I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Syed Tahir Hussain for varicose surgery on both of my legs, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional treatment I received. From start to finish, the entire process was remarkably smooth and successful. Under Dr. Hussain's expert guidance, the surgery was conducted with utmost precision, resulting in a virtually pain-free experience for me. Remarkably, I didn't require any painkillers post-surgery, and there was no visible bruising either. The healing process was remarkably swift and trouble-free, a testament to Dr. Hussain's skill and dedication to his patients' well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Hussain to anyone in need of vascular care. His professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach make him stand out in his field. If I ever encounter any vascular issues in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to seek his expertise again. Dr. Hussain truly exemplifies excellence in healthcare, and I am immensely grateful for his exceptional care.

Mr Hussian is an excellent specialist! I saw him regarding lymphatic issues and he was very professional. He is really good at listening to patients and when I explained the situation he knew exactly what my symptoms were. He ordered a scan straight away. I then phoned his office a few weeks later with a serious pain in my legs and he saw me that day within 4 hours of me calling and ordered a scan that evening to check it wasnt DVT. I couldn't have asked for better service. He is a very caring health professional and his office is so organised and respond so quickly to any of my questions. I would highly recommend Mr Hussain.

Mr Hussain provided me with the security that he knew what the best treatment option was for me. The initial consultation was a little quick, I would have liked him to offer more information, thus knowing this was the approach meant that on the second consultation I asked more questions.

Mr Hussain made the entire procedure easier than booking a hair appointment! Clear explanations and time lines were given plus do’s & dont’s regarding aftercare. His secretary was also extremely helpful and swift with replies and queries.

Overall very good and extremely satisfied with the experience and results. Whilst not intentional there were several times if either late or short notice time / date changes. Not a major problem but was frustrating it happened more than once.
