Excellent treatment. Only negative comment was that I was not prepared for the longer than expected recovery time. I walk in total 7 - 10 km per day. I thought that post 6 weeks of operation I would quickly regain my walking. This did not happen. It has taken in excess of 12 weeks post operation to be able to get even close to my pre walking distance. I would have liked to have been more prepared for this.

I really relied on Mr Shalaby’s consultations to get me through the healing of my broken ankle and operation on it. It’s a day job for Mr Shalaby but not being able to walk was temporarily life changing for me. I hugely appreciated the way he escalated my operation because he wasn’t completely happy with the way my foot was set in the cast. On top of that, Mr Shalaby’s non-technical explanations of the break and it’s healing process were critical for me to understand what was happening over the course of the consultations. Thank you, Mr Shalaby.

From the first meeting, I felt reassured that I was in safe hands. The diagnosis for my foot problem was fully explained, the procedure went to plan and the 12 week recovery plan went well. Each visit to Mr Shalaby was held in a courteous manner and the bonus has been at no time did I suffer any pain whatsoever throughout the 12 week recovery period.

Mr Shalaby explained the bunion corrective surgery clearly, he had a nice manner which put me at ease prior to the procedure. The follow-up appointment was also thorough, not rushed and Mr Shalaby explained the recovery process to me thoroughly.
