I have recently been under the care of Mr.Sherif Awad and as such, it gives me great pleasure to record (unreservedly) my great appreciation in respect of the care afforded to me during a difficult time undergoing major surgery and a difficult post operative recovery period. during my hospitalisation, I received wonderful care from this Doctor in each stage of my illness to which I remain forever grateful. Mr. Awad is indeed a dedicated clinician, coupled with a wonderful approach to patient care. During my hospitalisation,he ensured I received total continuity of care by himself and his entire team. To place into words my admiration for this clinician does not perhaps do justice to the gratitude I owe him for me being here today! In the last 24 hours I attended his out-patient clinic and was seen by Mr. Awad personally. Needless to say, he was charming and informative, explaining in detail, my recent illness and recommendations in terms of future management of my condition. In conclusion, I am so fortunate to have received such a high degree of care from this person that I will be forever grateful. Words are often inadequate when recording gratitude and my best appreciation is that without his professional skills, dedication and approach combined with a thoroughly wonderful personality my stay in hospital would have been that much more difficult.
