Sheikh Ahmad came to my rescue when I developed a large cyst on my scalp which the NHS would not treat because it was benign. However, because of its size it became a problem when combing or washing my hair. He removed it under local anaesthetic and I have not had a problem since. He was very sympathetic and caring throughout.

Both my wife and my mother were treated by Sheikh, and having met him on a few occasions, I found him to be one of the most genuine, caring and kind people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
It was such a shock and shame to hear of his tragic passing, and as a family we want to send our deepest, heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, friends and colleagues, who I am certain will miss him terribly.

As a child and teenager we spent a lot of time together. One memory alwYs comes to mind how he loved keys . He would remove keys from doors or wardrobes but alwYs remembered where he hid them. May Allah give his soul peace and a high place in Jannah.

I was mr Ahmad’s last patient, I met him back in April and had my procedure on Sunday 28 th September. He was such an amazing man, I liked him instantly when I met him. There was something about him that made me feel safe and he made me laugh. Sending so much love to his family and I’m so blessed to have met you. Rest in eternal peace , even though I didn’t know you that well, with our short encounters you left such an impact on me and I feel so sad you are gone but know your at peace. Love to his family xx

I have known your for nearly 10 years, from that first day I met you when we discovered I had breast cancer and the tears and anxiety that caused, you held my hand throughout the crying and madness. We stayed in touch did lots of procedures and you made me get my big girl pants on. All the time smiling and helping me with my nerves around surgery. I am going to miss you so much, you were an amazing man. Heartbreaking to see you taken so soon. 💔💔

It was truly devastating news to learn of Mr Ahmad’s passing. He meant a lot to me, both professionally and personally.
I had the privilege of working with him for many years, helping him build and grow his clinics. More than that, I got to know the man behind the surgeon.
Mr Ahmad was one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. His compassion for his patients, his attention to detail, and his unwavering drive for excellence were unmatched. Every decision he made was guided by doing what was best for his patients, something I saw firsthand when he performed cosmetic surgery on my wife. Watching how he treated her with such care and respect, and seeing the difference it made to her confidence, showed me exactly why so many people trusted him.
He truly changed lives.
I’ll always be thankful for the trust he placed in me and for the lessons I learned working alongside him. He touched countless lives through his skill, care, and kindness, leaving behind a legacy that will live on through every patient he helped and every person he inspired.
Rest in peace, Mr Ahmad. You’ll be missed deeply, but never forgotten. 💙

I met Mr Ahmad in September 2010 when I was working as a doctor in Plymouth but had been diagnosed with breast cancer myself. Truro had access to OSNA which Derriford didn’t have so I reached out to the unit in Truro for help. I spoke with Mr Ahmad who asked me to text him my details and he would see me the next day. I was in a pretty dark and lonely space; in my forties, a mother of three including a 5 year old and newly divorced. He immediately put me at ease by introducing himself with open arms, a massive warm smile and a hand. He shook my hand and said with a grin; ‘Mr Ahmad, but you can call me Sheikh’. It was as if lead had fallen off my shoulders. I immediately relaxed, felt safe and just knew I was going to be okay. He operated on me and took good care of me.
I am so sad to hear of your passing Mr Ahmad. You were truly one of a kind. A gem and a one off. I will always remember how you helped me with your care, your skills, your kindness and generosity. Condolences to your family. RIP

Sending heartfelt condolences to Mr Ahmad’s family and friends. A wonderful, compassionate man who we deeply respected, and are greatly saddened by his passing. His skill, humour, wit and genuine interest in our lives were something we so looked forward to at our appointments. He will be greatly missed. On an individual note, he was so kind to me at a time in 2012 when I was caring for my own parent at end of life and I will never forget that. He touched so many lives and will be remembered by us with great fondness. Sarah and family.

Mr. Ahmad was a surgeon that changed my life. I had been suffering from a long history of mental issues due to a medical defect. However, I was very lucky and privileged to have met Mr. Ahmad. He kindly guided me through every step of my transformation journey and successfully performed the surgery. He provided me so much care, support, empathy and empowerment before and after the surgery. He is a very skillful and caring surgeon that genuinely cares for his patients and wish to make a difference for them. He is one of the best people I have known in this world. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and everyone who knows him. I will never forget this amazing man who changed my life and gave me the confidence to confront myself and make a difference!

I am deeply saddened by Sajid's death. He was the cousin I was closest to as we were the same age. I have so many wonderful memories with him particularly from the time when we both lived together with our grandparents in Lahore. He left too soon and will be missed by all those who knew him. My deepest condolences to his family.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
We were fortunate to meet Dr Sheikh Ahmad just a few weeks ago. Though it was only once, he left a strong impression on us. He was clearly a very dedicated and talented plastic surgeon who cared deeply about his patients. What stood out was also his evident love for his children and family, a true sign of a kind and loving man.
May Allah forgive him, grant him the highest place in Jannah, and give strength and patience to his family and all who loved him. His kindness and passion will be remembered by all who knew him.🤲

Sajid was my dearest buddy since 1975. There was hardly a day when we didn’t meet each other till May 79 when he went to a different Med School. Be it sports or academic we always had a healthy competition. His humor was always killing. Just chatted with him on Sept 29th, four days before he passed away. My plan was to visit him during my thanksgiving break, but nature had different plans. I remain in shock and grief to this day. My heart and soul goes out to his family and may god give them strength to bear this huge loss.

