Mr Shafafy has been an exceptional surgeon. He has always taken the time to listen attentively to my concerns and explain my current recovery status. He answers every question thoroughly and with patience, which has given me great confidence and reassurance throughout the process. Mr Shafafy has always demonstrated great professionalism, expertise, and a caring approach, which has made a significant difference to my experience as a patient.
Dr Shafafy is incredibly supportive, he answered all my queries and reassured me that I have fully recovered. He also helped me to better understand everything I needed to know about my recovery , without exposing me to the ‘gruesome’ parts that I didn’t need to know . Thank you Dr Shafafy ! He is the best Surgeon in the world (my saviour).
It was very good. The nurse and doctor explained everything clearly and I got to see my updated x ray and I now understand the following steps I need to take to ensure a good further recovery
Efficient and respectful. All needs met. Professional and thorough. Listened and explained everything. I cannot thank Mr Shafafy enough for all he has done.
Dr. Shafafy was really helpful explaining everything to me asked me to be open with all my questions to make sure that I could get the most out of the visit. He was thorough in all the explanations and took time to ensure that I understood next steps, consequences and also decision making. Great experience
I cannot thank Mr Shafafy and his team enough for the exceptional care and skill he provided during my scoliosis surgery. From start to finish, his professionalism, confidence, and compassion gave me complete trust in the process. The outcome has genuinely changed my life, and I am incredibly grateful for everything he and his team have done. He is an outstanding surgeon, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing this journey. He has given me a new lease on life.
My experience was excellent from start to finish . The procedure was explained in detail and after the procedure Mr Shafafy said the procedure had gone very well. Plus Ithe pain I was experiencing is now back under control.
I visited Mr Shafafy regarding long standing chronic back pain which I had been managing conservatively for the last 10 years. My symptoms got worse and the nerve pain & numbness became constant making day to day tasks, working & outdoor activities more difficult to complete. Mr Shafafy took the time to understand my condition, empathise with me and discuss both surgical and non surgical options. Along with any potential risks/ complications to consider. I felt that I was fully supported and informed throughout the process of having an L4/5 fusion by him and can’t thank Mr Shafafy & his team enough for the incredible service they have provided me from the moment I stepped into clinic to the day I left the hospital following the surgery.
