My whole experience with all my visits and treatment has been excellent. Dr. Alibhai is an amazing doctor and his professional manner is exemplary, he is extremely personable and put me at ease from the moment I met him. Follow up visits again are always faultless.
Quickly put me at ease, clear and concise explanations and excellent care.
We highly recommend Dr Alibhai, he is a total pro at what he does. Both my sons had oral surgery with him about 1 a year apart. They both had all four wisdom teeth removed at once and had a positive experience. Dr Alibhai is very responsive and prompt, he is also available for after care if needed. For both my sons the pain and swelling was manageable. Dr Alibhai is a high quality surgeon, you can't do anything wrong with him.
Mr Alibhai was brilliant before, during, and after the removal of my four wisdom teeth. He was extremely empathetic and patient, taking the time to clearly explain the options and the entire process. On top of that, he was reassuring and very human in his approach. I would highly recommend him.
Approximately 6 months ago, my sister was diagnosed with oral cancer which had spread to her cervical lymph nodes. Since this time, we have seen Mr Alibhai a number of times both prior and after the extensive surgery he performed on her. Having worked in health care now for nearly 20 years, I have met several consultants from specialties across the board. Mr Alibhai is by far one of the best in a number of ways. His knowledge and expertise is second to none - this came across in his explanation of the diagnosis and meticulous detail and success of the surgery. He has a warm and compassionate manner while being honest about a difficult diagnosis and the reality of this. Each and every time he has seen my sister, he has spent ample time with her and provided her with reassurance and answered all her questions. Mr Alibhai made a massive difference to my sister in all the time he spent with them with the exceptional care and respect he have them. I was keen to recognise the outstanding care my family received by Mr Alibhai .He is clearly an exceptional professional and massive asset to any organisation he works with.
I saw Mr Alibhai after I had received a diagnosis of oral cancer a few days earlier. It was a really difficult appointment given we needed to have a discussion about the extensive surgery I was to undergo, prognosis and recovery. From the minute I met Mr Alibhai, he treated me with dignity and respect. He was honest and clear about my diagnosis from the start and explained the details of the surgery in meticulous detail, but simply. He provided me with reassurance throughout the consult. His honesty alongside his compassion and caring nature was exactly what I needed that day.
Mr Alibhai was very informative and really helped to put my mind at ease. I'm so happy I was able to see him.
Early January 2024, I was diagnosed with Squamous carcinoma in my neck and I had gone through a radiotherapy / chemotherapy treatment and recovered well by mid 2024. A year and a few months later, I discovered something in my upper left jaw and with biopsy, it’s confirmed to be cancer again. I searched for a Maxillofacial surgeon and several of my friends and doctors recommended Dr. Mustansir Alibhai as one of the best in this area. I went to see him and from day one I saw how he is kind and taking good care of his patients. Within a week, he did all required scans and tests and booked the surgery. The surgery was so complicated because of my previous radiotherapy treatment. The surgery took about 14 hours, almost double the normal time, and Dr. Alibhai along with his team had to deal with several complications during the surgery. He dealt with these complications in a very professional way as I heard from his colleagues after the surgery. I think that Allah gave me a new opportunity in this day to come back to life through the help of Dr. Alibhai. After the surgery, I saw a caring person who was taking care of all the details along with his team. I spent 6 days at intensive care and then another 5 days at a normal room. During this period, Dr. Alibhai and his team took very good care of me. The results of the surgery were superb. The pathology report mentioned the success of the surgery in fully removing the tumor with a very good margin. Therefore, my oncologist along with Dr. Alibhai and the team decided that there is no need for further radiotherapy treatment, given the...
Read moreMr Alibhai was amazing from start to finish! I had a coronectomy performed by Mr Alibhai and felt in such safe hands! He was super professional, caring and made me feel at ease throughout! He went out of this way in every way possible and followed up with me on each occasion. I would recommend Mr Alibhai to anyone! Amazing.
Mustansir is an excellent and dependable Maxillofacial surgeon. I’ve referred patients to him and have always had positive feedback about his care and communication. He’s approachable, collaborative, and easy to work with, which makes coordinating patient care straightforward. I’m always confident my patients are in good hands when I refer them to him.
