Mr Riaz Agha

Written by a carer at Stoke Mandeville Hospital

I was very pleased with the way Dr Agha treated my 17 month old son who had burns to his hands. I felt his manner was very child friendly and he gave us a lot of knowledge about the burns and how they would heal. I also appreciated him giving us a direct dial telephone number should my child show any symptoms of a potential infection so that gave us peace of mind that we could talk to him quickly and not have to make numerous calls and be passed around.

I was generally very pleased with Dr Riaz Agha, who saw me after I had been to A&E with a hand injury. He took a genuine interest in me and advised on the options I had. My only other comments are that he was obviously very hard pressed, I had a long wait to see him. It was explained that he had an urgent case to deal with which is fine, but even when I got to the consulting room he still needed to leave me alone there for almost 20 minutes. When I actually had the surgery two days later I had a different plastic surgeon who undertook a different procedure from that suggested by Dr Riaz, which involved more reconstruction. It took longer and will potentially look better when healed, although I have to be off work for longer, so I am pleased about that. But I can understand why the simpler one was suggested first and don't count that against Dr Riaz.

Dr Agha took a full history of the circumstances relating to my injury. We reviewed the x-ray that had been taken, and discussed the possible result and implications. The wound was cleaned, assessed and dressed. Further surgery was discussed and options fully explained, together with post operative care. All my questions were answered in a clear and precise manner.

Dr Agha treated my 92 year old mother with compassion, care, consideration and a sense of humour. It is a stressful experience for a person of this age having to attend hospital but Dr Agha was very reassuring, extremely helpful and patient. Unlike many doctors he was easy to talk to and explained everything to both my mother and myself. He is a great asset to the NHS and the Team at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Thanks for the wonderful service you gave us.

I arrived at Stoke Mandeville hospital on 15 July in a terrible way after having a diep (breast reconstruction and 12 hours of surgery) with an extremely high temperature, back lock, sickness and generally feeling like I wanted to die! I cannot tell you how pleased I was to see a doctor Dr Agha. Little did I realise I had an infection. Dr Agha examined me and to this day I will never forget what he told me! With complete confidence and assurance he said "Mrs O'Connor I promise I will make you better". With tears in my eyes full of pain and fearfulness I trusted his promise. I can now report that after 11 days of treatment by Dr Agha I can happily report that I am home, thanks to Riaz. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he constantly visited my beside to treat the infection, even working throughout the night, attending to dressings, pain management and above all patient reassurance that I would get better Dr Agha, I owe you everything and I would like to thank you personally for your pure dedication to your patients and above all for making me feel well again. Good luck with your future and from my partner and I a big, big thank you. With all the breast cancer and operations out of the way, we can now happily arrange our wedding which sadly had to be cancelled last year. My sincere thanks Sylvia O'Connor
