He shows great skill in specific procedures, including hernia surgery, colonoscopy, and endoscopy. Patients value his clear explanation of treatment and thorough way of checking problems, especially for bowel and colorectal issues and haemorrhoids.
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.
Very well explained, very calm & listens very carefully , give advice.
I am most grateful to Mr Muti Abulafi for his excellent medical service and patient support. I am delighted that I made the decision to attend Shirley Oaks Hospital to deal with my medical condition. Kind regards, Michael
Mr.Abulafi is so experienced and well professional. He explained my symptoms and procedures that had been performed in simple terms which made me more comfortable and less anxious. Thanks.
From my initial meeting with Muti Abulafi I found him to be professional and gave me the confidence that I was in safe hands. From my experience I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending him .
Mr Abulafi was friendly, exceedingly knowledgeable and very reassuring
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.
I attended Hospital in order to have some internal piles banded during a colonoscopy.
It was delightful. All done in a timely fashion. Great coffee. Would have liked a biscuit, as it was in the evening.
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
