- Very happy with my treatment. My shafafy explained the surgery fully and managed my expectations. The surgery was a success and has changed my life for the better after over 20 years of pain and no relief. Can recommend him to anyone considering back surgery. Many thanks
- Mr Shafafy is an excellent consultant. I have always been happy being under his care.
- Thoughtful, considerate, sympathetic and all round gentleman, very precise and informative with his level of understanding and has helped me significantly on my road to recovery and through the treatment process. I can thank Dr Shafafy enough.
- I am completing this on behalf of my mum, Jacqueline Featherstone. After the appointment and receiving the letter outlining the consultation, my mum felt that her concerns about her back pain and extreme difficulty walking had not been listened to at all but more assumed.
