Mr Ahmed Hamouda 2017-10-31 Person 5 5 0

I am a 73 year old man who has never had an operation, so was a little concerned about an operation. I was referred to Mr Hamouda with a inguinal hernia via my GP. Mr Hamouda put me at ease with his friendly manner, answering my concerns honestly. I had the NHS operation on 17th October at Somerfield Hospital, Maidstone. I came round from the anesthtic with no after effects. I followed the hospitals advice, regarding pain control via tablets, for 2 days post operation & have been pain free since then ( now 2 ,weeks since op). The waterproof dressing allowed showering & when replaced after a couple of days, showed very little evidence of weeping. The scar has not weeped since & is healing very well. I was advised not to drive for 2 weeks & no heavy lifting for 6 weeks. I cannot thank Mr Hamouda, the theatre & hospital staff enough & would recommend anyone thinking of this operation, or similar, not to hesitate in having Mr Hamouda as your surgeon Thanks again Mr Reynolds
