Mr Hamouda is an excellent surgeon. He is a knowledgeable and experienced gentleman who immediately puts one at ease. My consultation was not rushed and enabled me to decide that an op was my best option. Six weeks on, I can sincerely say that the whole experience was a success.

Mr Hamouda recently removed my gallbladder. I specifically asked for Mr H because he did a gastric operation for me 5 years ago. He's friendly, honest and a highly knowledgeable Dr and I cannot recommend him enough. I have never had any complication with my surgeries.

Mr Hamouda, successfully helped me with a hernia repair June 2024. This was my first surgery so I had questions. He was polite, patient and knowledgeable in answering my questions, and put me at ease. The surgery and recovery were without complications. Many thanks.
