Mr Attar is second to none. He has looked after my father for years and has performed surgeries such as prostate biopsies, kidney stone removals, cystoscopies and most recently a TURP.
Mr Attar is attentive, considerate, clear and concise when explaining management plans, side effects, complications and what the procedure/ surgery entails. He goes above and beyond for his patients, checking in on them throughout the day as well as evenings, weekends and even when he is out of town. We will always be grateful to him for all that he has done for our family. I would warmly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent urologist.

I have seen Mr Attar at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. He is diligent and professional in his manner, taking the time to explain in detail the condition and treatment. He is always accommodating and thorough in his approach. A genuinely kind and caring surgeon.

I’m very grateful for having Dr Attar as my doctor in what was a potentially stressful situation. Dr Attar was extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. I was impressed with the level of care and the time and attention he provided. He advice was clear, direct and comforting. No one wants to have prostrate issues but having Dr Attar there to help you navigate your situation is very assuring.

Profile
Hama is a consultant urological surgeon who has been awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Patient Care for many consecutive years. He is the Head of the Department of Urology/ Clinical Lead for Urological Services at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in Central London. He is also one of the lead urologists at the Cromwell hospitals and the Lead of the London Lithotriptor Unit at the same Hospital. He runs a busy practice both in the NHS and the private sectors.
In addition to general and diagnostic urology (especially prostate and bladder cancers), he has an interest in treating complex kidney stones and kidney urothelial tumours using minimally invasive techniques and laser technology. He also specialises in treating urinary tract strictures using the same approach. Prior to becoming a consultant urologist, he undertook extensive training in Endourology and Stone Surgery at the Institute of Urology at University College London Hospital. He treats patients with kidney stones from both across the UK and internationally.
He is very keen on academic activities and regularly teaches on different urological courses for junior urology trainees and nurses. He has published over 30 scientific papers which he has presented in various international meetings and his work on the subject of vasectomy has contributed to changing practice. He has obtained his Masters degree in urinary incontinence disorders from the University College London. He also spent one year doing his research post in Neuro-Urology at the Spinal Injury Unit at the renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore where he gained a vast experience in treating various urological conditions such as kidney and bladder stones, bladder overactivity, urinary incontinence, recurrent infections and erectile dysfunction.
He is the training firm lead and a regular examiner for Imperial College medical students at Chelsea and Westminster, Charing Cross and St Mary's hospitals. In his clinical practice, he creates an active team-working environment which translates into providing the best possible quality of care and outcomes for his patients. He leads a super dynamic team of senior and junior urologists, urology advanced nurse practitioners and urology clinical nurse specialists at his NHS base of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
