Doctor Harb's diagnosis and consequential treatment has been detrimental in both improving the movement in my left ankle and halting future tendon damage. I was lucky enough to see him at St Peters for a follow up appointment. I had had a very bad fall in February 2018 which dislocated and broke all the bones in my left ankle. I was operated on the following morning and my care throughout was outstanding. Physio was duly arranged but was proving difficult due to restricted movement which was a concern to me. In July I experienced terrible pain in my left shin, ankle and foot and consequently an operation was arranged to remove the metal wiring as it was a possible cause and no longer required. The surgeon however, made the decision to cancel my operation on the day following a consultation - this proved to be a bad decision. Consequently seeing Dr Harb at the follow up appointment in September was a godsend. He was so concerned by this that he arranged an ultrasound scan that showed a 3cm lesion in my tendon caused by the internal metal wiring. A new (essential) operation was duly booked in November which Dr Harb performed himself and ever since then I have continued to make huge progress. The lesion was stitched and repaired and having all the wiring removed has greatly improved my ankle movement. I have nothing but gratitude for Mr Ziad Harb for his professionalism and perseverance and I am truly thankful that I met with him on September 21st 2018.
