Mr Michael Mokawem performed L4/L5 decompression surgery on my spine during the afternoon of Saturday 14th December 2019. I met him prior to that in a consultation whereby he presented himself exactly as I wished to see my Consultant Spinal Surgeon. My first impressions on meeting Michael were of a professional, experienced, knowledgeable and well presented individual (I’d checked him out online before meeting him to put my mind at rest). He was well dressed, well spoken, well turned out and clean looking, all important attributes to me as I was going to let this man perform surgery on me. On the day of the operation, he came to my hospital bedside to discuss the procedure once again, answer any further questions that I may have had and provided me with some timing estimates. His bedside manner was faultless and he once again put my mind at rest. I was eventually taken to the recovery room where I waited for a short time before I was taken forward to be anaesthetised and I assume on in to the operating theatre. Michael, even at that late stage, found time whilst I waited in the recovery room to once again reassure me, albeit in passing to check on his previous patient. The procedure went well and in the blink of an eye I was back in recovery and eventually returned to my room where the nurses continued monitoring me through the night. I next saw Michael the following day when he came to check on me and discharge me back home. I have nothing but the utmost praise for Mr Michael Mokawem and would recommend him to everyone and anyone. At all times he was most professional but he also had that special quality to never forget that the patient, who may have been anxious and a little afraid, required that human touch and the reassurance that he provided.
