Mr Elsaify went above and beyond my expectations when arranging my appointments and planning my proedure. I work a complexed schedule and Mr Elsaify ensured that this would have the least amount of disruption. His care and consideration throughout the whole journey of my treatment put me at great ease and comfort.

Mr El Saify did not listen to my wife He operates on many but rarely stays for the entire procedure. Instead sends one of his extended family members. He doesn't mention this at any meetings. Indeed he takes on many patients and outsources them like a middle man rarely staying for entire procedure. If you want a student with L plates who he gives the majority of his work too. But he doesn't mention it in his sales patter.

I cannot praise Mr Elsaify enough. Not only is he a wonderful surgeon but also a wonderful person. He is kind, caring, reassuring & everything a great Consultant should be. Top notch attendance both pre & post op & as I have high levels of anxiety he was able to calm me more than any other medic ever. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

From our first meeting i was put at ease and filled with confidence as he greeted me with a smile and a hand shake. Mr Elsaify spoke to me with respect, discussed my case and care in words i understood. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions, it was a stressful time for me. He had time for me and the plan of care we discussed was followed. He treated me as a real person not a number. The time scale for my surgery was quick and without complication. Mr Elsaify was very friendly, approachable, informative and had a sense of humour. I also became aware of how well-liked and respected he was by the ward staff, and how he worked with his colleagues, the rapport was evident. Mr Elsaify is a true professional and i wouldn't hesitate to be under his care again if needed (although i hope i don't need further surgery), i would recommend his services to anyone requiring general surgery.
