Couldn’t Be Happier with My Experience and Results
My experience at Waterfront Private Hospital was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the reception area was clean, modern, and very inviting. It was also a lovely touch to have coffee and refreshments available.
Dr Quaba was outstanding throughout the entire process. He put me at ease, listened carefully, and worked with me to provide clear advice along with his professional opinion.
I’m absolutely delighted with my results. I only wish I had taken the plunge sooner—but I truly believe this was the right time for me.

Would recommend
Easy process from start to finish. Booked online, filled out forms via email. Hospital was easily accessed via public transport and all the staff were welcoming. The place itself was modern and absolutely spotless. I had an appoitment with a dermatologist and he walked me through my options, recommended treatments and answered every question.

From my consultation I had every confidence that my surgeon understood what I wanted. I had a tummy tuck and brachioplasty and honestly the results are amazing. Scaring is nowhere near as bad as I expected and my recovery was smooth. I the standard of care was exceptional from everyone involved. I am already considering the next step in my journey and will be seeking the advice of Omar once again.

Excellent service
Really professional from start to finish. I had several moles removed from my face. It was quite a nervous thing to have done but I was put completely at ease. My face is healing really well just a week after the procedure. Also wasn't as expensive as I expected. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Fabulous all the way through!
Very friendly staff. I had two moles removed. Procedure was thoroughly explained and talked through. I felt in safe hands and listened to. After care was recommended and a follow up with results of excision is an extra step you don’t get elsewhere. Would reccomend.

Dear Lauren,
Thanks for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. Glad you felt well informed throughout and that the team gave you the space to ask questions. Reviewing histology results at a follow-up is standard practice with mole excisions here — it gives both patient and clinician the chance to discuss the findings and plan any next steps. Appreciate the recommendation.
