Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2023
My dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer early last year. The news was devastating to our family considering my dad’s age (73) and the fact that he has Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Kareem agreed to conduct this surgery with his team at the ALNAS Charity hospital in Cairo.Needless to say, Dr. Kareem’s credentials in conducting the complex Whipple Operation were impeccable. More importantly he was extremely professional and compassionate. He explained the operation in great detail. The surgery was conducted. The day of the surgery was tense, but Dr. Kareem and his team took amazing care of my dad and made sure he was comfortable and relaxed. The surgery was a huge success. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Kareem and his team. My dad is tumor free and his quality of life has significantly improved. Thank you Dr. Kareem for giving my dad a second shot at life and significantly improving his quality of life and greatly increasing his chances for a longer and healthier life!
