A colonoscopy is not a pleasant procedure to have to undergo, but the sensitivity and thoroughness with which Mr Abulafi carried out the process left me feeling totally reassured that this precautioary action had been well worthwhile.

I cannot recommend Dr Abulafi highly enough. He carried out my colonoscopy and endoscopy and was exceptional throughout. What really sets him apart is that he always comes to see you personally after the procedure to explain his findings clearly and calmly, so you are not left worrying while waiting for the written report. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and he takes the time to answer all questions thoroughly and reassuringly. He is an excellent consultant – kind, professional, and extremely patient-focused. I felt completely listened to and well cared for at every stage.

Mr. Abulafi is a very experienced consultant who communicates clearly. During our consultations, he was candid and transparent regarding post-op expectations, specifically concerning pain management and recovery timelines. I particularly appreciated that he never rushed our appointments, providing thorough care that exceeded the standard ten minute time slot
