Patient reviews:

April 2021 - "Would highly recommend, surgeons and all staff make you feel welcome and very well looked after. I had a total Thyroidectomy through my insurance cover and now got normality back in my life"

Mar 2021 - "I was fortunate enough to have my hyper parathyroid operation at Nuffield in Norton. From first contact with the pr-assessment team to the operation itself and after, I felt I was in a safe and well organised hospital. Mr Elsaify put me at ease with his confident and easy going manner, as did Anaesthetist Dr Baker and all staff that I can in contact with. The nurses were genuinely caring and nothing was too much trouble. Due to the skill of Mr Elsaify I can honestly say that I felt no pain whatsoever after or since my operation, just a slight irritation in my throat. I am already feeling the benefits to my health. I would like to thank everyone involved in my brief stay and I hope others are as lucky as myself and manage to get treated at Nuffield Health Tees Hospital."
