Patient reviews Mr Mohamed Mabrouk

Mr Mabrouk, Mr Bhan, Mr Prout and the entire team at the Cleveland Clinic London and the Spire Lea Cambridge have been absolutely fantastic throughout my diagnosis, surgical treatment and post-operative care. My surgery was complex, involving the removal of a very large fibroid and some lesions of endometriosis. All was achieved successfully laparoscopically which is a testament to the excellent level of skill and dedication of the team. All my questions were answered carefully, knowlegeably and compassionately throughout my care journey to ensure I felt comfortable every step of the way. At a very vulnerable time, this reassurance and the trust that was built was invaluable. It is clear that the team's focus is the patient's quality of life and goals. Mr Mabrouk in particular was very attentive to my symptoms and wishes, and to ensuring the best outcome was achieved. The care I received during the recovery from my surgery by the team of caterers, cleaners, administrative and front of house staff, theatre assistants, porters, nurses and doctors at the Cleveland Clinic was second to none. I was extremely well cared for, which aided my recovery greatly, and it was evident that the team truly cared for their patients and their journey, celebrating each positive recovery step. I am extremely grateful for the excellent level of care, skill, time and support that I experienced.

Mr Mabrouk exemplifies the very best in quality healthcare for women. He is a kind, compassionate, highly skilled and distinguished expert in his field. He is caring and thorough (determining an additional, unrelated issue with my gallbladder which was subsequently also treated) and ensured that I was provided with all of the various options available to me, together with time to consider each fully. The outcome of my surgery and my recovery has been excellent, and I feel a depth of gratitude to him for giving me my life back.

After suffering for 10 years with periods that were so painful that on occasion I would pass out I was unable to get a diagnosis for any abnormality from any Doctor that I had seen. (As most of my preliminary tests would come back normal.) I often found myself explaining my symptoms to medical professionals and being made to feel that I was being dramatic, which lead to me wondering if this pain was simply all in my head. I am so pleased to have found Mr Mabrouk, he is a credit to the profession and has a really nice bedside manner. For the first time I was instantly believed that I was in the level of pain that I felt. He went ahead and did my laparoscopy and confirmed and removed the presence of endometriosis. The care was patient focused and I felt that I was treated with total dignity and priority was given to my wishes regarding what I wanted from the surgery and my next steps. I was back to my day to day life in less than two weeks, but feeling better than ever. (And Mr Mabrouk did a lovely job with the points of entry as the three scars are tiny and have healed beautifully) I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Mabrouk to anybody else seeking answers in the women's health field.

Dr. Mohammed Mabrouk is absolutely amazing! From the first consultation ,I felt confident in his expertise and care. He listened attentively to my concerns and understood how much my symptoms were affecting me. came up with a treatment plan that was clear and straightforward. My open myomectomy went incredibly well, and I'm healing better than I could have imagined. I feel lighter and relieved, thanks to Dr. Mabrouk's exceptional care.

Prof Mohamed Mabrouk is an extraordinary and phenomenal surgeon who recently completed a complicated fibroid procedure many surgeons have rejected my case due to how complicated it was. Went to one of the best hospitals in Abu Dhabi and they were all frightened to take on the job, it's not only fibroid but they are many others attached e.g. endometriosis and multiple cysts. Until I met Prof. Mohammed Mabrouk in Cleveland Clinic Grevenor London we went through the proper test and Prof. also invited other surgeons(Dr Rami Issa, Dr Chetan Bhan, Dr Arvind VASHISHT) they did an outstanding and out-of-this-world surgery on me and everything was done successfully without any damages even though it took them roughly 5-6hours but I really appreciate all their effort and expertise to get it done. After the surgery, I was taken to ICU and the nurses and HCA there were amazing and took care of me till I got transferred to the ward where all the nurses and HẠC were amazing as well. Prof. Mabrouk always calls to check on me and make sure everything is going well as it is supposed to be. This kind of behaviour is rare to see. I really can't thank you enough and the entire Cleveland Clinic Team. Again Thank you so much, Prof. Mabrouk.

Mr Mabrouk first saw me because of severe endometriosis pain at the Spire Lea in Cambridge. From the very start he listened and took his time to explain all my options. I decided to undergo surgery since the endometriosis was affecting my ureter and bowels as well. The surgery was done at the Cleveland Clinic in London. Mr Mabrouk operated together with a very skilled team. The entire team was amazing. Cleveland’s anaesthetist was warm, comforting, and very knowledgeable, and made me feel safe. Both the urologist (Mr Issa) and the bowel surgeon (Mr Bhan) were fabulous and explained everything very carefully. Mr Mabrouk called me regularly to keep me updated, and both his secretaries were wonderful and supportive throughout this stressful journey. And last but not least the nursing staff was super caring and made me feel safe.

