Marwan is superb! He was recommended to me by another sports doctor. I’ve seen him a couple of times now and he’s very professional, thorough and I completely trust him and his experience. He takes the time to answer my (many) questions fully, and liaised with my former doctor to get the full picture before we first met. I have total faith in him and his approach, and look forward to seeing him again soon.

The best in the business! Marwan was extremely thorough and asked all the right questions whilst listening attentively. He then went through a series of effective assessments, explaining everything thoroughly. He was able to identify my issue and provide me with appropriate rehab exercises. I have seen a number of private specialists and Marwan is the best of them all. His ability to identify issues that other specialists have not makes him the best option and more than worth the money

Dr Marwan was outstanding - clear, precise and took time to explain. I still have the handwritten diagram of my ankle. His recommendations were simple to understand and I've started the exercises today.

I was extremely nervous about having a steroid injection in my big toe, especially as a previous doctor had put me off having it done. However, as soon as I met Dr Al- Dawoud he immediately made me feel at ease. He took the time to explain everything clearly, including the possible side effects, but reassured me throughout. He was incredibly caring and patient, and explained the whole procedure step by step. I was very anxious beforehand, but he really helped calm my nerves. In the end, the procedure was absolutely fine and nowhere near as bad as I had imagined. I’m so glad I went ahead with it and would highly recommend him to anyone who might be feeling nervous about having a similar treatment.
