Thank you again for your kind words, and congratulations on your hard work and dedication to your health.
I’m so grateful to Mr Al Midani & his team, they basically saved my life. The fact they operated on me late @ night, I saw the NHS @ its very best. My after care on Paco ward was completely professional & caring, all the staff were exceptional.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am delighted that surgery went very well and our team and the Paco staff could support you when you needed it most.
Fantastic level of care. All positive. Mr Al Midani is a talented surgeon and excellent communicator

Very helpful and informative
Thank you for your kind words . I am really glad you found the consultation helpful and informative.
I started my “transformation” journey with Mr. Al Midani 15 months ago. Having lost 44kg overall while adopting a healthier and much more active lifestyle, I feel like a new person. Mr. Al Midani enabled me to achieve what I did.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and congratulations on your incredible achievement. Your hard work and determination have been truly inspiring it’s been an absolute pleasure to support you throughout your journey.
Absolutely, Excellency 8n every level Doctors, Nurses, Information & receptionist all first class. But one thing Iwuld like mention, there is always a very long waiting time in the Blood Test Area 1:30 - 2:00Hrs . Absolutely blow the standard
Thank you very much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. I completely understand your concern about the waiting time in the Blood Test Area . I’ll make sure this is raised with the team so we can work on improving it.
From start to finish, the treatment I received was outstanding. Mr Almidani immediately put me at ease, and I felt complete trust in him from the very beginning. I had full confidence in every decision he made, and I was proved right as everything went smoothly. After my surgery, he not only visited my donor but also continued to ask after her — something he didn’t have to do but which was deeply appreciated, especially by my mum. A few weeks later, he went out of his way to save me time and effort by removing my neckline during a clinic appointment, sparing me an additional wait and trip to day surgery. I will always be profoundly grateful for the exceptional care I received.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a privilege to be part of your care, and I’m truly glad to hear you felt supported throughout. Wishing you and your donor continued good health.
I’m deeply grateful to my kidney transplant team for their outstanding care, with a heartfelt and special thanks to Dr Al Midani. Their expertise, dedication, and kindness made an extraordinary difference in my journey, and I will always be thankful for their support
Thank you for your kind words. It’s an honour to have been part of your journey, and we wish you continued health and strength.

Incredible bond between friends following kidney donation
A golf instructor whose kidneys suddenly stopped working said he is forever thankful to his childhood friend who stepped in to make an immensely generous offer. Two years ago, Ben Todd, 40, a golf instructor from Bath who now lives in Dubai, was rushed to hospital after his blood pressure started going through the roof. Doctors found that the creatinine (a waste product removed by the kidneys) in Ben’s blood was 17 times the normal level and he was immediately placed on a week of continual dialysis. Ben was told he had unknown primary kidney disease – both his kidneys had stopped working and started to shrink without any known cause. Before this, Ben was living a healthy life. He frequently worked out at the gym and never suffered any illnesses so his diagnosis came as a huge shock. He now faced having dialysis three times a week in order to stay alive – unless donor organ become available. He said: “It was really difficult to take. It was a shock and it changed my life completely. “Going on holiday was difficult. My job as golf instructor was affected – dialysis really takes it out of you and I just didn’t have as much energy I used to have. It puts a lot of restrictions on your life which also affected my wife and son.” Sadly, no one in his family was able to donate a kidney – and that meant waiting for a deceased donation. Ben said being reliant on dialysis and being always prepared for an organ donation which could come at any time was really tough. “You get to the point where you are just waiting for the call,” he said. “You start to going from optimistic to pessimistic. It eats away at you.” Then, after two years of waiting, it felt like a miracle when someone Ben hadn’t seen since he was a child offered to donate one of his kidneys. Alexis Tjolle, 45, had grown up as friends with both Ben and his sister Annie. …. The surgery went ahead in June at the Royal Free London Private Patients Unit (RFL PPU)– funded by Ben’s Dubai health insurance. Both Alexis and Ben have made good recoveries. Ben and Alexis were looked after by our MDT teams, our live donor kidney transplant Clinical Nurse Specialist, Catherine O’Malley, and led by our consultants: Dr Rhys Evans (Associate Professor of Renal Medicine and Consultant Nephrologist), Dr Philip Masson (Consultant Nephrologist), Mr Prodromos Makis Laftsidis (Consultant Kidney Transplant and Vascular Access Surgeon), Mr Ammar AlMidani (Consultant Renal Transplant and Vascular Access Surgeon), Dr Anish Amlani (Consultant Anaesthetists) and Dr Marc Wittenberg (Consultant Anaesthetist).
