  • Mr Alazzawi is friendly and charming with an excellent bedside manner. He does not keep you waiting and answers all your questions very clearly. I had a total hip replacement six weeks ago and could not be more pleased. I can now walk normally and without pain. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
