Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala

Written by a NHS patient at Chase Farm Hospital

We had every trust and had no hesitation in Mr Dudhniwala's ability to carry out a coccygectomy. I would say he is a very good communicator and can make you feel totally relaxed with his confidence and no hesitation approach. He explained the whole procedure and what to expect after coccygectomy surgery. I was also aware that it was rarely recommended and performed so I had a lot to think about. I was aware that postoperative recovery from the surgery can be a long and uncomfortable process I had every trust in his ability and had no hesitation in going ahead with the op. He communicated every stage and options of my treatment planned together with clear, concise explanation on how procedures would progress in the short and long term post operative. Post operative follow up appointment He listened to my concerns and ruled out any other issue or concerns. It was the right decision for me and I am happy I had this operation after a long term of suffering.

Five stars in all categories is something I would rarely give in a review, but in the treatment I received from Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala it is totally justified. I felt confident from the very first consultation that I was receiving sound advice and expert treatment. I was confident in his knowledge and ability as a surgeon. The results proved that this confidence was well placed. I also particularly noticed his friendly, approachable manner and willingness to explain my medical condition and answer my long list of questions. I was also pleased that his approach to my surgery was to be 'adaptive' in that he would broaden the procedure depending on the actual condition of my spine discovered during surgery. This gave me real confidence in the outcome. Of course, Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala was at pains to carefully explain the risks and manage my expectations of surgery. I am very pleased and lucky to have been treated by Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala and his medical team.

I have been seeing Mr Duthniwala as an out patient for just over a year and then on 17 January 2023 he operated on me “ Decompression Surgery of Spinal cord”. I had a uneventful and perpetual recovery. He is a good person, kind to his patients and a good surgeon. I am absolutely happy with care and attention I had from him as an outpatient, then pre-operative period and post-operative during my hospital stay and in the follow up after I was discharged from hospital.
