“Dr Shidrawi is a fantastic gastro _ consultant. The only Dr who listened to my mum's symptoms and diagnosed her correctly after a telephone consultation. Mum had already been to four gastro consultants who couldn't help mum with her four years of nausea. They offered her no hope for the future and sent her to a psychatrist. Dr Shidrawi diagnosed a blocked bile duct and gastro_ paresis. I first came across Dr Shidrawi when I watched a TV programme about a lady who had suffered nausea for 10 years. "Diagnosis Detectives. " I recommend Dr Shidrawi to anyone who has a mysterious illness and has been left undiagnosed. He is a very kind and caring Dr and listens to his patients. He is a very friendly Dr and reassures you that he will always get to the root of the problem. We need more Drs like Dr Shidrawi in the North of England.“
