My father used him for Gastric Bypass and did not have any problems. I used him for my gallbladder removal and ended up having complications but not due to any malpractice. He is an excellent doctor - very caring and professional. Despite my complications, I am going back to him for gastric sleeve surgery. DMMC is an excellent facility. He operated out of New Canadian Hospital for us. Hi Jackie price dubai, I am considering to have the gastric sleeve surgery and was wondering if you had yours and if you could share your first hand experience. I am struggling to find people who've had it with whom I could talk to for a bit more of insight. Thanks!

My Husband just had a hernia operation with Dr Faruq last week. The operation was a great success. Dr Faruq is fantastic, extremely professional. Recovery was incredibly fast. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I know this post is a bit old now but I can't say enough good things about Dr Faruq. He operated on me in April at American Hospital to repair a large ventral hernia. It was a major operation but I couldn't be happier with the results and the care and attention he gave me. He is a wonderful man and has completely changed my life! I would recommend him to anybody. missyqueen, what was the total cost of the surgery, my daughter has a hernia and needs to be operated on, dubai london clinic gave me a quote of 22k

He operated on me six weeks ago and I can not say enough good things about him (had gallbladder removed). I saw him at EHL and he operated at American hospital. Him and his assistant Gretchen were marvellous!

What hospital is he at? I'm currently trying to find a surgeon to do a hernia repair. Thanks :). DubaiCat, just something to maybe think about: in Holland we hardly perform any hernia operations anymore. The general opinion is that the same, or most likely even better results can be gained through physiotherapy. Maybe you have already tried and decided on the surgery, but if you haven't, it might be worth a go.

my son had a laparoscopic appendectomy with him 5 years ago at American Hospital. We did not know until after the emergency surgery that, at the time, he was the Chairman of the UAE Laparoscopic Surgeons Society (title might be slightly wrong as I have forgotten but it was similar). He was great, really nice man, and my son made a really quick recovery.

Yes, I have, a few years ago when he operated in American. It was a simple hernia repair, but very good, no issues. I hear he's very skilled at gastric banding. Good luck.
