Why Dr. Refaai
Surgery that treats the cause, not just the condition.
Every part of the experience is built around one goal — an accurate diagnosis, the least-invasive effective treatment, and a recovery that addresses the factors behind the problem so it is less likely to return.
Royal College Surgeon · 20+ Years
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MRCS), with more than two decades of colorectal, proctology and general-surgery experience behind every decision.
Laser & Minimally-Invasive Surgery
Laser-assisted and minimally-invasive techniques for fissures, hemorrhoids and fistula when suitable — less tissue injury, less pain, and a faster return to normal life.
Discreet, Judgement-Free Care
Sensitive anorectal conditions handled with complete privacy, empathy and zero judgement — at every single visit.
Sphincter & Continence Preservation
The fistula tract and its relationship to the sphincter muscles are carefully mapped before any procedure — protecting continence and control.
Root-Cause & Functional Medicine
We treat the condition and its causes — bowel function, constipation, diet, hydration and lifestyle — with a functional-medicine-informed plan.
Precise Diagnosis First
Careful examination and modern in-clinic assessment for an accurate diagnosis before any treatment is recommended — no one-size-fits-all.
Personalised Recovery Pathway
A clear pre-op, surgery and recovery plan with follow-ups and functional support — smoother healing and a lower chance of recurrence.
Telehealth Follow-ups
Secure video consultations for advice, results review and follow-up, so routine care never means an unnecessary trip.
How we're different
One practice, four advantages together.
Most clinics do one of these. Dr. Refaai combines all four — which is why results last.
Royal College surgery
MRCS England and 20+ years of focused colorectal & proctology experience behind every decision.
Laser & minimally-invasive
Laser-assisted, day-case techniques when suitable — less tissue injury, less pain, faster recovery.
Continence preserved
The sphincter muscles are carefully mapped and protected before any fistula procedure.
Root-cause & functional medicine
We treat the condition and the bowel, diet and lifestyle factors behind it — so it's less likely to return.
Modern practice
Technology in service of comfort & precision.
The right tool for each case — chosen after diagnosis, never applied to everyone. The aim is always the least-invasive effective treatment.
Laser-assisted surgery
Targeted laser energy treats the tissue precisely.
Less cutting, less post-op pain, faster recovery.
Minimally-invasive techniques
Small-access, often day-case procedures.
Smaller wounds and a quicker return to normal life.
Modern in-clinic diagnostics
Careful examination and up-to-date assessment.
An accurate diagnosis before any treatment is chosen.
Functional-medicine assessment
Bowel, diet, hydration and lifestyle evaluation.
Treats the causes and reduces the chance of recurrence.
Selected per diagnosis, anatomy and severity — with continence and comfort protected throughout.
