Mr Sayal is an excellent communicator and takes the time and trouble not only to explain the medical condition clearly but to set out options and likely outcomes to enable the patient to make an informed decision. He is both professional and caring.

After a warning from the neurosurgeon & oncologist who had been monitoring the regrowth of my meningioma in September 2023 that it required surgery & as it was a second operation it was at high risk of stroke, bleeding, bone infection, going through old scar tissue, the tumour was pressing against a large vein. My daughter suggested I sought a second opinion, we chose Mr Shoakazemi who also specialises in my type of brain tumour.  He confirmed…the risks were very high indeed, the brain tumour had grown too big for fractionated radiotherapy and surgery through the old wound of some 20 + years ago was the only option. We found Mr Shoakazemi to be extremely approachable, professional, calm, warm & informative.  I feel incredibly lucky to have had the faith on a date said to be the unluckiest day in the yearly calendar …Friday 13th October to undergo surgery with such a gifted neurosurgeon. I am (thankfully to Mr Shoakazemi) walking straight, talking straight & feeling fully blessed.

Without my Dr during my journey it would have been worrying and stressful SH has been amazing. The team she runs at the Royal Marsden you can see provides the support and comfort she put in to her health delivery. I am a very lucky person

Mr Vasan was fantastic start to finish. After our initial 20min call, I completely understood my condition and the options available. I was booked in for the operation quickly and at a hospital that was convenient for me and my cover. On the day of the surgery, Mr Vasan came for a full 30min to explain the procedure, recovery and answer any questions I had. He also came by after I woke up to check everything was ok and to answer any further questions. He also recommend a local physio who is superb too. The follow up 2 weeks later was very thorough and he was genuinely pleased with my recovery. From the initial call I could tell that Mr Vasan was an expert in his field, genuinely cared and wanted to help, and explained things super clearly. I knew that I would be in very safe hands, and wouldn’t want anyone else to perform the operation. I cant thank Mr Vasan enough for stopping my pain and making my life better and no longer restricted again
