Mr Yassa recently treated my brother who sustained a traumatic fracture/dislocation of his hip whilst playing rugby. I met Mr Yassa both pre and post operatively on numerous occasions. Mr Yassa was kind and caring during a very stressful time. He was very understanding and considerate to the entire family who were extremely worried. He provided comprehensive explanations pre operatively and post operatively to manage our expectations. He was professional and reassuring and thanks to Mr Yassa so far the long term outcome is looking promising for an excellent recovery. I felt that he has been in very safe hands and I would have no hesitations in recommending Mr Yassa and his team.

Mr Yassa was my consultant for a dislocated hip and acetabular wall fracture. Pre-operatively, he explained to me clearly and in understandable terms my procedure in a confident and caring manner (ORIF with anchors). Post-operatively, he was friendly and approachable, but also very knowledgeable and answered any questions that I had and extensively explained what I could expect in the recovery process. I had total confidence throughout the process in Mr Yassa.