Dr Mabrouk has been fantastic throughout my diagnosis and treatment of severe stage 4 endometriosis. I trust his judgement and thanks to his expertise I quickly got the treatment I needed to become disease free. Dr Mabrouk performed a major surgery to remove the endometriosis which went very well and I made a fast recovery. I would recommend anyone with endometriosis to seek his advice and treatment.

Review - Mr Mohamed Mabrouk at the Spire in Cambridge. My journey for getting diagnosed with Endometriosis has been a bit of a different one. I had heavy periods in my teenage years which looking back were painful but I could function with them. Fast forward to 2016 I began getting strange symptoms as I came off birth control at 20 years old. I started having symptoms that were very similar to a UTI but all bacterial tests and a cytoscopy came back as negative so I was told to get on with it. Over the years my periods became more painful but I could still cope. Then in May of 2020 I began having awful symptoms. My symptoms were really heavy periods, bladder pain, back pain, severe mood swings (the lows left me suicidal), pain every time I had a bowel movement (I couldn't even pass gas without severe stabbing pains that would render me unable to move. My period pain was so intense I did actually believe I was dying the first time so I went to A and E who did agree I was bleeding was too much. They couldn't find my ovaries on the ultrasound and that should have been a warning sign for endo but nobody put it together. I carried on living in fear of my period coming each month. I was using up so many sick days each month as my pain would leave me fainting at work. I honeslty could not do anything but lie in a ball on the floor and crawl to the toilet where I would throw up from the pain. Life was misery. I went to my GP 100s of times about the pain and begging for a smear but they just kept saying I was too young and my periods would settle. That is when I began doing my own research and found the Nook. I went to the GP and presented to them that I might have Endo and would like to be referred to a specialist. My GP refused and promised I'd get the same care locally (and the same hospital what couldn't find my ovaries and sent me home). I carried on researching endo while I waited for my referral to come through and by the time it did I was well clued up about excision and realised the only way to get real help and fast for me was to pay private and see Mr Mabrouk. I enquired with Mr Mabrouks lovely receptionist Rosie (she is brilliant) and she explained I could use my health insurance too for each stage. My health insurance agreed to cover initial consults and diagnostics. I went to Mr Mabrouk for my initial consultation and he was really kind and listened to everything I had to say about pains and did an examination of me where he could see I was in pain being touched. He talked me though all of my diagnostic options and I went with an MRI knowing that was least invasive method and could show if there was extra bits to worry about like Endomitriomas. My MRI results are as below: "The uterus is anteverted and normal in size measuring 60 x 31 x 46 mm. The endometrium is linear and thin measuring 2 mm. The myometrium is unremarkable with no features of adenomyosis or focal fibroid. Both ovaries are displaced posteromedially towards the uterus. Bilateral endometriomas are seen measuring14 mm on the left and 30 mm and 19 mm on the right. Allowing for the degree of movement artefact, there appears to be an endometriotic plaque along the posterior aspect of the cervix down to and including the posterior vaginal fornix; the plaque extends to both ovaries. Bilateral thickening of the uterosacral ligaments. The colon is faecally loaded. Allowing for the degree of movement artefact, no bowel muscle invasive endometriotic deposit identified. Normal appearance of the UV fold. No bladder muscle invasive deposit. Normal distal ureters. Trace of free fluid within the pelvis. No enlarged pelvic or inguinal lymph nodes. No suspicious focal bone lesion. CONCLUSION: Deep endometriosis, as described." This finally explained all the pain and why my ovaries could not be found. Upon having the MRI results I decided to go with Mr Mabrouk and just pay out of pocket as my insurance wouldn't cover it. I had my preoperative consultation with Mr Mabrouk where he listened to all my concerns and explained the surgery plan, he sent me it in a letter too. The day of my surgery I arrived at the Spire and was well cared for bv all of the staff. When it was time for surgery I had a bit of a panic attack as I am terrified of surgery so I was crying. Mr mabrouk got on my level and assured me that he would take good care of me as did the rest of his team. I woke up from surgery and had a bit of a panic attack again mr mabrouk came to see me and explained he'd come to talk to me tomorrow about my surgery in depth and what he found but he mentioned that he did find endo and that there was some on my diaphragm. I was relatively pain free post surgery as I'd had a lot of pain killers and local anesthetic which I was grateful for. Post surgery I made sure to drink as much Peppermint tea as I could to help the gas pains. I found that if I slept upright it helped the pain. Also if you sleep with the remote for the beds in your hand you can press the buttons to readjust rather than struggle to move yourself so I'd highly recommend it. I was very sick post surgery with vomiting and the nurses at the Spire looked after me so well and eventually found something that worked to stop my nausea. I was so grateful for how kind they were. In the morning I was a lot more with it ans my catheter was starting to annoy me so I made it my mission to drink lots of tea and did pelvic floor exercises to sake my bladder up. It worked a treat and I was able to have it removed and that made me much more comfy. The physio nurse then came to see me and came me some exercises to do and told me to walk if I could every hour or so. I was up and waling as much as I could and it really helped the gas pains. Mr mabrouk then came to see me with another member of the surgical team. He had pictures of my surgery and explained that he had found a lot of endometriosis across organs including bladder and bowel, kissing ovaries that were adhered to my bowels, multiple endometriomas etc. Below is the medical report: Operation: Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis: bilateral ovarian cystectomy; excision of left uteroscaral ligament and pararectal plaque, right uterosacral ligament and retrocervical plaque, bladder peritoneal endometriosis, right pelvic sidewall endometriosis, bilateral ureterolysis, bilateral ovarian suspension, DTC diaphragmatic endometriosis. He showed me the photos and I was in disbelief at how obvious it all seemed and I couldn't believe that medical professionals didn't spot it before. I thank Mr mabrouk for believing and helping me. I was discharged soon after and everything was pretty good in terms of healing. I struggled the most with bladder sensation and rib pain from the ablation and the pulling pain from ovary suspension. My surgery was in early March and now it is May and I've healed well my periods post surgery were the easiest I've had and I don't dread then at all anymore. Mr Maboruk has given me back my life, before surgery my pain was so severe that I could not cope. I am so grateful for his compassion and expertise as I am now living a pretty normal life again.

