Mr Hawar Akrawi 2023-06-26 Person 5 5 0

My son and I had the delight to meet Mr Akrawi in April 2023. He was the 4th or 5th orthopaedic surgeon who had been consulted regarding my 14yr old sons previously undiagnosed leg locking incidents which had becoming increasingly problematic over a 5 year period. Mr Akrawi listened to both my son and I, and took a genuine interest in the history of his knees. Shortly after this meeting Mr Akrawi performed Meniscus and root repair surgery on my sons right knee in Raigmore Hospital. He clearly explained the plans for the operation which included a number of senarios and put us both at ease. He took time to answer both our questions regarding the treatment and rehabilitation. When entering theatre with my son Mr Akrawi told me personally he would take great care of my son and that I had nothing to worry about - a very personal touch that will stay with me - I felt great comfort in his words. After surgery, whilst still in the recovery room Mr Akrawi showed great passion in sharing the procedure detail and images with myself - which I found very interesting and helpful. 4 weeks later my son required additional unscheduled surgery to his 2nd knee - knowing this would be performed by Mr Akrawi delighted me as I knew he was in safe expert hands.
