Thanks to Mr. Bittar & his team, the valve replacement & aorta repair operation I had twelve weeks ago has enabled me to start 'living' again. The preop & after care was excellent & I really appreciated the time & consideration shown throughout by Mr. Bittar. His calm & caring manner & willingness to answer any questions made me feel confident about having surgery & that I was in 'good hands'. Many thanks again.
Can not praise Mr Bittar highly enough. My husband had been told he wasn't suitable for the operation for his lung cancer and he would just receive palliative care.
Mr Bittar said he would Step up to the challenge and therefore saved his life.
To add to this apart from being a brilliant surgeon you could not wish to meet a nicer man We are so grateful to have been seen by him and get the chance of life which up until then had been taken away.
Mr bittar is a caring surgeon. He gives you all the information you need and makes sure you understand everything that is going to happen. He is professional, diligent and puts you at ease giving you confidence. He is amazing. He's given me my life back.
Mr.Bittar was incredibly quick & precise in every aspect of my case. I suffered much less in the aftermath of a double by-pass than I did from the flu, a few weeks later. Follow-up checks were also quick & efficient. I am extremely grateful for his work, and feel I have a new body & a new life.
I was treated exceptionally well in every aspect of surgery and post surgery , I could fault Mr Bittar and his team
Profile
I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, my practice is mixed. In cardiac surgery I have a special interest in aortic surgery, minimally invasive aortic surgery, I also perform the general cardiac operations ( CABG, OPCAB and valve surgery). In thoracic surgery, I deal with chest wall, lung, pleural and mediastinal surgical diseases. I have special interest in the minimally invasive approach (video assisted thoracoscopic procedures-VATS lobectomy) and fractured ribs fixation.
I am interested in research; my qualification is a Medical Doctorate M.D. from Manchester University in 2007. My thesis was based on inflammatory response to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This response was linked to certain genotypes of a certain polymorphisms.
My current affiliation is with the University of Salford, I am collaborating with researchers studying the myocardial cell dysfunction, the inflammatory response and its effect on the conduits that used in cardiac surgery.Recently I was appointed as a professor (Hon)@ the University of Salford.
