Extremely pleased with my experience at the Yorkshire Clinic. Mr Elshaer was so professional explaining the operation in detail and the outcome and possible side effects. I completely trusted his professionalism and knew I was in safe hands.
Fantastic. Well informed what was going on. Couldn't ask for anymore
Excellent from start to finish !! 1st appointment to the last
I was soo happy ther service and the staff was soo nice and kind thank u
Referred to the Yorkshire Clinic by my own Doctor and on admission to the Clinic I was shown the most courteous experience from the nursing staff together with Mr Elshaer. I would recommend without any doubt the Yorkshire Clinic to my family and friends.
I had bariatric surgery with Mr Elshaer and he was wonderful - clear communication, an excellent bedside manner and I felt extremely well cared for and safe.
Apart from waiting half an hour i like going there as it is clean , quiet and well organised. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Mr Elshaer comes across as very polite and professional. I felt very comfortable with him and he did a great job of my hernia operation.
Explained concerns , felt listened to, was seen and operation date received really quickly.
