I had keyhole surgery on my ankle after putting up with pain for a long time. The surgeon was lovely and made me feel at ease from the start. He explained everything and gave me good advice about getting back on my feet after the operation. My recovery went well and I’m really happy with the treatment I received.

I had bunion surgery with Tarek & was really pleased with the whole experience. I was surprised to be able to walk in a special shoe so soon after the operation. Everything was explained clearly & I always felt I was in good hands. Very happy with the result.

The night before my surgery I was really scared. Mr ElGamal came to see me beforehand and went through everything again, step by step. He answered all my silly questions without making me feel stupid. By the time I went in I was still nervous but I trusted him. That made a massive difference.
