Omar is my real life superhero, and I told him that! I was very unexpectedly diagnosed at age 36 with a clival chordoma by a different hospital who couldn't give me much information. But as soon as I was transferred to Salford Royal and met Omar, I knew I was in the best hands in the world. Literally! He was so calm, kind, understanding, knowledgeable and he and his brilliant team made me feel so safe. I never once thought I was facing the end because I had such faith in him and his team. They explained the whole process in so much detail & I really appreciated their honesty and candour. Omar has such a brilliant bedside manner and is very approachable. My family also appreciated the excellent quality of his communication and his supportive approach. I underwent 14 hours of endonasal surgery and it went brilliantly. I was told by my (equally brilliant) Oncologist that there are probably only 2 or 3 other people in the WORLD who can do what he does. My follow-up care, including regular scans and easy access to and support from his team, has also been exceptional. What can you say about the man who literally saved your life?! He's my hero and I will always be indebted to him.
