Mr Tarek Abdel Aziz is truly fantastic. When I learned about my condition his credentials, reviews and reputation assured me he was the only person I wanted to perform the surgery. All interactions, from start to finish were excellent. Very clear communication, very calming and reassuring, uses data and facts to explain the risk/benefit analysis. I could not recommend highly enough. I’m unable to articulate just how grateful and thankful I am to him and for his care.

I'd highly recommend Dr Abdel-Aziz, who completely exceeded my expectations. I found him to be extremely professional, compassionate and highly experienced.
From the very beginning, Dr Abdel-Aziz was very clear and thorough in explaining everything to me in a calm and reassuring manner addressing all of the initial concerns I had regarding the surgery and recovery.
I experienced perioperative anaphylaxis during general anesthesia and the initial surgery had to be aborted. Whilst it was a very difficult time for me and members of my family, Dr Abdel-Aziz gave us all a lot of hope, he was comforting, supportive and caring throughout the whole process. I have him, Dr Kariem and all the team who assisted in taking care of me; whilst at Cleveland Clinic recovering from the severe allergy reaction, to thank for their quick reaction which proved life saving for me. Dr Abdel-Aziz was comforting and demonstrated a lot of empathy to my husband and family members who at the time were very worried.
Post allergy testing results and working towards setting a new surgery date, I found Dr Abdel-Aziz (and Dr Kariem) to be very flexible and accommodating; which I greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond their duties to ensure I received the best care possible the second time around. I truly felt cared for by Dr Abdel-Aziz, he is
without doubt one of the best Doctors I've come across. I am thankful for the successful surgery he carried out the second time around, I will forever be grateful to him for all his help.
A special thank you also to Dr Abdel-Aziz's Medical Secretary, Ivana who I found to be very professional and helpful.
