Mr Ziad Harb

Written by a NHS patient at Ashford Hospital

Have been through a traumatic experience caused by another surgeon x3. Following on having corrective surgery by Mr Harb, although I am still in the recovery phase, everything is beyond my expectation, especially the absence of pain 3 days post operatively, after a bone graft and metal work I was only needed paracetamol.

I am a runner and have suffered with osteoarthritis of my big toe joint since an impact injury just over three years ago. An x-ray revealed that bone spurs had grown around the joint, restricting the movement. Mr Harb explained the options open to me and their pros and cons, and answered my questions patiently. I opted for a cheilectomy procedure to remove the bone spurs. Mr Harb explained what I could expect in the weeks and months following the surgery. The operation went smoothly and the following two weeks were pretty much as expected - all spent sat with my foot elevated. From then though, my recovery advanced much faster than I expected. I was able to walk 1km on a treadmill only 16 days after the operation. I did my first run (2.7km) 22 days after the op, and built up to 5km four weeks post-op. This is apparently much earlier than is common after this kind of procedure. I will exercise caution and limit myself to short distances for several weeks yet though. Mr Harb insists my quick recovery must be due to a disciplined attitude to rehab on my part, but I think most credit must go to him for his excellent surgical skills. For anyone suffering with bone spurs and considering a cheilectomy, I cannot recommend Mr Harb highly enough.

I have severed ny tendon in one of my toes and saw Mr Ziad Harb, he was great at listening to the issues I was having and giving me a range of solutions which ended in the repair of my tendon. I was fully aware of the issues and risks and was comfortable with the decision. I was really happy with the service I received.

I had an operation on my big toe joint - cheilectomy - in June 21. I found Mr Harb so pleasant approachable and skilled. It was a pleasure to see him. The operation which my physio says is difficult, was done superbly. I recovered very quickly. I hope I don’t have to see you again but it would be a pleasure to! Thank you Dr Harb.
