I just wanted to take a moment to share my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care I received before, during, and after my recent surgery. The staff were not only highly professional but also genuinely caring, which made a world of difference to my experience.
The premises is absolutely beautiful, providing a calming environment that helped ease my nerves. And, of course, I cannot sing enough praises for Dr. Quaba Snr, who I firmly believe is the best surgeon in the UK by far! His expertise and dedication are truly outstanding.
Thank you once again for everything. Your support and care means the world to me.

I had breast reduction 5 months ago with Omar Quaba. It has been absolutely life changing. Everything from the first consultation, to the surgery, aftercare and final consultation was faultless.
Not only do I have a much more comfortable life, the additional benefits have been tenfold and it has allowed me to be much more able, active and confident.
I had problem free healing but I was confident I could contact Dr Quaba with any questions if I had any to ask.
I only wish I was able to have done this a decade ago! I cannot recommend Dr Quaba enough.

My consultation with Dr Quaba was extremely thorough and informative, he was patient during the hour. I felt at ease and understood without judgement. I would recommend for a consultation.

From initial consultation to surgery to my 6 month follow-up appointment last month, I’ve had an excellent experience. Mr Quaba took the time to listen to my concerns before confirming I was a suitable candidate for surgery, and clearly outlined the best approach. I’m absolutely delighted with the results and wished I’d seen Mr Quaba sooner!

Mr Quaba was one of the most professional medical advisors I ever dealt with. Very knowledgable and he and his team are simply top notch. Highly recommend!

Dr Quaba
Always gives the best advice and is an excellent surgeon who I have used for 12 years for 3 procedures

I was looked after so well prior to, during and after my procedure. All the staff are so friendly and willing to help. They were also very accommodating to the fact i love further away with a young family so were flexible with my aftercare appointments

Very disappointed. Booked a consultation with Dr Qaba in preparation of a deep plane facelift. I received several calss and messages to remind me to pay 200 pounds if I wanted to secure the appointment. I informed a member of his team on one of these calls that I was also considering a CO2 resurfacing and a possible arm lift. I was told I would have to pay an additional 200 to discuss the additional surgeries. I decided not to. I went ahead with the initial consultation and Dr Qaba told me he didn't do deep plane facelifts as it wouldnt be necessary. He told me he wpuld be available around 8 weeks later and would be in touch. I didn't hear anything more apart from follow up emails asking for feedback and review. I wouldnt have wasted my time or money if I had been informed that deep plane wasn't something he does.

It was a competent and stress free experience at Shawfair

From my first consultation I felt at ease and had full faith in the quality of work.
My surgery went extremely smoothly. I never felt any pain during my recovery and m wounds healed without any problems. No need to wear restrictive clothing and my tummy button looks better than any I’ve seen in other’s photos!

Excellent experience from start to finish. The team were quick to respond and helpful throughout the whole process. Dr Quaba is an excellent surgeon and has done a wonderful job. The care before during and after has been more than expected. Would recommend with no hesitation.

Dr Quaba put me at ease at my consultation. He listened to my concerns and advised me that I was suitable for treatment. I felt I had plenty of time at my consultation to talk about my concerns and Dr Quaba was friendly and so easy to chat with.

I had septum rhinoplasty and chin liposuction in September 2024 with Dr Quaba and I am delighted with the overall experience and the results obtained.
I had thought about it for many years, had a few consultations elsewhere but was never convinced, then a friend recommended Dr Quaba. From the first consultation I knew I was in good hands. He understood my requirements from the cosmetic and functional perspective and was impeccable, clear and informative on all aspects of the procedure and recovery. We discussed together all details of both procedures and I was clear and satisfied with what we wanted to achieve. The surgery went really well, his staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed and the post-op recovery was much easier than I had envisaged, pleasant and uneventful rest for a few days. I could see beautiful results as soon the cast was removed (painless experience) and I felt more confident and natural with my nose straight away. The improvement in breathing was significant and I just wish I had done it before. I am writing this review six months later and I am still really pleased and happy I went through with it and chose Dr Quaba and his team for my surgery. Thank you, Sincerely Rose

My appointment was with Dr Quaba Snr. I was feeling anxious in the waiting room but as soon as I spoke to Dr Quaba I felt at ease. He listened to me, explained everything clearly and his relaxed manner made me feel at ease.
Also, a shout out to Kelsey who I spoke to a week after my appointment- I felt she went out of her way to help me.

