Dr Mifsud was very welcoming and explained everything relating to my child’s condition very calmly and clearly.
Dr Mifsud is excellent. He is kind, clear in his explanation, and talks to our son in such a lovely way. He takes the time to ensure we understand everything, and encourages our son to be part od the conversation.
As usual very helpful, caring and very professional. We are always reassured that our son is in good hands🙏
I'd like to share our very positive experience with Mr Mifsud, who treated my son for a pelvic avulsion injury. From the outset, Mr Mifsud's clinical judgement stood out. He diagnosed the issue quickly and accurately, a diagnosis that was subsequently confirmed by scan. Throughout our son's treatment, his advice was measured, practical and delivered empathetically. We were also grateful for how he managed the follow-up schedule, striking the right balance between sufficient monitoring and time to allow recovery/progress to occur, without unnecessary appointments. We would strongly recommend Mr Mifsud to any family in need of an orthopaedic consultant and are grateful for the excellent care he provided.
Max explained everything very clearly which my son really appreciated. He reviewed the X-rays that we had the same day as promised and called regarding next steps and to provide further clarity. Great service would recommend.
Dr Max was very warm, considerate and clear, discussing everything in a way that worked for a 13yr old
Mr Mifsud was very professional and also very friendly. He instantly put my son at ease and explained things clearly to him about what was happening and the next steps. We were in and out of our appointment within 15 minutes but at no point did it feel rushed.
Very friendly, informative and managed to figure out what the problem was after 1 appointment when we have seen numerous other doctors.
Mr Mifsud is an amazing, caring and professional consultant. He has always made my daughter feel very much at ease. He answers her questions clearly and in a way a 9 year old can understand, without being patronising. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, answer questions, clearly outlines treatment plans, which are specifically tailored to your child’s needs. You feel he has your back and you are getting best advice, which is reassuring for a parent with a child with extra needs trying to navigate a world that has a one size fits all approach.
Mr Mifsud is a stand-out surgeon. He combines exemplary clinical acumen alongside a calm and personable bedside manner. His communication style and skills are the best we’ve experienced in Orthopaedics which has made all of our appointments such a positive experience.. My child is always put at ease and included in the consultation and any decision-making by Mr Mifsud. It takes a lot of trust to put your child into someone else’s care, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Mifsud to anyone looking for a first class surgeon for their child.
Excellent paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. Holistic approach to both the child and the family. I have no hesitation recommending him.
