Explanation

My experience with Mr. Shalaby from first meeting to last ( including surgery) was nothing short of excellent. My Achilles Tendon rupture was severe, requiring Mr. Shalaby to bridge a gap of 6 cm, the operation has been 100% successful and after 8 x months recuperation and physio’ I have returned to my occupation as a Aviation Firefighter. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Shalaby to anyone who requires his highly specialist skills.

Explanation

I am 81. I am basically very fit and healthy. After some months of physio treating Achilles tendinopathy, huge pain in calf muscles, the tendon finally ruptured after a small miss - step. A few days later there was NO PAIN, just an obvious gap beteen the ends of the tendon, and a very weak leg and poor balance. I was encouraged to see Mr Shalaby by reading excellent reviews on his surgical ability, his excellent diagnostic ability and his clear and concise explanations of any alternative choice in treatment, of probable surgical procedures and of the post operative immobilisation and treatment thereafter. An ultrasound scan confirmed his findings at the consultation. I have not yet had an operation Mr Shalaby has written very good and clear letters to my GP, with copies to me. He has also been very helpful discussing everything on the telephone. I have complete faith in him going forward.