Mr Mabrouk operated on me in Sept 2020. He was a very patient and understanding surgeon who understood my apprehension due to the complications of my surgery. He advised thoroughly but never insisted I had surgery. After the operation I felt completely looked after and he was always so confident and reassuring. I felt like he was a friend rather than a surgeon as he was so personable to both me and my husband. I have recommended Mr Mabrouk to a couple of friends who were also very impressed. I would completely recommend Mr Mabrouk to anyone as he is kind, understanding and above all one of the best surgeons in his field. Thank you ~ 8 months after a total hysterectomy (with adherence) I feel like a new woman with no problems whatsoever!

I attended the A&E three times with lower abdominal pains. I was hospitalised and discharged with no diagnoses. In the following couple of weeks, my pains worsened and my first routine appointment with the Gynaecology department was booked for 3 months later. The department cancelled and rebooked my appointment a few times. I contacted the department as this was not a pain I could survive for 3 months and I asked for my MRI to be reconsidered. Once they reviewed my MRI, I was asked to come in urgently by one of the senior doctors. When I attended I had an ultrasound scan and I was told that I had lost an ovary… “likely to have e suffered a torsion whilst I was initially in pain” and either could wait for things to get better (?! if they would ever just get better) or have an urgent operation. The doctor who saw me was due to be on annual leave and had squeezed me in after reviewing my MRI. It felt as if he just wanted to go on his holiday. I was in a cold hospital room, half naked, unaware of what may be happening and the doctor carrying out my scan just casually said that I had lost an ovary! This was a very sad and shocking experience. I do not have children and it is something I look forward to in life and finding out that I had lost an ovary in the time I was in and out of the hospital was extremely frustrating. I have always had heavy periods but no doctor has ever investigated it further. I had had a scan which showed mini cysts a year before and my GP had said that this was all normal. The doctor at the hospital introduced me to the emergency evening team who were happy to operate me rather "go in and remove the lost ovary". I asked to have an emergency operation but not with the evening team. I wanted to be booked in for the day surgery. I was extremely lucky because my operation was booked in with Dr Mohamed Mabrouk for the next morning. I had not met Dr Mabrouk but I had previously heard from endometriosis patients talking about him in the ward whilst I was initially hospitalised for a week. They were talking about how he is an amazing doctor and truly a specialist. In the morning of the operation, Dr Mabrouk came and introduced himself to me. I told him all of my concerns. I told him I did not want to lose an ovary. He was very different to all the other doctors I had previously met in the A&E and the wards (which was probably about 8-10 doctors ranging from general surgeons to Gynae's). He listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. He assured me that he is Gynaecologist and that his job is to recover and save as much of the productive system as possible. He told me all the details of what he will do and any scenarios he may face. He said if the ovary is there and there is any chance to save it he would save every possible part. He explained the worst case scenario, the best case scenario and all the possible outcomes from one end of the scale to the other. He really assured me that I can trust him and that he would do his best to preserve my ovaries. When I came out of the operation, he came to see me in the ward about an hour after I woke up. This also assured me that he really cared for his patients. He had saved my ovary, in fact there was a large cyst on my left ovary and a burst cyst in the douglas pouch. He explained everything in detail to me. I was diagnosed with endometriosis. He had carried out an extensive operation and his assistance did not end there. I suffered a heavy bleed a week after the operation and was taken to A&E; I was told that this was my period probably induced by the operation as the body can sometimes go in to shock. I was able to speak to Mr Mabrouk on the telephone and in person. He continued to support me and answer my questions. He had wondered if my endometriosis had caused any damage to my bowels and I had a colposcopy. He is so great that he called to give me my colposcopy results during lockdown and checked on my progress. He is definitely to be trusted. In the 7 months I have been under the care of Addenbrokes hospital Gynae department, Dr Mabrouk is definitely the doctor I trust. I would recommend him any Gynae patients. For me, he made a miracle happen. He has great knowledge, he listens and he cares. He is a fabulous doctor.

