Mr Alaa Talaat

Written by a NHS patient at Homerton University Hospital

I saw Mr Talaat for treatment of Breast Cancer. Not only do I have every confidence in his knowledge, but his manner and sense of humour make the exercise relaxing and almost like nothing to worry about. Obviously I am no expert but it would seem to me that his medical excellence along with that of the team surrounding him is having a great bearing on my cancer pathway. It sounds weird to say that it is a pleasure seeing them all but that's what it was. The physical after effects of the excision have been minimal. This was my second cancer diagnosis in less than a year and the emotional effects have been rather harder to bear than the physical ones. However the patience and kindness of all of the clinical and admin staff has been such that even this is bearable. I am relieved to have this team involved. Please note that I was seen by the team at Southmead Hospital but this option was not available on the drop down list so I selected another (I used to live very near to Homerton!_) so that I could proceed.

I went to the Breast Care Clinic about a breast implant, fitted 10 years previously which was causing me discomfort. Mr Talaat listened to me and what I was asking, to have the implant removed. He discussed the fact that the implant was still good and had no issues but still started the process of having it removed. I was very fortunate and was called within a few weeks for surgery which he carried out successsfully. I am now in less discomfort, following surgery, than the implant was causing which is great. When I returned to have the drain removed by a nurse he saw me in the waiting room and took me through to do the drain removal himself, with absolutely no discomfort, unlike the previous two times I'd had drains removed. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Talaat and very much appreciate all that he has done for me, listening to me and taking action.

I am extremely grateful to Mr Alaa Talaat for the care and kindness shown to me, from my first consultation to my post op. appointment. He took the time to explain the procedure and I was immediately at ease. He also gave me the time to answer my questions. I felt I was in the care of a truly professional person and he lightened the whole experience with his sympathetic and jovial approach. Thank you to Mr. Talaat and his team.

Dr Alaa Talaat is a very kind and hilarious doctor. He does his best to get rid of any form of nervousness and replaces it with ease, assurance and laughter. My surgery was perfect, the post surgery wasn’t even as painful as I imagined, no infections and my recovery was fast. There was no scar and it was difficult to even find the site of surgery. He does a great job, keeps the atmosphere lively and very kind at that Every doctor should be like Dr Alaa Talaat

Upon meeting Mr Alaa Talaat I found him to be friendly, courteous and very professional. He listened to my concerns with empathy and compassion and acted on his findings promptly and skillfully. He made me feel at ease and I had faith he was the right person to carry out my operation, which has proved to be a success. From my first consultation to post op Mr Talaat and his colleagues have given me first class treatment which I am very grateful for.
