Explanation

Mr Elalfy was very clear in all his explanations from the 1st consultancy through to the op. He did not make me feel like a number as some do. He gave time for questions, discussion and for decisions to be made. In hospital his relaxed manor helped greatly and I felt totally at ease with him in the theater. He was very good talking me through what was happening and that helped and was interesting. Probably an unusual thing to say but a good experience, not what I was expecting. thank you
