Her compassion, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched, and I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on my mental health. I highly recommend London Consulting Medical Center to anyone in need.

Ahmed almarzooqi

Hello To be honest, I have been visiting the center for a while, and God willing, the service, nursing, and the doctors are all artists. I had a bypass procedure with Dr. Hikmat Matar. His hand is very light and there is no pain. He did not shorten all the necessary tests before my operation and is in contact with me. I thank Dr. Hikmat Matar and Dr. Youssef, who was always patient and responded to my inquiries, and Dr. Ali for the advice that I really benefited from, and Nutritionist Dr. Lama, and I thank the marketing employee who always gets her and tells me about the offers they have. Thank you everyone.
