“During the time I have known Dr Marwan, he has been one of the trusted sports medicine consultants that I will send patients to for a further opinion on diagnosis and management, particularly when the cases are complex and may need further intervention.

He is always willing to listen and discuss a patient before he sees them, and is thorough with his examination. I know from patients that his explanations are clear, which is important. He provides the same high standards of care, no matter if you are an elite level athlete or someone who is unable to function day to day due to an injury”
