Mr Dabis fully explained all aspects of the operation including, healing time, what to expect after the operation and risks. He was very reassuring and a pleasure to deal with. I am very happy with all aspects of the procedure and the outcome.

Mr Dabis treated our 17 year old daughter following a ski accident. He was incredibly patient, realistically explaining her injury, treatment and recovery, taking into account her up coming A level exams. He bestowed upon her the importance of physio, both pre and post surgery to aid her recovery. She quickly regained mobility following his surgery and continues to recover well. We always felt she was in the safest of hands, and the care we have received has been beyond excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend treatment with Mr Dabis.

Clearly explained what to expect . Mr Dabis was very professional , but at the same time approachable and very good at putting you at ease. He listened very carefully to my concerns and answered questions giving me all the time I needed . He was positive while still not underestimating the procedure and this gave me the confidence to proceed .

We found Dr Dabis for an injury to our young Son’s right knee. We could see from research that he was pre-eminent in his field but in-person he is a revelation. Clear in his explanations, kind in his manner and with a sparkling personality.

Mr Dabis is a talented surgeon with a warm, reassuring team; I had major surgery on both knees by robotic surgery. My condition was so painful I could barely make it to the hospital as the determination during the last month was extremely painful. I dreaded going to the theatre, but five hours later, I was back in my room and pain-free. From the following morning, I could use the bathroom and walk almost unaided. Seven weeks later, there is virtually no visible scar, and swelling is barely noticeable. I'm advised that full recovery and muscle strength will take a few more months, but I'm delighted with the results, the backup, and the practical advice whenever needed. Thank you again, Dr Dabis and Team. I'm feeling 30 years younger!

Mr Dabis has recently seen my husband and I, and we are forever grateful for all the help we got from him and his practice manager. We had all our questions and concerns answered, Mr Dabis took his time to listen to us and made sure to reassure us. Mina has been very helpful and quick at responding to our enquiries which made the whole journey less stressful for us.