Mr Mohamed Mabrouk was very confident in his approach and gained my confidence from when I met him, which is a credit to him and his personality you can’t learn this. His communication skills were good, he spoke in a language that I could understand and also my wife who is a nurse understood, he broke things down to explain what was happening and even showed me what was happen by drawing a picture and what they needed to do, so I fully understood. When I went down for my operation he was there smiling and happy, and fully of confidence reassuring me. He listened to my concerns and I explained if needed to do anything different he had my consent and he ensured the the other consultant was also away of this. Following the operation he visited me daily and continued to explained the healing process and was reassuring which helped with my confidence to get out of bed and get better quicker. Also I was a smoker but following the first consultation. Mr Mabrouk advised me to give up explaining the reason it would be a good idea and how it would effect my blood cell, it made me think and I stopped smoking and continue to remain a non smoker. I want to thank Mr Mabrouk for everything and making me feel safe and looked after. Kind regards Julie Mansfield

I recently moved to addenbrookes after I wasn’t taken seriously regarding a recent diagnosis of endometriosis. It was the best decision I’ve made. I had a brilliant experience with Mr Mabrouk, he listened to what I was telling him and has been very thorough in diagnosing the problem. Throughout the process he explained everything and how he wanted to proceed, whilst ensuring I was comfortable. I also receive any updates by post, which is great as I never had any correspondence previously. I now feel I’m in the right place and receiving the appropriate care, which is a great relief. I’d definitely recommend.

I can't express how grateful I am to be a patient under Mr Mabrouk. He is a very kind, understanding, honest and reassuring specialist that genuinely cares. I recently had endometriosis surgery performed by himself and I really appreciated being informed of all the risks and potiental surgery procedures beforehand. It turned out I had a lot more endometriosis than expected but during surgery he was able to remove nearly all of it. Although recovering at the time of writing this, I can now look forward to a future with less endometriosis. I am forever grateful for his expertise and help.

I was surrounded by dedicated and caring doctors not least of whom were Mr Mabrouk and Mr Baldwin - and their wider medical team who went above and beyond to give me the best medical care possible. In the build-up to my operation, during and afterwards, the care and attention given to me was without exception, excellent. I couldn't recommend a better medical team. Mr Mabrouk and Mr Baldwin were both approachable, highly skilled and clearly talented and well informed in their fields - I would confidently put my life in their hands again if the need arose.

Mr Mabrouk was a great consultant. He went through my history in detail, asking me questions previous consultants hadn't. He explained that his care would be personal to me and my lifestyle, choices and my future plans. He explained every step carefully to me and gave me instant results (through examination and ultrasounds) explaining what they meant. He was calm, caring and at no point did I feel rushed or pressured. I left feeling fully informed as to my next steps and all my choices. I would highly recommend Mr Mohamed Mabrouk.

Very clear explanation in advance of the treatment. Careful and considerate. Managed the procedure quickly and efficiently. Successful treatment process. Only improvement would be to communicate with the patient a bit more when using the speculum/at the earlier stages of the procedure so that the patient isn't surprised by the procedure.
