Colorectal Cancer Treatment

“Dear Dr. Maher,

Thank you for helping me to return to normality.  Thank you for your skills and kindness throughout the past 7 months.  You are an exceptional surgeon and an inspiration to so many people.  The road has been a long one with lots of emotional and physical hurdles.  Words cannot truly capture how grateful I am to you and your wonderful team.  You have a special gift as a surgeon and as a person.  I am honored to have been the patient of a former Olympian athlete.”

“Dear Dr. Maher, I would like to take a moment to thank you for your excellent work performing surgery on me for Crohn’s Disease. You took an amazing care of me! Thank you for your being so skilled at what you do!”

“I am aware that this short letter in praise of Dr. Abbas is superfluous in the sense that you probably already have a box full of such letters from his patients. I have learned that in the medical community his fame as one of the greatest colorectal surgeons of the world is known and recognized far and wide… As expected he performed brilliantly and successfully a particularly complex six hour operation… I found everything about his personal demeanor to exude high professionalism, and as a situation proved, uncommon rectitude. It goes without say that I will always be deeply grateful to him for that he has done for me.”

“Dear Doctor Maher,
Because God could not be everywhere, he made sure that we have doctors like you who have the gift of healing mankind.  I am so thankful to you. For treating me so tenderly and turned impossible into possible!!
A miracle surgeon I should say!”

“I had intestinal and stomach problem for 4 years and saw several gastroenterologists in the past. I did not feel any better – opposite I was getting worse. After prolonged suffering, I came to see Dr. Maher Abbas. It was amazing and highly professional experience and I knew after my appointment that this doctor will make things right! That is exactly what happened when he made the right diagnosis, gave me the right treatment, and he did the necessary surgery. I cannot express with enough words how grateful I am to Dr. Abbas, this great doctor and amazing human being.”

“I had a radiation therapy for prostate cancer and it burned a hole in my rectum. I had severe pain and urine leaking from my rectum. I saw many doctors and the only treatment they did was a colostomy bag on my side. Then I was referred to Dr. Abbas who took a muscle from inside my left leg and patched the hole. At long last the pain was gone! Thank you Dr. Abbas for giving me back my life!”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, Happy Holidays! I think you did a brilliant job!”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, I am sending my heartfelt thanks to you for all the care that you provided during my husband’s health difficulties. It has been close to six months since his last surgery, and he seems to be steadily improving. You are a gifted healer and I give thanks every day that we were able to find you and receive the expert care that you and Dr. Aboseif provided!”

“Dr. Abbas, I am sending this email because of our distance, I’m worried that a tiny thank you note would get lost in the mail and you would never know of my appreciation. I have completed my 4^th treatment just this month.  None of that would have taken place had it not been for you supporting me and making yourself available to me and my treating doctors. Thank you for still caring about me after all these years. Words cannot express my gratitude for you. Thank you kindly!”

“Dr. Abbas, thank you for everything you have done for me this past year. You have given me my life back! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and good health & happiness in the New Year.”

“I would like to commend Dr. Abbas for his excellent service and expertise. Thank you for making me well!”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, we are sincerely grateful to you for all you’ve done to help my husband with the bladder repair. You promised us that you’d do your best to make this a successful surgery and you did just that. The year 2006 was a devastating year, but thanks to you, he’s on his way to a full recovery!”

“Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for taking such a wonderful care of my mother. You and your team could not have been better. You were always very kind, compassionate and upbeat. Your positive approach was very reassuring to my mother, myself, and our entire family. I have learned from experience that the most skilled practitioners are the ones who make the very difficult look very simple. You made this procedure look very simple. You are truly a gifted physician. On behalf of my family and I…Thank you!”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, I just wanted to thank you for the surgery you performed on me last month. I’m aware that the more common approach would have been to remove a section of my colon in order to determine whether the growths were malignant or benign. Because of your skills I got the good news without having to endure a more severe surgery. So, thank you very much! You, your residents, nurses and staff were all a pleasure. My wife and I both appreciate it!”

