Adel was very attentive and listened to my symptoms. I found him to be very friendly and caring, his explanation of the procedure I required was 1st class. He detailed what would happen during the surgery and post operation. He also stressed the dangers of surgery and gave a me a realistic outlook for the future, both during recovery and post recovery. He showed interest in me and what my expectations were. I would recommend Adel without hesitation.

Explanation

Was involved in an accident and made an appointment for my left arm. I was sent for an MRI which showed I had a fracture in my elbow but this was almost healed. The rest of the arm could have been dealt with Steroids but decided to wait. I then explained my right wrist & the numbness and pain. I was sent for a test which revealed this was severe Carpal Tunnel. I underwent an operation by Mr T which was clearly explained to me. This has been successful. Just to note that on 25 December I suffered a stroke which I am just recovering with. I’ve read that Carpal Tunnel can relate to stroke. Is this true?