Sajid Uncle wasn’t just my dad’s friend, he was his brother. When he would come around for dinner, he would make me and mum laugh about the adventures they both shared growing up in Pakistan, it was a special relationship I hoped I could have with my own friends. He would also encourage me to go after what I wanted in life and passed on good advice I still carry with me today.
He really meant so much to the family that we all feel this huge loss, he really did bring so much joy when he would come to the house. I’m also extremely thankful that he kept visiting mum and dad, I know they both loved him a lot and loved seeing him.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Sajid Uncle was my dad’s friend who became family. He would often come over to our house, and we loved sitting with him, listening to his stories and laughing together. He had such a warm presence and a wonderful sense of humour that always filled the room.
His friendship with my dad was truly special — together they showed us what genuine friendship looks like. He was always encouraging us to chase our dreams and took the time to really listen whenever we spoke.
I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing, and I pray he’s in a better place. He’ll always be remembered with warmth and laughter
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, I hope they find peace and comfort in remembering the good times they shared with him.

I am so sad to learn of the passing dear Dr Ahmad, Without him, I would not have the career I have today- nor would I have met my husband. He was truly instrumental in shaping not only my professional journey but also the course of my life.
Dr. Ahmad was a remarkable man: generous, talented, funny, and deeply sensitive. He had an incredible gift for bringing out the best in people, always offering guidance, encouragement, and wisdom just when it was needed most. His mentorship went far beyond medicine; he taught compassion, integrity, and the importance of kindness in everything we do.
He was more than a mentor - he was a friend. I will always be grateful for his belief in me, and I will miss him dearly.

I can’t believe I am writing this I’m still in shock! I met with Mr Ahmad last month post operation. He had such a wonderful way about him and the ability to put you in a relaxed state of mind and turn any worries you had into laughter. Such an incredible loss. I send my condolences to his wonderful family and friends.

Known sajid from last 50years and enjoyed some of my beautiful moments of life.
We were close friends as classmates since 1976.
He was generous and kind and full of humour.
He was a true friend in need and was always available when needed.
It's a great loss for me and my family.
We used to meet quiet often and have a laugh mostly at my place.
He was very hard working and his personality always inspired me.
I last met him at my home over a dinner just few weeks before his sad demise.
Couldn't come to term upto now and can't believe he is no more.
My deep condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace my friend. Will always be in our hearts.

Thank you Dr Ahmad for increasing my confidence. I had the pleasure of you performing 2x surgeries on me. Before my first surgery I remember being afraid of being put under and you hugged me and told me it will all be okay. After my first surgery I had a melt down you supported me through that and we sure laughed about it after. Then I had another surgery with you this time with a friend who I recommended to go through you. I remember my friend having her surgery and I fell asleep on the bed (while waiting my turn) and you knocked so hard trying to wake me up haha. But you promised me a snickers after surgery and when I come around after surgery that is the first thing I asked for :) . . Your sense of humour, your wittyness was the best.. I hope you are surrounded by cheese, cracker’s, nuts, snickers and all things you enjoy.
Condolences to your family.
You were a remarkable man.

I first met Mr Ahmed in 2023. From the first appointment, I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon. He made me very relaxed & explained every step. I particularly liked his warm personality & humour. With every appointment & follow up he was always very pleasant & always had a laugh with him. I feel so sad of his passing he was a great man. Sending love & hugs to his staff, family & friends.

Mr Ahmad, you truly were a wonderful man who clearly touched the lives of many. Thank you for making me feel so at ease throughout two operations and many appointments.

My heartfelt condolences to family and friends! I have known Sheikh since 2008. We became best friends very soon. Best friends are chosen family. They know your unspoken thoughts, your worst moments, your biggest dreams—and they love you anyway. Ours was a bond built on belly laughs, midnight chats, mutual respect, and shared silence when words weren’t needed. Almost every Thursday we go to Shanaz restaurant and talk about our theatre list and reflect and learn. He is a great teacher. Losing a best friend feels like losing a piece of your identity. This tribute is for the best friend and for our unconditional friendship. We had great work ethics, humour and trust. Though the world feels lonelier now, the friendship we shared will never fade. It shaped us. It stays with us. Always. You have a special place in my heart my dear friend. May your soul rest in peace. Siva.

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago with Mr Ahmad in Harley Street I am so grateful I found him. I will never forget how he has changed my life. I also only saw him 2 days before he past away.

I was lucky enough to meet Mr Ahmad several times over the last few years, and he had the purest heart of gold 💛 his obituary is so well written and I couldn’t agree more with your lovely words. After such an awful experience with a previous clinic, he took me in with open arms, made me feel so comfortable and taught me how to trust again. I gladly told him I simply will never trust another surgeon but him - I meant it! He really was one-of-a-kind and I’m so grateful I found him. I could tell from the moment I met him that all he did was truly care for his patients and wanted the best for them. I will never forget him. Thank you so much Mr Ahmad 💛 and send all my love to his family and friends 💛
October 11, 2025
I met you four times, but felt like I'd know you forever, I had my surgery 8 weeks ago, I was looked after by you and your team, I can't even begin to imagine how they are feeling and your beautiful family ❤️ im so glad I got to meet you and that I chose you to do my surgery
Rest in peace Mr Ahmad xx
