I have been consulting Dr Irfan Ahmad for my enlarged prostrate resulting in frequent urinations. He tried to manage it with different regimes of medicine but eventually decided to perform TURP. I was admitted in the Horizon Hospital on January 27, 2025 when Dr Irfan performed this procedure. I was in the hospital for about 4 days and my experience during this time was pleasant as all the Urology staff was readily available and quite friendly. Dr Irfan handled the case professionally. I am now well on the path of recovery. I want to thank all the staff especially Ms Beenish who was available for help when needed. God bless you all.
I was diagnosed with early stage prostrate cancer and I consulted a number of Urologist in Pakistan and abroad. I came across Dr Irfan Sb in Horizon hospital and consulted him a number of time. It was explained to me in clear terms that there is possibility of urine control loss after removal of prostrate. I was operated in Horizon Hospital in May 2020 and was discharged from hospital within three days. Alhamdulillah my surgery was successful and I resumed my normal routine after three weeks with excellent urine control . Since than I have referred to Dr Irfan a number of my friends suffering with such issues and every one was satisfied with their treatment. I keep in touch with Doctor Sb every six months to a year for check up and always found him to be responsive and caring. Allah bless him.
A.A. Dear All, I want to seek your attention for a few moments. I am an 'Assistant Professor of English' working with the Punjab Higher Education Department. Last year, I developed Bladder Tumor, and I got my surgery (TURBT) from Respected Dr. Irfan Ahmed at Horizon Hospital, Johar Town and am still getting maintenance treatment from him. Ma-sha-Allah, What a doctor! I have no words to describe this great man. Highly knowledgeable, exceptionally skilled and fully charged with professional commitment. The way he treated, encouraged and motivated me is simply amazing. He is committed to his purpose. He is a true lover of Allah and His Prophet (PBUH) and has a God-fearing nature. All his para-medics especially his theater staff are well-trained, very polite, cooperative and respectful. May Allah keep you happy and healthy! But (God forbid) if you ever suffer from any problem related to Urology, I would strongly recommend Dr. Irfan Ahmed. In-sha-Allah, you will be in safe hands. May Allah bless him for ever n ever!الحمدللہ
Hospital are never a good place to visit but a compassionate and professional doctor can make the experience bearable. Recently I was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and visited Dr Irfan Ahmed, consultant urologist at Horizon Hospital, Lahore. I found Dr Irfan Ahmed to be extremely professional and empathetic. I was understandably distraught after sudden diagnosis of cancer but the way he guided and conducted my treatment was exceptional. He explained every nitty gritty details and counseled me regarding treatment options in a very comprehensive manner. I consented to surgery knowning that I was in good hands. My surgery went well and I'm on the road to recovery. I would also appreciate the attitude and care provided by all the doctors and nursing staff of his team at Horizon Hospital. I wish Dr Irfan Ahmed well and would highly recommend him for urology issues to other patients.

Abdul Hayee (Advocate)
Diagnosis: Bladder Cancer
Operation: Radical Cystectomy and construction of Neo Bladder
I Abdul Hayee (64 years old), lawyer by profession, was diagnosed with urinary bladder cancer seven years ago. Biopsy was done in other hospital where the actual reason was known. The doctor in services hospital refused me for further treatment and referred me to consult some oncologist.
Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre was the only institute came in my mind. I went there in Walk in department. After reviewing my condition, as urination was not under controlled and bladder was not fully emptied so they referred me to Dr. Irfan Ahmed, Urologist/Surgeon, Uro-Oncologist.
On next day, I and my wife went there; we were very confuse and nervous. He was very friendly in very first meeting, the pleasure and smile was the only thing that made me calm. He seemed very passionate and responsible.
He asked me questions regarding my condition and further followed up after MRI. After MRI, I went again to doctor, there was a panel sitting in a room with Dr. Irfan Ahmed.
They told me the whole scenario that there was a cancer in my bladder. And they told me their decision that Radial Cystectomy and Urinary diversion would be done and neo-bladder means a new bladder would be made from my small intestine. During this whole time, my heart was started sinking, and went in unconscious state.
Then, Dr bucked me up, everything will be gone alright InshAllah. The next week, I was admitted there. On 1st March, 2011, 12 hours surgery was done. When I opened my eyes, Dr Irfan was there with smiling face. This made me relieved that surgery was carried out successfully.
Then I was there for seven days more, after surgery. Dr. Irfan visited me every day to watch my recovery. He asked me the questions regarding how am I feeling and how is everything going. He listened me very carefully and answers all my queries too.
Dr Irfan Ahmed is not a doctor for me but a life saver for me. He is a reason that I am still living a normal life. I am absolutely fine and new bladder working normal after seven years.
I am still in the follow up of Dr. Irfan. I always found Dr. Irfan Ahmed good to his patients. He is not only a doctor, but also a good scientist to help his patients using diagnostic methods to identify the problems, which are very good scientific approach to resolve problems.
No doubt he is a person full of knowledge, caring and enthusiastic regarding his profession. He is very accommodating and explained everything in a calm and understandable manner. I had been visited to a lot of doctors and specialists during this whole problem and it’s very difficult to get a satisfaction from doctor.
I can’t express my affectation and thanks for Dr Irfan Ahmed in words. May Allah Bless him and his family with good health and more success in life (Ameen).

Engr. Muhammed Ashraf Mughal
Diagnosis: Bladder Cancer
Operation: Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion
I was a patient of “Bladder Cancer” and was treated in Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, Lahore. First of all I am extremely thankful to Almighty Allah Who bestowed upon me blessings of recovery from illness and good health.
Then I am highly grateful to Dr Irfan Ahmed Sahib who examined my case and persuaded me for an immediate operation, because I was hesitant and reluctant to undergo an operation. He emphasized that operation was the only remedy for curing this disease. Ultimately, I was convinced and operated on 22.01.2013.
I have recovered from illness and now I am enjoying good health. I have resumed light routine daily life through the grace of Almighty Allah. Besides, I am fully satisfied with the results of the operation, as well as, its conductance methodology and procedures.
Further, I feel it unfair, if I do not acknowledge the services/ help rendered by the nursing staff, who gave no opportunity of any complaint. Specially the name of Mr Sunil is worth mentioning for showing a high sense of responsibility and sympathetic attitude towards the patients.
However, this does not mean to under-rate the rest of the staff—they are all dedicated, dutiful and respect worthy.
During my stay in the hospital I felt a sense of complete discipline and even a minutest breach of discipline and infringement of rules was not observed.
May the hospital be a source of help to the mankind for curing this dreadful disease! (Ameen)
