Assoc. Prof. Waleed Ismail

Associate Professor of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Ain Shams University · Consultant Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon

Assoc. Prof. Waleed Ismail is Associate Professor of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at Ain Shams University and a Consultant Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon. At his clinic in Heliopolis he follows children at every stage: children born with congenital heart defects whose treatment plan has not yet been settled, children waiting for a surgery date, and children who have had surgery and need follow-up.

Ekshef was built for one reason: many parents leave the echocardiography lab holding a report they cannot read, with a long journey between them and the clinic. The service lets you upload the reports, write your question, and receive a written opinion from the doctor himself, saved in your account for you to return to.

An online consultation does not take the place of an examination at the clinic, and no medication is prescribed through it. It is a step that helps you understand your child's condition and settle the next one with confidence, whether that is follow-up, a further test, or an appointment at the clinic.