“Dr. Abbas, 3 surgeries, numerous visits and a few phone calls plus a couple of check-ups and we’re all done. You and your team have done more than your job requires, you cared. I have felt confident in your skill and ability to do the operations from the time I met you. That right there says a lot about the way you present yourself and talk to your patients. Thanks for giving me the “guts” to get back to the norm and if I ever have another pain in the butt, you will be the first to know.”

“Dear Dr. Maher, thank you so much for stepping in and helping my dad with his recent surgery. You really saved the day with your expertise…keeping him from needing two bags. Dr. Kaswick said it was a difficult surgery and we are so thankful for all that you did for my dad.”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, you operated on Bill for bleeding from the colon. The letter is to thank you for your personal manners and for the excellence of your medical practice. The confidence we had in you went a long way to calm our fears and to help us to get through the long ordeal. Bill is doing very well and has gained weight. Your reassuring statements that he would recover restored confidence and helped to remove the fear. Thank you!”

“Dr. Abbas, thank you for saving my butt! Without you I probably wouldn’t be here today. Your direction and guidance helped steer me to good health. You save lives everyday and God sees that.”

“Dear Maher, now that the many operations Kareem had are behind us, we look back on how it all started before we met you. We were not very hopeful at first. I think that what you did for us is extraordinary. We thank you. When we tell people here what you did, they do not believe us most of the time…This last – but not least – note is to thank you with all our hearts for what you did. We will not forget. God bless you.”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, my mother and family want to thank you for the terrific time and kindness you have shown in caring for our mother. We obviously were very concerned when this large lesion was discovered. Your expert care and reassuring manner put us at ease. Mother is doing great and the news of “No cancer” could not have been better. Again, many thanks!”

“After a painful year and 3 previous failed operations for anal fistula elsewhere, I was pleased to find Dr. Abbas in Dubai. His expertise is outstanding and following the surgery he performed, I am finally healed. As a young woman it can be an embarrassing problem, but Dr. Abbas’ professional, friendly, and reassuring personality made me feel completely at ease from the very first consultation – I knew I was in good hands. I cannot thank him enough for helping me through this awful condition, and I could not recommend him highly enough. Dubai is extremely lucky to have his extensive expertise.”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, I’m healthy again thanks to you and your team, and I’m grateful for that beyond words. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

“Dear Dr. Maher, thank you very much for everything you did for me, you restored my health and my faith in doctors. It is nice to know that doctors like you still exist, that help humanity and believe in what they profess. I will never forget you and your team’s work. Bless you all!”

“Hi Dr. Abbas, I would like to thank you for your expertise. Words cannot express the gratitude feeling in my heart. It is so wonderful to be able to eat and eliminate normally. I have had moments of despair and fear, but your skills have brought me hope and confidence. Now I can resume my normal activities, finishing my last course in a MSN program and visiting friends in other countries. Wish you continue being successful in your works. Thank you again.”

“Dr. Abbas, I was a patient of yours the morning of Oct 12, 2012. Every time I find out I don’t have cancer, I celebrate. I celebrate good doctors, too. So here’s a toast to you: Thank you for going into medicine. Your staff was great, too.”

“Dear Dr. Abbas, Just a quick note to let you know that I am doing fabulous. Thanks to you…Happy New Year!”

“I just wanted to put in writing my thanks and appreciation for Dr. Maher Abbas ​ and​ all the auxiliary staff involved in my surgery in August 2017.  The treatment received before, during and after my operation was of the highest order.

My life before the operation had become severely compromised.  Dr. Maher managed my expectations thoroughly  throughout the surgery and recovery. I am pleased ​to report that I have regained my full life back including running and cycling which had been so difficult to deal with before.  ​H​e has changed my life!!!

I thank Dr. Filippos for his correctly diagnosing my needs and his timely referral to Dr. Maher. Your hospital is exceptional in its delivery of a world class service.”

“The care I received by Dr. Abbas and his staff of doctors and nurses was the best experience I have received since I have been a member of Kaiser, some 34 years ago. Thank God for Dr. Abbas who worked with excellence, professionalism, and kindness. He was always informative, optimistic, professional, and just a kind human being.”
