Mr Muti Abulafi is clear, reassuring, and excellent in his interactions with patients. He provides clear explanations for medical information and ensures patients feel safe and understood during procedures such as colonoscopy and endoscopy. Patients feel confident in his professionalism, skill, and expertise for surgical procedures. His care frequently addresses colonoscopy, colorectal surgery, endoscopy, and haemorrhoid treatments.
Mr Abulafi was exceptional from the initial consultation through treatment and aftercare. He explained my condition and the necessary treatment clearly. His post operative communication and advice in future steps were also made very clear.
Mr Abulafi is away kind and helpful. Answers any questions in a clear and easy to follow plan. He does his best to try and make you feel confident, even if the problem has caused a setback in something that was planned as the final part of the problem. He is very considerate and never keeps you in the dark about what he proposes and listens to the ideas we have.
I continue to be a patient of Mr Abulafi's and am very reluctant to see anyone else - his expertise in this area never ceases to amaze me. He has a wonderful bedside manner, is very diligent, clear, concise and ensures I receive the best treatment possible for my bowel condition. Highly recommended!
I was able to get an appointment quickly, the consultation was thorough and a course of action agreed. The procedures required were carried out in a timely manner and results conveyed clearly and promptly. It was much less stressful than anticipated and, most important, I was listened to.
Mr Abulafi has been my surgeon for three years and I can’t stress enough how well he has looked after me. He’s always kind and open and he manages to answer even the most complicated questions in a clear and reassuring way. Having surgery is always a worrying time but Mr Abulafi’s kindness and understanding make it much easier. I would highly recommend him.
He is a really lovely Doctor he gave me an examination and told me that I had a rectocele. He explained it all and referred me to Dr Sultan for further advise. Very pleased
Mr Abulafi is very understanding and always does his best to explain what is needed and how it will be achieved. I am still under his care as he continues to move forward with my treatment and I know I am in safe hands.
After 2+ years going through diagnosis, surgery and follow-ups, I have complete confidence in Mr Abulafi's knowledge and skill. He explains what he is doing during examinations, answers my questions clearly without using excessive jargon and takes a holistic view of my health.
