Reviews
Couldn’t have got better service.
Excellent communication - clear, prompt, reassuring and a good level of information.
Excellent bedside manner - Mr Mokawem has kind and caring personal manner and has been very helpful from our initial meeting all the way through to my inpatient stay.
I had spent 3-4 months in severe debilitating pain in both my back and right leg. This has resulted in 2 weeks in an NHS hospital and various visits to A&E and medical clinics. The NHS had suggested 9-12 months of drugs and physio to resolve this problem.
As my pain became more severe I consulted with Michael who infirmed me that I should look to proceed with surgery. Michael was fantastic from our first interaction, speaking in a way that was easy for me to understand, reassuring me of my benefits of surgery, but equally giving absolute clarity as to the risks.
2 weeks after our first consultation I proceeded with surgery with Michael, I am writing this report 5 days after. All my pain has gone with the exception of some soreness from surgery which is to be expected.
In summary, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Michael to any patient suffering with similar issues.
In my initial consultation, tests and follow up appointment and experience to date, I found Mr Michael Mokawem to be extremely helpful, professional, taking time out of hours to go through my results and course of action. Mr Mokawem was kind, helpful and reassuring and also extremely understanding and comprehensive in his review of my results and the explanation of them. I appreciated his calmness and empathy which were both excellent. I must also comment on Jeannette his manager who was exceptionally kind and extremely efficient. When you come across outstanding service and good people, it is nice to recognise and acknowledge them.
Mr Mokawem is very kind, patient and trustworthy. He always explained my Daughters procedures very clearly and in a way that we could both fully understand. He always had time to answer any questions and never seemed in a hurry or ever rushed his answers. My Daughter was in hospital for just over two weeks and Mr Mokawem saw my daughter regularly during her Hospital stay to see how her recovery was going. He is an excellent surgeon and did an amazing job with correcting my Daughters scoliosis, we are beyond happy with the result. We couldn't recommend him highly enough.
