Mr AlKhaffaf saw me as an NHS patient on 10/10/16 for potential Gall Bladder removal procedure. It was confirmed that I needed my Gall Bladder removing. This procedure via keyhole surgery was completed on 14/11/16 by Mr AlKhaffaf. I was advised that the recovery time was 7 to 10 days. I was back running after 3 weeks with no problems. Still no problems as at 3/2/17. Mr AlKhaffaf acted with professionalism at all times. He explained fully why the procedure was necessary (I had no symptoms or problems with my Gall Bladder before or at the time), what the implications were if I didn't proceed, the potential risks during and following the procedure and the recovery times etc. He listened to my concerns, particularly the concerns with regard to my Liver. Allaying my fears post surgery before I was discharged the same day. I appreciated this and the fact that he saw and spoke to me in the recovery room and on the ward before I went home. A very polite and patient consultant who I would not hesitate to recommend. I felt I had been provided with a private health service (albeit I have never undergone private medical treatment) as an NHS patient. Thank you.

I recently had a hernia repair done by doctor Bilal ALKhaffaf and I found him to be really genuine and caring, he seems dedicated to the work he does in the way he explained and outlined this type of operation and I am now pain free with minimal and neat scaring, there is without doubt I would recommend doctor ALKhaffaf to family and friends and use myself again in the future should I need this type of operation. I found the whole experience as not having a operation before that I would be really worried and frightened but once in the doctors hands it was o-k and I never needed to worry as I never felt a thing, so again fantastic treatment

I had an inguinal hernia op and Mr Alkhaffaf carried out the procedure. From our very first meeting I felt totally at ease. He explained the pro's and cons of everything that he would be doing and some of the things that could happen, and what would be involved after the operation for my recovery period. He also told me of the options open to me and we decided on which would be best for me. My operation was a success and better than I expected, my recovery has been good. I would like to thank Mr Alkhaffaf and should I ever need his help again (hopefully not) I would be more than happy to have him as my surgeon. I would like to add The Alexandra hospital would be 5 star if it was a hotel. I was treated very well by everyone and didn't have to wait about. On the whole a very pleasant experience considering the circumstances.
