Patient Reviews of Dr. Sherif El‑Nikety

Reviews & Ratings
He was very clear about my injury, its course, the possibilities, and how to manage it.
His explanation was very clear, his attention to detail remarkable, and communication with him was easy.
He not only assisted with the diagnosis but also helped with scheduling appointments.
If I ever need trauma-related medical care, I would want to be treated by Mr. El-Nikety again.
I consulted Mr. El-Nikety after a dislocation in my right shoulder due to a work accident. My shoulder was also frozen and unstable. After a consultation, we agreed to perform shoulder stabilization surgery, which was explained to me in detail along with its risks. The procedure was scheduled immediately, and I received excellent care throughout.
During the surgery, it turned out that my shoulder required a capsular release, which was successfully carried out. I had been informed of this possibility, so it was not a surprise.
Following the operation, I had a follow-up a few weeks later, and after physiotherapy, I regained 99% of my range of motion and was able to resume my normal work duties, which made a significant difference.
I strongly recommend Mr. El-Nikety for this type of surgery. Thank you very much for helping me restore my good health and return to performing my professional duties at full capacity. I am truly impressed by the skill required for such operations, and the speed of recovery is a testament to your expertise and precision.
Mr. El-Nikety is a kind, friendly, and highly knowledgeable consultant who provided me with excellent care from the very first consultation through to post-surgery follow-up.

I would highly recommend Mr. El-Nikety as a consultant.

I saw Dr El-Nikety after a year of wrist pains.

Once he made a “game plan” I followed his lead and after all options were exhausted, he signed me up for surgery.

I saw Mr El-Nikety following a dislocation of my right shoulder after an incident at work. My shoulder was also frozen and unstable. Following a consultation we agreed on a shoulder stabilization procedure which was fully explained and the risks outlined. The procedure was booked in promptly and and I was well looked after throughout.
During the surgery it was discovered the shoulder needed a capsular release which was done. I was warned this may be the case and so it didn’t come as a surprise.
Following the surgery I had a follow up after a few weeks and after having physio I have now regained 99% of my range of movement back and have resumed normal duties at work which is fairly high impact.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr El-Nikety for this type of surgery. Thank you so much for getting me back to good health and back to full duties at work. I really admire the amount of skill it takes to perform these types of procedures and it is tantamount to your experience and skill that things got better so quickly afterwards too.

case 31
I had a condition commonly known as Tennis Elbow which was pretty painful. I saw the consultant and he recognized this condition almost immediately. He gave me options and I chose to go with surgery. Less than 8 weeks later I was having the operation. The after care was explained fully and I was told exactly how long I would need to recuperate. Physiotherapy was organized and started within 2 weeks. After 3 months I could use my arm for almost everything apart from lifting very heavy objects. A follow up apt came through to see Mr El-Nikety and I was happy to be signed off. I am very pleased with the service provided and would absolutely recommend this consultant and also the Bath Clinic. I went in as an NHS patient and was not treated any different to the private patients. A very good experience all round.
case 32
Had the pleasure of being under Mr El-Nikety for my complex shoulder operation. This took place at the BMI Bath last October. All went smoothly and without any problems, I am now pain free and have strength back in my shoulder. Great surgeon would always recommend him. Thank you, and all the other staff in the BMI too.
case 33
I was referred to Mr El-Nikety with an elbow problem. He was very thorough in his examination and explained the situation in a very detailed yet understandable way. I always felt at ease with him and trust his diagnosis and the options of treatment put forward.
A very pleasant, understanding and yet professional person. It was a pleasure to be under his treatment and I am very happy to recommend him.
case 34
I was referred to Mr El-Nikety at Bath Clinic in September 2017 with shoulder pain and stiffness and after examination and a follow-up MRI scan, the suspected diagnosis of subacromial impingement with mild AC joint arthritis was confirmed. Mr El-Nikety explained the various options for treatment – physiotherapy, steroid injection or surgical intervention. I decided to try the steroid injection route, which did relieve the pain almost completely, for a period of 3 weeks. After this, on Mr El-Nikety’s advice, I decided to pursue the physiotherapy route, with his assurance that an arthroscopic procedure was still an option if there was no marked improvement after a few months. My shoulder did get better to the point that I was eventually able to attend the gym and return to regular swimming sessions and other hobbies I had been forced to put on hold. During the final assessment with Mr El-Nikety , I was offered a further appointment 4 months later in case the issue flared-up again, as has happened in the past, which I found very reassuring at the time. Thankfully, I have had no further problems in this respect and was therefore discharged from the clinic.
From the initial consultation, right through to my last appointment, Mr El-Nikety took the time to listen, appreciate my concerns and always offered clear explanations and helpful advice. He has a very kind, genuine and understanding manner and I felt thoroughly reassured under his care. Thank you Mr El-Nikety and also to Rachael!
case 35
Very thorough in explaining options to me and ensuring I undertook surgery that would be able me to continue with sports. Significant improvement following a shoulder surgery. Excellent post operative and follow up care.
Thoroughly recommended.
case 36
I was very fortunate to be referred to Mr. El-Nikety having been suffering with chronic tennis elbow for many months. After an MRI scan the full extent of the damage was established and he performed a tennis elbow release and carried out tendon repair surgery. 2 1/2 months on and I now have virtually full use of my elbow, although it was explained to me it could be up to 12 months before the tendon/ligaments are back up to full working order, but thanks to Mr. El-Nikety’s skills (and a course of physio) I think progress is ahead of schedule.
I would also like to pay tribute to all the staff at Bath Clinic who I found to be extremely friendly, kind and professional.
case 37
I recently had my left triceps tendons sutured and some troublesome bone removed from the same elbow that had been troubling me for some time.
Mr El-Nikety was very open to talking about the problems this caused and talked about what i should expect post operation so i was fully prepared, while being fully open to questions and gave clear and answers to all my queries in layman’s terms.
Now months post op i am slowly returning to full use of the treated area.
I could not recommend Mr El-Nikety high enough.
case 38
Everything was explained clearly and I knew exactly what to expect.
The after care was excellent
Thank you
case 39
Mr El-Nikety operated on my left hand Carpal Tunnel.
The process was excellent from start to finish. His team worked cheerfully, carefully and efficiently.
Mr El-Nikety clearly explained the procedure and when it was finished he came and ensured that I was in good shape after the operation.
The cut has healed very quickly and with no visible scar.
In my view the operation was a complete success.
I would like to thank Mr Sherif Elnikety for the wonderful care and treatment I received during my shoulder Arthroscopy and decompression. I was diagnosed with calcium deposits and had surgery within a month. This has completely cured my condition and I am now pain free.
Thank you very much.

case 41
Mr Sherif Elnikety recently did a total shoulder cuff repair for me. I was worried as he said that he may have to cut the long tendon on my biceps. However, after lots of questions, he reassured me that this would be OK. After the operation, I stuck to his recommended Physio regime and it worked. Four months later, I have full use of my shoulder with no initial pain. He explained clearly what was to be undertaken and even though I still have a way to go, he and I were both amazed at my recovery. And, No pain!
I would recommend him to anyone. He has enabled me to go into the third age dancing and singing again!
Thank you Sherif Elnikety.
