation in his specialised discipline. Rob Champion 6th July 2015.

Mr. Sultan explained everything, listened and answered any queries from myself and my husband and was very approachable. He had a very nice relationship with other members of staff. Generally a very nice man and a good surgeon.

Mr Sultan operated on me and did an open mesh repair of a large right inguino-scrotal hernia. It was a complete success and I was delighted with the result. I have had no problems whatsoever. Mr Sultan has a nice relaxed style and I found him most reassuring. The operation took place at Mount Alvernia Hospital in Guildford where I was treated very well.
