Mr Dabke operated on my back for the first time in January 2019, I had met him before the operation and he explained the problem with my back including what he intended to do and what could go wrong. I found him to be a charming man, calm and caringe. I had every confidence in him. After the operation, he was very informative as to how the operarion went, writing to me and my Doctor, adding that if ever I had further issues with my back, (which shows degeneration) then he would be happy to see me. This was a bonus, as, unfortunately I did have more problems with my back, so with the information from Mr Dabkes' previous letter, I was able to be re referred. This was last year. He did try the injection in my lower back in October, which sadly didn't help. Mr Dabke phoned me to see how I was, and as I was still in pain made an appointment to see me on 23rd December. We discussed having another operation which could involve metal work and also could have high risks with it, Mr Dabke was very informative, kind, calm, and I felt very comfortable with him. I signed for the operation, had an xray, and he said that he would refer my case to his fellow surgeons and let me know, which he did. My back operation was on 18th May this year. with great success.During my 5 day stay at New Hall Hospital, Mr Dabke came to see me without fail, despite his busy scedule, every day, sometimes of an evening. This to me, was so comforting. Hospitals are very busy places, Nurses and carers are fully stretched and at times it can feel a very lonely place, this is just how it is, I understand, it is a difficult situation with low resources. But seeing Mr Dabke, I felt that all was well with his calm, quiet and kind air about him. To me, he is ....amazing. I saw Mr Dabke this week, I am now discharged, he is pleased with me says I am doing well, and again if I should have any problems then he would be happy to see me. He was very kind, calm and listened to me, advising me also of the excersise programme that I'd been given by my NHS physio who had had to cancell my last appointment with her. I have had many operations in my life, so feel that I can speak honestly because of this and Mr Dabke is Number One as far as I'm concerned. Thank you Mr Dabke.
