I needed a clear explanation of my back problem diagnosis alongside reassurances and strategies to help myself manage my discomfort and pain. Mr Shafafy provided all of this with kindness and I came away very satisfied with my consultation.

Medically, Mr Shafafy was absolutely excellent. His explanations helped me have a better understanding of my condition and the ways in which it can be managed. My reluctance to give him five stars across the board was because of his slightly brusque manner.
