Canadaa year ago - Dr. Ameer Farooq was my A+ surgeon
I had a colectomy in December 2021 performed by Dr. Farooq, along with Dr. Manojkumar Raval. Dr. Farooq has really lovely bedside manner, I think he cares about his patients. Would recommend for your colorectal surgery needs :) I started listening to the podcast after googling Dr. Farooq and I am glad I did! Very informative and enjoyable to listen to.

So grateful to Ameer Farooq and Chad Ball for creating these podcasts. They do such an awesome job recruiting and moderating surgical celebrities through high yield topics in General Surgery. The podcasts have been invaluable in preparing for the Royal College. I also enjoy listening to them getting to know their guests - the life advice and pearls of wisdom are an added bonus!

Episode 46 with Dr Feliciano was tremendous! As a young surgeon and a fan of the amazing history of Surgery and Medicine, this one was a real treat to listen to and invaluable for me to find some other great books regarding this fascinating topic.
Much appreciated!
