Patient reviews Professor Nadey Hakim
Not only the whole of UK, but the whole world knows that Professor Hakim is an outstanding general and transplant surgeon. However, for my late husband and myself, what makes this surgeon truly outstanding is that his vocation governs every minute he devotes to his patients. He consequently acts with pure transparency, unique empathy and unparalleled excellence. These very qualities have seen him through various professional challenges and as such he is a real inspiration to all professional health carers out there!

He rescued me by operating on me as an emergency. If it wasn’t from Professor Hakim who knows I could’ve been dead.
I am eternally grateful to him and his passion in taking care of his patients.
Professor Hakim is an absolute genius, very humble and caring. I trust him fully and will always follow his advice.
Thank you Professor for being you.

I have known Dr Hakim for 17 years now.
He belongs to the elusive breed of doctors who combined being outstandingly experienced, qualified and knowledgeable with always being helpful and available, no matter the day or time.
Medically, he has helped me to resolve my issues faster and better than one could ever hope. His vast knowledge of experience and long chirurgical practise make him such a one of a kind doctor.
He is so committed to his patents that I have known him to come into work on a Sunday if I was in pain to treat me.
In these 17 years, no matter what my requests might have been, he has never made me feel once like I was bothering him (no matter how big or small the issue might have been at the time, both medically and administratively).
As a patient, he really makes you feel like he's treating his own family member, treating you ethically, with respect and care.
What an incredible doctor but also human being.

Professor Hakim comes with my highest recommendation. I have been operated twice by him and both times were excellent experiences. He is an incredibly knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and very experienced surgeon. He patiently answered all my numerous questions about my two different conditions, the operations and the after care. Each surgery was a total success. It is an honour to know the professor and I trust him 100% percent.
