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.
Such a kind doctor, really took the time to explain the situation, the options and very caring towards our child (the patient) I would highly recommend him
Put us at ease, explained situation and what could be done. Overall very happy xx
Always runs to time. He’s a wonderful consultant and our son couldn’t ask for more to make him feel supported.
Max treated my son when he needed emergency surgery. He explains things clearly, answers questions with honesty and has been supportive and encouraging at a very difficult time.
Excellent paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. Holistic approach to both the child and the family. I have no hesitation recommending him.
