Mr Hawar Akrawi

Written by a patient at Royal Cornwall Hospital

After nearly 18 months of various visits to in total 2 consultants, I was referred to Mr Akwari. Well what an fantastic relief! He listened to all of my concerns, competently examined my knee - which due to the time frame of waiting, I had gone from an active 5 times a week gym goer, ultra runner and rugby player to light short exercises as it was unable to sustain any long term exercise, movement or weight gain. After a very short time, I received my surgery date, I went in on 2nd October, had extensive surgery and woke up hours later, with no pain! Yes, I edged open one eye expecting difficulties, I never had. Pre surgery Dr Akrawi spent time revisiting me, going through an extensive rehab schedule and gave a wealth of information and advice. I went home that evening and the following day set about my schedule. With day 1 being surgery day, by day 3 I hopped onto a static bike, it was hard, I will admit, but I continued to listen to my body and by Day 8, I was peddling a full range and motion, I was off crutches by Day 6 and back in the gym working on building range, strength and support. I followed his advice to the dot and I excelled, returning to work 2 weeks later. In January, 3 months after surgery I went skiing in the Alps, I have returned back to running, completing a recent half marathon and recently playing my first full rugby game in a year and half! Polite, supportive and knowledgeable - I could not ask for better! Thank you Hawar - I have sung your praises for months, you are a credit to the NHS and RCHT.

My daughter was extremely nervous, Dr Akrawi was very patient and considerate with her. He explained his examination clearly and thoroughly to put her at ease. Was a positive experience, Dr Akwari rewuested a MRI scan and the service was excellent was given an appointment within forty eight hours.

Mr Akrawi gave my daughter the most incredible level of care. His communication, care and compassion was noticeably impressive and he spent a lot of time explaining the procedure and gave us a really clear understanding of the injury and of what she could expect post op. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, he made the whole family feel safe and was amazing in his care.
