Mr Sultan gives you the time to ask the questions you need to ask and gives you the answers in detail as far as he can. He gives you confidence in his ability and listens to ALL you have to say. He also treats you like a human being and is open to a 'bit of banter'. I am very pleased to have met him and grateful for what he has done for me.

Mr. Javed Sultan is a Consultant Oesophago Gastric Surgeon at the Royal Surrey County Hospital having moved in March 2014 from the Northern Oesophago Gastric Cancer Unit, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne. A brief summary of his previous experience and achievements is listed on the bmihealthcare.co.uk website. I had been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in January 2014 and this was followed by a course of chemotherapy. Mr. Sultan operated on me on 25/06/2014 - this involved a two phase total oesophagogastrectomy. The approach adopted by Mr. Sultan from the outset was exemplary. Pre-admission, his manner was informative and straightforward . Post-admission, Mr. Sultan kept me well-informed of developments, making frequent ward visits to check on my progress. His style was caring and inspirational, providing the motivation required for increased effort on my part which undoubtedly resulted in a shorter recovery time in hospital. Mr. Sultan receives the highest recommendation from me.
