Mr Elmetwally, was most helpful and more so reassuring both in his manner, expertise and understanding. He was extremely knowledgeable and did what I would consider a very thorough examination to fully understand symptoms, he walked me through the various options and was candid with me on his thoughts. I felt very reassured and came out from my initial meeting with a plan for treatment. Extremely knowledgeable and courteous, most reassuring!
