In my opinion, Mr Mokawem is an amazing consultant and someone that is a master of his field. He spoke with sheer confidence about the procedure to me before my surgery and reassured me that I would be in good hands. And indeed I was. If I were to have to do the procedure again, I would be grateful to have Mr Mokawem as my surgeon. Post-surgery he asked me about my condition and checked up on me which shows how he puts his patients first. I would certainly recommend this consultant .

Mr Mokawem has been fantastic from our first appointment. He listened our teenage son to and handled him brilliantly. He came across as calm, thoughtful and kind and my son had complete confidence in him. We were very pleased with his attention to detail and his honesty throughout.

Mr Mokawem recently carried out a two-stage instrumented correction and spinal fusion to treat our 14-year-old daughter’s severe scoliosis. When my daughter and I first met him in clinic, we appreciated at once his kindly manner, professionalism and self-possession. The way that he listens with quiet attention and his thoughtful, measured responses that are never hurried. He explained things with just the right level of detail – enough that we could make informed decisions and know what to expect, but not so much as to overwhelm us. Our daughter particularly appreciated his way of addressing her directly, always respectfully – reminding her more than once that it was her decision as to whether to operate. We already had the measure of him, but it was reassuring to see, during the two-week hospital stay, that he is so revered by his colleagues who enthused about his exceptional skills as a surgeon but also of his thorough decency and integrity as a human being. They told us he would do right by her, and indeed he has, keeping her safe and preserving as much flexibility in her spine as possible. Spinal surgeons carry an immense burden of responsibility – proportional to our fear as parents - but Mr Mokawem transcends it with his unwavering meticulous competence, sangfroid and equanimity. We are endlessly grateful.

Mr Mokawem operated on my daughter in 2021 for scoliosis. We were given incredible support and care before, during and after and the operation was a complete success. We couldn’t have wished for better.
