Mr Amen is a very talented, ‘put you at ease’, great surgeon. I had been under a different consultant for 12 years, but when I needed my operation I was put on his Friday afternoon list. I was extremely anxious on the day of surgery and dreading but needing my throat operation as eating had become very problematic with my growing pharyngeal pouch. I was very concerned about not knowing him, him not knowing me, and being on the end of presumably busy week, but I need not have worried. I met him on the day of my surgery and he was calming, kind and focused. He explained that if he couldn’t do the booked surgery he would not do the procedure and he would book in for another time as it would be much bigger surgery and give me time to prepare. I explained that I had a good knowledge of both alternatives but couldn’t bear getting to this point again and asked that he do whatever was needed that day, 9 Nov 2018 at Peterborough City Hospital. He listened intently and agreed to do whatever he could. I ended up having to have the external pharyngeal pouch surgery, with feeding tube for a week. He did a fabulous job with internal stitches only and external glue which has all healed brilliantly with a scar along the crease line of my neck which is already barely visible. This was a difficult and challenging operation and could have had complications with my throat and voice box but it hasn’t. He is a top guy and he knows he has my eternal thanks for doing such a brilliant job and for engaging with someone he had never met before. Thankyou Mr Furrat Amen. A very very excellent surgeon and my care for my 8 day hospital care was excellent too. The anaesthetist was also fantastic and listened to my previous anaesthetic experiences and managed to avoid all nausea and previous traumas. A great team. Karen S. Posted 12 Jan 2019. Ps, the only thing that hurt and was sore, was my canular which he didn’t do !!! Lol
