Mr Shahab Siddiqi

Written by a patient at Broomfield Hospital

Bowel problems are difficult to discuss owing to their sensitive nature, but Mr Siddiqi has such a genuinely kind, courteous and professional manner that put me at ease (as much as is possible) at every consultation. It is very unusual to feel that a doctor actually takes a personal interest in the wellbeing of his patients, so Mr Siddiqi should be commended for making me feel that he genuinely cared about improving my condition, and indeed I feel that he did his utmost to achieve the best result possible. I shall always be grateful for the life-changing treatment he provided. I felt extremely safe in his care and would highly recommend him as a surgeon, both for his skill and his manner.

Any colorectal problem can seem embarrassing for the person experiencing it as it's not always a topic people like to speak about, but seeking professional help can sometimes seem even more embarrassing having to share this problem with a complete stranger. I was so worried about my first consultation, but on meeting Mr Siddiqi as a private patient at Springfield Hospital, his professionalism and reassurance put me at ease straight away. He fully explained each examination or procedure which helped me to understand exactly what was wrong and what could be done to correct it, there was no pressure to go through with any procedure and enough information was provided enabling me to make an informed decision before agreeing to go ahead. An example of how Mr Siddiqi really goes above and beyond for his patients was following a recent major operation I had at Broomfield Hospital. I was required to stay in hospital for 4-5 days and on the day following surgery Mr Siddiqi took the time to visit me on the ward to see how I was feeling and to inform me how the surgery had gone. He also stayed in touch each day whilst I was in hospital to see how my recovery was going and told me if I had any problems or issues during that time or upon my return home to contact him. I have never come across a medical professional who really goes all out to for his patients and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a colorectal specialist. I would also like to mention Mr Siddiqi's secretaries, they have been so helpful throughout and nothing is ever too much for them, they really are a credit to him.

I have found Mr Shahab Siddiqi to be very professional in his approach, explaining everything to me in detail at every stage of my treatment. This has allowed me to be in control of my situation without the feeling of being uncertain of what is happening to me. This has paid particular benefit to my mental health, which is all important when you have Cancer. Mr Siddiqi has a very good manner with his patients putting them at ease, he comes across as very calm; controlled and shows a deep depth of knowledge. He is very accessible allowing me to call or email direct when I have concerns. One area that particularly struck me was that he consults and listens to colleagues respecting their opinions, which has translated down to my treatment. Anybody in his care is in very safe hands in my opinion .

excellent doctor, he really listens to you and what symptoms you have then he really works hard to help you, he gives one treatment and if that doesn't work he really tries to give another treatment, he works at every possible treatment to try and workout which one works best for you, i would strongly recommend this doctor.
