Mr Ehab Bishay

Written by a patient at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital

What can I say, he is INCREDIBLE! I had my ravitch procedure carried out in November at Birmingham heartlands hospital by Mr Bishay and his amazing team. Upon consultations he explained everything thoroughly, answered every question I had to the highest standard and put me at ease completely and gave me chance to make my mind up on the different procedures. He then went on to fix my dip in my chest (pectus excavatum) in which has been beyond a success. No dip in sight. The ravitch procedure was the perfect procedure for me to have which he advised me to go for. The scar is minimal and will never be seen once it has healed. Mr bishay has worked wonders, how he fixed me from such perfect incision has baffled me! iNCREDIBLE! He has made me the happiest I’ve ever been. Pain I’d say was a 5/10 on the worst of days, pain management was amazing. Overall, I honestly can’t sing his praises enough. He has made me physically and mentally better in every way possible. He deserves a life full of happiness. Mr bishay- I cannot thank you enough!

Operated on September 2nd 2019. Initially diagnosed with prostate cancer subsequent further investigations proved I was diagnosed with lung cancer which had to take priority (both primaries). On researching consultants Mr Bishay rose-up to the top of my list. Following introduction and a first consultancy we (wife and myself) immediately knew he was the correct choice. From this first consultation his ease of communicating direct core information and the timely vital care plan put in place he gave us full confidence. However what really impressed was that even under these times of known stressed resource his networking of skilled colleagues meant that the whole process from diagnosis through biopsy, surgery and recovery was very quick and appeared seamless. Mr Bishay and his team performed the VATs lobectomy at the Priory Hospital, Edgbaston and three days later I was back home able to rely upon paracetamol only. Probably could have gone home sooner but reluctant following such major surgery. General recovery was incredibly quick. We cannot thank Mr Bishay and his team of skilled professionals enough. Final note a big thank you to Hartlands Hospital. If only all the other hospitals I have visited through my illness had such great friendly and accommodating staff it would almost be a pleasure to be ill. Thank you Mr Hussain (biopsy) all of the staff and your colleagues at Hartlands Hospital, Birmingham.

I was referred to Mr Bishay from another thoracic surgeon, Dr Hunt. I had chronic pain in my chest since childhood and had been fobbed off from all of the doctors I had seen and was fated to be on pain killers for the rest of my life. I went to see Mr Bishay in one of his clinics at Birmingham and he was very understanding and wanted to help me from the get go. As my condition was pretty unusual he performed the xiphoid process removal under the understanding that it may not help, but he was willing to try which was more than any other doctor had offered in the past. Thankfully the surgery was a success and I haven't taken any prescription pain medication since recovery. I cannot thank or recommend Mr Bishay more.

A massive thank you to Mr Bishay, from the very start he made sure I understood everything that was going to happen and put my mind at ease if there was anything that I was concerned about, after the surgery he ensured my aftercare was the very best and personally ensured I was receiving the right treatment. Once again thank you.

I count myself fortunate indeed that Mr Bishay took on the surgical treatment of my lung cancer, a case some others had considered inoperable. From first contact with he and his team and all the way through, I felt so well informed and reassured that in retrospect my pneumonectomy surgery itself seemed like plain sailing, astonishing for one of the more complex surgery procedures undertaken, and a testament to this gifted surgeons skills. Out of hospital after 3 days, and now 12-months on, I hardly know I have had lung surgery unless I try something particularly strenuous, surely the mark of a very fine surgeon's work. Mr Bishay also has an easy communication style in his consultation sessions so it is remarkably easy to discuss complex medical matters with him without the "Specialist" barrier getting in the way. I would not have the slightest hesitation in placing myself in his very capable hands in the future if ever the need should arise.
