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.

Worth the fee to be able to talk to an expert who isn't clock watching. Feel much happier about my diagnosis now.

Mr Shafafy is a great doctor who did an excellent job. The surgery went great and the incision looks amazing. Throughout my hospital stay he checked up on me and made sure I was ok. He answered all my questions before and after the surgery.I’m grateful to him. He changed my life.
