I was referred to Osama for a Nissen Fundoplication through the NHS. The assistance and direction given by Osama's support team through the initial discussions about my condition and in the lead up to the surgery date was great . The surgery was performed within a very reasonable timescale although at a time of significant upheaval in the NHS with strikes etc. The pre-op discussion with Osama was informative and reassuring. The surgery was performed swiftly and with no complications and followed within a few hours by Osama coming onto the ward to check on progress and just summarise what had been achieved and the next steps. My recovery has been good and I have had two follow up sessions with Osama since the surgery to check on progress (at 4 weeks and 3 months). Additionally I am reassured that if there are any concerns and questions then Osama has confirmed he is happy to take a call from me direct to seek input or advice without having to first go through my GP. Osama is obviously skilled as a surgeon in this 'GI' area but additionally and importantly has a positive 'bed side' manner being informative, reassuring, and relaxed in his discussions and communications. I particularly appreciated his 'down to earth' approach and genuine interest in me and what the surgery had achieved for me. The procedure has been life changing in a positive way for me and whilst there are some changes that I will need to make in my lifestyle these are minor compared to the significant benefits to my quality of life.
