I cannot recommend Mr. El-Deen highly enough. Behind his very reassuring 'bedside-manner', there is a gentleman of real substance. As an eighty-year old with no experience of hospital treatment other than occasional visits to A&E with relatively trivial injuries in my footballing days, it was with more than some trepidation that I approached my first consultation with Mr. El-Deen. Later confirmed by an X-ray taken on the day of the consultation, a need for total hip replacement was established. Mr. El-Deen could not have been more reassuring, and patiently answered all my questions - in great detail when required - probably asked with a certain amount of panic! Subsequently, Mr. El-Deen performed the surgery (conducted with spinal-block anaesthesia), cheerfully interacting with me and the rest of his team in the operating theatre. All my previous fears were unfounded, and at no stage did I feel pain or even significant discomfort. I was discharged later the same day, being able to walk with the aid of a single stick. At the time I described it as almost a "fun day"! As I write this, nearly six-weeks later and having been checked out by Mr. El-Deen a few days ago, I can walk without a stick and without a limp, everything feeling very nearly perfectly 'normal'. I do feel tired at times, but he assures me this is not unusual following "major surgery" which I keep forgetting that I have had, given how smoothly everything has gone. The whole experience with Mr. El-Deen and his team has been beyond my most optimistic expectations: to be able to walk again without pain, has transformed what has been for me a rather ugly previous eighteen months or more. I can offer no "constructive suggestions" (as requested) as to how Mr. El-Deen could improve his care, although, being the sort of man he is, I would guess he is constantly applying this sort of introspection. If this review seems obsequious then so be it. I can only 'speak as I find'.

In 2015 I had my first hip replacement and was lucky enough to have Mr Eldeen as my surgeon.Since then he has operated on my other hip and right knee, so I am now officially bionic ! It is thanks to this mans skills and expertise, and the care of the staff at Shepton Mallet hospital , that I am now pain free for the first time in many years.I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making it possible for me to do the things I love again, scuba diving and looking after my horses.

After 6 years of increasing arthritic hip pain I took the decision to seek a hip replacement through the NHS. I was recommended to Shepton Mallet hospital where waiting lists are shorted than many of the larger general hospitals. After a thorough consultation with a consultant at the end of November 2021 I was offered a total hip replacement at short notice in January 2022. Mr El-Deen was my surgeon; he met me before the operation and reassured me, giving me confidence and courage (I was quite nervous). The care during my recovery over 24 hours in Shepton Mallet hospital was outstanding - every member of staff, cleaners, caterers, caretakers, nurses, doctors, was professional, thoughtful, friendly and efficient. I felt respected and safe. After X ray checks and physiotherapy advice I left the hospital and returned home with my wife. My recovery over the next 6 weeks was supported by the knowledge that we could speak directly to medical staff at the hospital whenever we needed advice; again this was provided efficiently and professionally. I followed the exercise plan rigorously. Now after 8 weeks I am walking daily 2 or 3 miles with absolutely no pain, exercising in a gym and beginning to build back my strength and fitness. Mr El-Deen has followed up with a personal phone consultation and I feel huge gratitude to him and all the hospital staff for their work.

Mr El-Deen completed surgery for a hip replacement after an extended failure to diagnose my condition through the system. I found his competency, communicative and caring attention for my condition ‘very’ reassuring. Having completed some initial inquiry on who I wanted to operate I found his qualifications, research and experience very solid. I feel the decision was well founded 10 weeks post operation. My operation was my first, so levels of anxiety were heightened. Mr El-Deen works in team of ‘international’ professionals (nurses, doctors, anaesthetist’s and support services)at Shepton Mallet who provide comprehensive, communicative care and support
