I was very fortunate to see Mr Zekry for consultation after my first very complex elbow operation in the Homerton hospital following a very serious elbow multiple fracture. He explained everything to me in great detail and he was extremely professional. Unfortunately I broke my ulna bone and the head of the radial bone shortly after this consultation for the second time. I decided to have Mr Zekry to do the second operation. I was told that originally the hospital wanted to replace the broken head of the radial bone with a metal one which probably will lead to serious mobility issues of my arm. Mr Zekry fixed the broken ulna during the second operation and decided not to remove the head of the radial bone but to let it heal naturally. Because of his excellent skills during the operation the broken radial head healed perfectly. He saved my arm which now is functioning almost as normal. I am for ever grateful to Mr Zekry for his fantastic skills as a surgeon and also for his extremely detailed and very honest explanation of all details which I deeply appreciate. He is very positive and reassuring. I owe him the perfect function of my arm at present. I can work and do all activities without a single problem. I will recommend his expertise to everyone who needs help following the difficult times after arm fracture.
Medhat Zekry is a good surgeon in my experience. He provided clear analysis showed me X-rays and explained the options. The surgery went well, new thumb joint in place and settling in. I’m 5 weeks into recovery and mobility and grip are already good.. The before and after x rays show a new straight aligned thumb connected to my wrist compared with a dislocated thumb and chronically painful hand and wrist before. Many thanks Mr Zekry. I recommend you..
As a doctor myself, I can easily say that Dr. Zekri is hands down one of the best hand specialists in the country. I suffered a hand injury playing football, as goalkeeper. Dr. Zekry spotted my scaphoid fracture, which was missed by the radiologist upon initial X-ray. He immediately changed my treatment and I am now following the right protocol, without which there would’ve been drastic consequences that would only be noticed months from now. He is extremely knowledgeable and explained to me my treatment options, and was very empathetic and kind. I look forward to fully healing in 5 weeks, and I’m sure I am in safe hands.
Mr Zekry, is always very pleasant and proffessional. He always ensures that I understand and explains forthcoming procedures. I have great faith and trust in him.
Doctor Zekry is extremely knowledgeable and I had a fantastic experience in his care. He immediately recognised the lump in my wrist was a ganglion cyst. The surgery went well and even when I was on holiday, he made himself available to review my concerns over the weekend. I would highly recommend!! :)
Dr Zekry has been great with me. Kept me informed throughout the process and I always felt confident I would achieve the range I needed again in my finger.
Mr Zekry is an experienced surgeon who is also wonderful communicator. He explained all my surgical options very clearly, and gave me plenty of time to discuss my decision. I felt entirely confident in to proceed with surgery. The results were excellent, and Mr Zekry has been attentive to the after-care, and also is terrific in his liaison with other medical professionals from nursing staff to physiotherapy. I’m delighted with my results and cannot thank him enough for his expert and compassionate care
Throughout My whole experience and visits with mr Zakary were very professional and handled with great care ,, appointments on time , service was second to none, , would recommend the Doctor, staff and the hospital .
Mr Zekry is my go to surgeon for hand and wrist problems that require surgical intervention. Hand surgery is such a delicate affair and I feel assured when Mr Zekry is caring for my patients due to his fastidious approach and patient centred care. I would recommend him for any surgical opinion related to rheumatoid arthritis or sports medicine in the hand and wrist
