I would like to praise and thank Mr Bishay for his care, before, during and after my operation in Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. I recommend Mr Bishay for his professional but caring attitude, which put me at ease.

Before I present my review please may I be permitted to give a brief timeline background prior to the first consultation with Mr Bishay.
In December 2017, my wife Brenda had a chest infection, which over the course of several months, affected a nerve in her neck which caused her diaphragm ( right side )
to rise up thereby making her breathing extremely laboured.
From February to April 2018 our G.P. promptly actioned all necessary appointments
at various hospitals, and tests, procedures etc., were carried out.
In June, we saw a consultant physician ( respiratory ), who informed us that nothing could be done, but we would be contacted re arranging breathing exercises in 2--3
months time.
This was devastating news-- but we decided not to accept the "verdict". However
through a close friend, we contacted a secretary at the Priory ( BMI ) Hospital, who arranged a consultation with Dr I M Ismail ( Respiratory Consultant ). He informed us that an operation COULD be performed, and consequently arranged for us to see
Mr Bishay ( Cardiothoracic Consultant Surgeon ). Wonderful ! -- despair to hope !
After two consultations arrangements were made for the operation. Unfortunately, it was not possible for it to take place within the NHS as the waiting time would be at least 6 months.
Brenda's operation was carried out on 29th November, 2018 and was a complete success. That major fact, plus the advice from Mr Bishay regarding essential breathing exercises should enable Brenda to make a good recovery.
We are so VERY thankful to Mr. Bishay for his considerable skills, knowledge and expertise, making it possible for a life to be lived with quality once more. Greatly appreciated too, have been his sensitive care and kindness throughout -- in consultations, in the hospital (pre and post op), and since coming home as well. We can't praise him too highly.
Keith Hall.

Cannot fault Mr Bishay at all he explained everything so clearly and made me feel totally at ease. If I had to go through this journey again I would certainly want him as my surgeon after care was excellent as well.

Like previous reviewers, my family and I were devastated to be told that I had lung cancer, it’s very difficult to be positive even if that’s your natural way of thinking. After being in the system for a couple of months I think I was on the verge of depression, then the confirmation that the cancer had not spread and that curative surgery was an option, wow, then the news that I was being referred to this chap called Mr Bishay!(I should wow again)
I have to say that in my minds eye now, Mr Bishay is little short of godlike in status!
On the first consultation, whilst his demeanour is majestically calm, he is totally honest, says things exactly as they are even if you don’t really want to hear them. But how committed is he to your wellbeing, you get the survival stats n the like but he gives you belief in both your ability to overcome and his to provide and my lord does he provide!!
I’m told that I am one of Mr Bishay’s more challenging patients, surgery that should have been 3/4 hrs extended to 6+, my lung and tumour weighing in at a massive 3.1kg was removed with Mr Bishay safely delivering me to ITC a lot later than planned.
My wife and children were waiting anxiously and as soon as ITC staff took delivery of me, Mr Bishay was with my family with his calming demeanour (albeit a very tired one) giving them the reassurance that, whilst difficult, the surgery had been successful!
He attended me every day prior to my discharge and again, what an attentive, caring and calmly efficient being!!!
My road to full recovery is just beginning, but if you are lucky enough to be referred to Mr Bishay, you could not be in better hands!
