'Thank you very much for taking such great care of me. It was a long, scary journey... but through it all I knew I was in great hands. You were professional, sincere and dedicated to my health and recovery. Also, you made me feel great on a personal level; always remembering my children and offering advice to my husband. Thanks again, and keep up the excellent work!!! You are amazing.'

I am a 48 year old mother of three boys all in their 20's.

I have been contemplating having a tummy tuck for the last ten years. The only thing that was holding me back was the thought of going under general anaesthetic. I was concerned about the risks and possible complications associated with it.

When I saw Dr. Huq on CHCH news explaining an abdominoplasty procedure using local anaesthetic I knew I had found the surgeon for me.

My entire experience was wonderful. Dr. Huq put my mind completely at ease and answered all of my questions. The surgery was without any complications and the results were awesome.

I can't believe I have my "body back". I no longer have to allow extra room for my "kangaroo pouch" when buying clothes and I have a new self confidence. Even though he claims it "never bothered him" my husband is also extremely pleased with my new look.

I would recommend Dr. Huq and his wonderful staff to anyone thinking about having this surgery. I am so glad that I finally did it and can now look forward to enjoying the "new me".

Dr. Huq performed my tummy tuck under a local anaesthetic. I did not have to be put to sleep which alleviated alot of anxiety about the procedure. Dr Huq and the nurses at the hospital were wonderful and made me feel very comfortable through out the entire procedure. The office staff was fantastic before and after the surgery. I am thrilled with the results. My tummy is smooth and firm. I've been able to wear the same string bikinis that I wore before having 3 children without having to worry about the scar! I wish I had had it done years ago!

Dr. Huq & Staff I would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent treatment I received with my recent facial surgery. I really appreciate your skill in performing the procedure and I am extremely pleased with the results.

With warm appreciation for all you've given of your time, your energy, and yourself. Thank you for making a difference in my life. Lots and lots of 'Huqs'!

I really want express my sincere appreciation for you and your talent. Another few mm and I would have lost my whole hand. Most important was that I did this when you were available to fix it. God seems to oversee stupid people like me! I simply want to thank so very much for your dedication and talent. Your confidence and good humour left me comfortable and assured that my thumb was safe in your hands.

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the excellent care and compassion you showed me during my recent surgery. This was shown by the manner in which you handled the initial consultation, advocated for me when the hospital didn't want me to stay overnight, and followed up with a call from your home just before Christmas to check on me a week later.

Also, a thank you to Vikki for her excellent follow-up care and patient handling of my questions. In addition, your office staff was always polite and pleasant and willing to be of help, which is not always the case in other practices. When I was worried about a possible infection, they fit me in promptly, and, thankfully, you assured me that I was fine.

Undergoing a procedure such as mine was a scary thing to do, and you made it one which I do not regret, and would recommend to others who may be considering plastic surgery.
