I was fortunate to be referred by my doctor at the Sloane Medical Practice ( Sloane Street SW1 X9PA www.sloanemedicalpractice.com ) to Mr Hama Attar after experiencing acute pain in the side and eventually groin that built up over a number of hours. Mr Attar established via a scan that I had a kidney stone that had travelled from Kidney down the Ureta ( this is what causes the intense pain ) and had stopped short of entering the bladder. Mr Attar monitored this for a few days after prescribing some medication to see if it would help move the stone into the bladder. Unfortunately the stone remained. Due to a urgent family matter that meant I had to travel north and out of reach of Mr Attar's help, he very kindly agreed to perform an operation on a Saturday morning to remove the stone. Approaching 60, I'd fortunately up to this point avoided any operation involving a general anesthetic and any probing internally. Mr Attar was wonderful in explaining fully the procedure and exactly what he was going to do during the operation especially as the 'entry point' would give any man nightmares!. The operation on the day went smoothly and Mr Attar and his team were brilliant explaining everything that was going to happen as soon as I entered the hospital. Post operation Mr Attar came to see me as soon as I was awake and explained again what he did and that the removal of the stone was successful. As a precaution to stop any infection around the area where the stone was lodged, Mr Attar had inserted a 'stent' a tube that ran from the kidney down the ureta into the bladder. A week later Mt Attar removed the stent - about 10 inches long - in procedure that took less than 5 minutes with local anesthetic ( worrying!) but again he explained the procedure and put my mind at rest. A few weeks of slightly uncomfortable bladder feeling, but now fully recovered and all is well. A follow up consultation with Mr Attar for him to share with me the type of stone and how he will monitor my kidney(s) going forward to check to see if I am prone to further stones. I would happily recommend Mr Attar. He is professional and attentive and has great patience when asked lots of questions. He also took time to explain in detail to my wife everything that was going to happen pre and post operation. I also have to be grateful to the teams at Lister, Princess Grace and Chelsea & Westminster - all terrific and wonderful to talk to. Thank you so much! (SZ)

I have been under the care of Mr Attar for two years and during the entire time I have felt safe and very well cared for. I find his bedside manner, and communication skills to be excellent and trust his opinion on the management of my care.
many thanks

I have been a private as well as NHS patient of Mr Attar at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I have always felt confident and relaxed during our consultations, surgical intervention and the follow-up check ups. When, because of time constraint, I was offered the service of another consultant I chose not to do so.
Mr Attar is a very pleasant person who communicates easily, with a smile and makes the patient very relaxed and confident.

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.