I had my first Rhinoplasty when I was 13yo. This was done on the NHS due to how bad the bullying was. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I really wish I hadn’t!
Fast forward 20+ years where my nose has obviously grown and had some trauma, it was crooked and one of my biggest insecurities still.
I had always wanted to have it fixed, but was too scared. I spent 5 years going between different surgeons. I’ve had 3D images taken, in depth discussions around how each would do it. I didn’t want an upturned pixie nose. That’s definitely what I didn’t want. My nose still has to fit my face! I’d go to one consultation and leave really disappointed with their suggestions. I then found Mr Quaba and saw their work on the websites before/after pictures. I loved how natural each person looked.
I was happy after my first consultation in July 2022. Mr Quaba was open, honest, explained what they felt the issue could be, the steps they’d take to try and help me. They made it clear that if you seek perfection, especially with a revision, you will be disappointed. They urged me to really think about it and take my time to consider the procedure. I was emailed a lot of information and I took the time to consider it. I had days when I’d look in the mirror and be 100% for it, then other days when I didn’t mind so much.
It was late 2023 before I reached out to Mr Quaba again and July 2024 before I underwent the procedure. The healing has been a rollercoaster. I have loved the change and then regretted it in equal measures! It’s not perfect. It’s not 100% symmetrical. I have one nostril that sits slightly higher, I have a small lump on the right side, and you can see the bones on the bridge through my skin. You know what though? Those are small things! Mr Quaba is not a magician, they can only work with what they have! Given the starting point and the changes that have happened. I’ve now got a straight nose. I can now breathe through my right nostril - this is by no means a small thing. My nose is smaller. It still suits my face - at least I think so.
I no longer make my nose my focus. I no longer walk into a room full of people and think “omg they’re looking at my nose”. Having that insecurity has held me back so much. I don’t feel it will now.
There are many surgeons out there. Mr Quaba is the only one who listened. Who took the time to actually look at my nose. There was no gimmicks (3D photo machines!), just an honest conversation. I didn’t feel rushed, if anything I was being implored to really consider the procedure and to have realistic expectations. His before/after pics speak for themselves. He goes for natural. Not the upturned pixie nose that seems to the be trend just now.
I was at the Shawfair hospital for my procedure. I opted for an overnight stay as I live out of town. The care I received was second to none. The nurses and anaesthetist that helped with my surgery/aftercare were all fantastic. I had arrived quite anxious and everyone took the best care of me. The after care has also been great.
My only regret is not finding Mr Quaba sooner!

Breast reduction by Dr Omar Quaba was the best decision I could have made. From consultation to after care, the team at Spire and Dr Quaba himself were great. I felt very supported in my decision to have this procedure and more importantly, it was particularly wonderful to feel understood regarding the way I felt and the reasons I wanted and, more importantly needed the reduction. My life has improved massively since my surgery and I now have the confidence to do things I’d never have done before! This was a truly life changing procedure for myself and I’m so glad I found Dr Quaba. I highly recommend Dr Quaba ☺️

Very happy with the appointment and guidance offered by Mr Anderson. The quotation for the proposed surgery seems competitive and I am now waiting on a possible date to have it done.

To say I’m happy would just be an understatement…I had breast surgery at the waterfront private hospital 2 weeks ago. I can honestly say it was the best experience I could have hoped for and more. From the initial consultation with Mr Omar Quaba right through to the surgery itself and then to the aftercare, all went so perfectly. It felt like a spa day at a luxury resort. The nursing staff are the most friendly people and looked after me so well. And Mr Quaba, he has changed my life. I had a breast uplift only, after having 2 children and being unhappy with my breasts for years.They now look perfect and even better than they’ve ever looked. Thank you so very much. I would highly recommend if anyone is thinking of having a cosmetic procedure. Just go for it :-)

In May, I underwent breast augmentation surgery at Waterfront Hospital with Omar Quaba. It was a stress-free and straightforward process as I was cared for by the most fantastic team of nurses, anaesthetists and Dr Quaba. I am beyond pleased with my results and would recommend Quaba to anyone who’s considering cosmetic surgery. Thank you!
