I M very grateful for all Omar’s work and appreciated his approach to the problem. Things had got pretty bad before hand and the work he and his team did has been transformational. I have already recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

Dr Omar was very efficient and brisk in dealing with my vein issues. He explained the procedures clearly and patiently, and kept me amused during the discomfort of the operations with a steady stream of repartee. the wearing of the surgical stockings post-op was exceedingly uncomfortable and the pressure of the stockings on the bandages caused sores at my ankles that took 2 weeks to heal. I think more support could have been given by the clinic in helping with this issue, rather than simply saying “that’s how it is”!

Omar is a fantastic surgeon and has a very reassuring approach. I am so happy with the vein surgery I had with Omar he was so good at explaining exactly what was going to happen and my nerves quickly disappeared with his excellent bedside manner. I could not recommend him highly enough and The Whiteley Clinic.
Mark Goucher
Omar is terrific. I would thoroughly recommend him as a venous surgeon. He tells it straight and inspires confidence in his ability to identify root causes and address them through cutting edge surgery and methodologies. We are lucky to have him as a surgeon who is available to treat patients in the U.K. Long may it remain so!
