Real outcomes from patients who have trusted Dr. Fawzy with their orthopedic care
"I was extremely fortunate when my doctor referred me to Dr Fawzy in 2016... an orthopaedic surgeon for my Left shoulder rotator cuff injury."
Despite several non invasive attempts it was not healing and required surgery... so there I was introduced to this very eloquent British trained sports medicine specialist who would address my shoulder issues, which I had suffered with for nearly a year.
He performed an arthroscopic surgery repairing the damage and after initial recovery of several weeks I was sent to physio and finally I was able to use my arm again as normal.
Again in 2018 I had to have surgery on my right foot-ankle which had ligament issues for some time become weak and unstable. Using his minimal surgery technique using arthroscopic he managed to correct this and within a few months my foot felt strong and functional again.
During the COVID pandemic I was unfortunate to have a fall down some stairs and this required 2 more surgeries the first on my right hip labrum tear which he skillfully repaired, and once the hip was strong enough to tolerate my weight bearing he went to work on my left foot/ankle which had required talofibular repairs.
"I have been very blessed to have had these 4 surgeries with this extremely experienced surgeon that also has his patients care and recovery uppermost in his dealings... As in it's not just a business for him... it's his passion to see you recovering well."
Although I am no longer in Kuwait, he is the first person I would contact for any future orthopedic needs.

Dr. Fawzy's approach combines four decades of experience with a simple philosophy: use his knowledge from handling the most complex cases to ensure every routine joint replacement is performed to the highest standard from day one.
Knee Replacement

Learn About Minimally Invasive Techniques →Deformity Correction - Addressing Alignment to Slow Arthritis Progression
Knock knees or bow legs from childhood can lead to increasing knee discomfort as people age. This occurs due to decades of uneven weight distribution causing early arthritis. Correcting these alignment problems before severe arthritis develops can help slow this progression and may help avoid needing knee replacement later in life.
Knock Knees Correction
Knock knees can cause progressive knee problems. Adult knock knee correction addresses the uneven wear that leads to arthritis, providing lasting leg realignment and potentially helping prevent future knee replacement needs.
Learn About Knock Knees Correction →Bow Legs Correction
Bow legs may lead to knee problems that worsen over time. Bow leg correction surgery helps slow the progression of cartilage wear, addresses discomfort, and may help patients avoid future knee replacement by restoring normal leg alignment.
