Posted on Subuktageen 1952Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “The Hands Which I Recommend You To Trust” During the month of August 2024, after coming back from Dubai, somebody pointed that something is bulging out of my navel. I consulted with my physician who diagnosed it as hernia, for which the only method is to get it repaired from some experienced surgeon. Then I googled for the best surgeon in Karachi for Hernia repair. It led me to Prof. Dr. Najam Shabbir MBBS, FRCS (UK), grading him as one of the best general surgeons in Karachi with a high patient satisfaction rate. It also mentioned that Prof. Dr. Najam Shabbir expert specialization in general surgery involves surgical treatment of a wide range of diseases and disorders and conditions such as appendectomy, breast surgery, breast biopsy, laparotomy, hernia surgery, etc. I visited him for initial consultation. He was so ardent and affectionate that I felt relieved from any surgery-oriented fear. Since he was going to USA for his scheduled visit he gave me the date for surgery on 16th November 2024. Alhumdulillah, it was performed at RIMS Trauma Hospital. The best part of the surgery is that it was done by Dr. Najam Shabbir himself and his hands did a miracle. He chose anesthesia specialist of his own choice, keeping in view my age nearing to 73 at the moment and condition, which he always take care of for other patients too. By the grace of Almighty it was a successful surgery, and the credit goes to the cautiousness and vast experience of Dr. Najam Shabbir. I do recommend other patients falling in the domain of specialization of Dr. Shabbir, to at least get an appointment with him to discuss the issue. He will gain confidence and feel half of his worries gone after consulting him. I pray for healthy long life for him and wish that he should continue his work for all the times to come.
