Mr Tahir Mahmud

Written by a patient at Spire Regency Hospital Macclesfield

Unfortunately due to 15 years competing in extreme sports I have had my fair share of injuries, The ACL reconstruction last year performed by Mr Tahir Mahmud was definitely up there with one of the longest and hardest operation/recoveries I’ve dealt with. Mr Mahmud made it much easier from the start of the process to deal with and resolve the injury, He worked with myself to arrange the surgery around events and trips away and was more than happy to rearrange the schedule after a last minute opportunity that was dropped on me to take part in sport in America, which didn’t actually go through but there was never any hard feelings of wasting his time. Mr Mahmud was really understanding that sports meant a lot to me and seemed really interested in getting me back on my feet as soon as possible which was a huge confidence boost after the negative information I’d heard from friends and others that had had the same injury. Spire hospital and Mr Mahmud made the couple of days in hospital for the surgery a Very comfortable environment, I was first down to theatre on the day of the op which always helps with nerves and before that in the early morning I was guided and talked through what was happening by Mr Mahmud Himself in basic terms so I could understand the procedure as best as I could. After the operation the recovery was hard and a long process to get back to full fitness, Mr Mahmud was great in showing interest and guiding me through what was best to get going and what to and not to do to avoid any further injury. A few months went by after the ACL reconstruction and something wasn’t quite right with my knee which was no fault of Mr Mahmud, he was more than happy to get me in and check it out immediately and that led to further key hole surgery that he was very quick to organise himself rather than the usual route of the NHS which would of been a much longer resolution, I was in and out for surgery within a month of the call regarding the problem and everything was well. I’m now just a year down the line touching full fitness and I’ve miraculously managed 7 months of sports and activity since the surgery in October last year which I was worried that wouldn’t happen. Not only was Mr Mahmud a great help to me and a very professional man to deal with throughout my ACL reconstruction he gave the exact same service to my younger brother who was having the same surgery due to a very similar injury as myself, Mr Mahmud worked with us both to arrange the operations just 2 weeks apart from each other, After the surgery he arranged follow up appointments together to save driving to the hospital separately, saving time down the line for other patients and making the experience much easier allowing us to have the same recovery time to work together to get back to full health Overall a fantastic doctor thats succesfully helped my brother and myself and as importantly to us both was always very welcoming with a smile on his face

My experience was overwhelmingly positive from first consultation to advice and information through to surgery and post op follow up. I felt listened to and well informed at every step. Any questions I had were handled with great knowledge but also patience and a calming manner. The procedure was also well organised, preparation was excellent and I was seen afterwards both immediately post op and in follow up to ensure that the operation was a success. Excellent care and a great success and I recommend Mr Mahmud wholeheartedly

I visited Mr Mahmud about a problem with my knee he explained all options and I decided on an arthroscopy. The surgery was very quick and the results are amazing. Mr Mahmud is an extremely professional and caring person who listened to my worries and was able to explain things in terms I could understand. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing this type of surgery.

I first saw Mr Mahmud regarding my hip which was giving me a lot of pain and restriction of movement. Mr Mahmud was very informative regarding my condition and advised that I tried to get as fit as I could prior to my operation to help me recover quicker. This was excellent advice and really helped me after the surgery. I was amazed how little pain there was after the operation and my mobility was very good and I was walking without the aid of crutches after a very short period. I had my operation in July 2019 and made a full recovery by September 2019 and was able to return to exercise daily on a static bike I use in my garage. Mr Mahmud told me that he had carried out the operation with minimum invasive surgery technique which was the reason for such a quick recovery and he was absolutely right brilliant surgeon !!!

Mr Mahmud carried out Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement of my right hip & 7 weeks later, my left hip. This has been a total success. Within hours of the operation, I was up and about. After the first couple of days, paracetamol was enough to manage the pain and in many ways was feeling better than before the operation. Sleeping better, I felt less tired & grumpy (eg happier). I walk more upright and I can now imagine doing things, like climbing Scafell, whereas my thinking was going backwards with my old hips as they were continuously deteriating. Another thing that was important for me, was getting back to work. After each operation I felt ready & did go back in the office after 3 weeks. During the 3 weeks, I had been up and about most of the time & repeating the recommended exercises. So I would like to thank Mr Mahmud & I can confirm quick recovery. This is far better than I had hoped. I recommend Mr Mahmud & his Minimally Invasive technique.
