Mr Aftab has the special and rare ability to treat you like a human, not just a patient, and that means the world to me. I feel immensely lucky to have found Mr Aftab. You can google any doctor, and if you search Mr Aftab’s accolades, it is obvious that he is one of the best orthopaedic surgeons not just in the UK, but in the world. I don’t have to specify that he is a master of his craft, it is all available online. But what those qualifications and articles don’t tell you is how compassionate he is, how much he cares for each and every case he reviews and treats, and how deeply it matters to him that the patient walks out with the best possible care they could’ve received. I have been under the care of Mr Aftab for over a year now, he has treated me with 3 nerve root injections. I am now just recovering and soon will have surgery (Microdiscectomy) performed by him. This is a decision we have made together, and not something I have been forced with or been made to decide by myself. Before any and every procedure, however big or small, Mr Aftab educates me on the benefits and risks and never pushes for an outcome. He truly believes that it is the patient that can make the best choices for themselves and gives me all of information and help I need so I can get the best outcome, whether it is pain management or surgery or just a consultation. Recently, while sorting out my insurance, I was briefly matched with another surgeon, who refused to accept my sudden rise pain concerns, and flat out refused to sign off on an MRI that I thought I needed, I was made to feel like I was at fault for being in so much pain even seeking that surgeon’s opinion. Thankfully, shortly afterwards my insurance was sorted and I immediately contacted Mr Aftab again. Even though he sees dozens of patients each week, he distinctly remembered the exact timeline and details of my case, and just based off my email, promptly signed off on an MRI without me even having to plead for one. It turned out that my condition had Infact progressed and the MRI made it clear that surgery was now an option I needed to consider seriously. Had I not received this care and that too so fast, I would’ve had to endure much more pain. He also offered me an epidural injection the very next day to try and alleviate the pain until my case is reviewed and approved for surgery, which I am confident will go well. I am an otherwise healthy athlete who has suffered an unfortunate accident that has led to a chronic condition. It is not just that I am in debilitating pain, but it is my mental health that has suffered so much, and also affects my partner too who is caring for me. So more than anything, it matters to me that Mr Aftab cares so much, answers all of my questions, and makes me aware of all possible treatment options. He truly treated me with respect and love, and showed me so much compassion. I am truly grateful for the treatment I have received. On a personal note, Mr Aftab is always positive, he is full of energy and really loves what he does - it fills me with confidence that I am in the best of hands under his care. I feel safe and comforted, there’s literally nothing more I can ask from a surgeon.

Doctor Sedra was super kind and listened carefully during our appointments. After all the investigations, he did a steroid injection. After having several ones in different parts of my spine with other very reputable doctors from private hospitals with poor results, I was skeptic it would work. I was surprised that suddenly after 10 days the pain disappeared. I am very satisfied with the level of care of doctor Sedra and his team.

Mr Chatterjee is welcoming. He takes the time to listen to the problem and has a sympathetic and professional manner. His approach is very sensible.

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.

Mr Bull inspires confidence. He explained the issues and options clearly and like a human being! I felt listened to and able to ask questions. I haven’t yet had the procedure he advised but I believe it is the right course of action at this stage.

I was very nervous about having an operation on my spine but Mr. Prezerakos's thorough explanation of my medical situation and how the operation would be conducted gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. He didn't deny that there could be complications but his clear explanation helped me to realise that these were manageable risks and that the benefits outweighed the relatively minor chances of something not going to plan. The outcome has been incredible, whereas before the operation I could only walk a short distance without needing to rest because of the pain around my hips and thighs, I now have no pain whatsoever when walking and only minor discomfort around the incision wound, its just over 4 weeks since I had the operation and I'm confident that even that small discomfort will soon be a distant memory.

Please kindly convey my gratitude to Mr. Barazi for dedicating significantly more time than any doctor- I ever visited in the U.K. -to discuss my symptoms. He listened with empathy and even engaged me in the review of the MRI images. He truly understands the pain and fears of his patients. World-class doctor.

He explained what might be going on to me so I could understand and arranged an MRI which I had the following day due to a cancellation.

Our daughter has special needs & Mr Buddhdev has always worked to adapt to make her feel as settled as possible, but making sure we knew the full picture of what needed addressing for her best outcome. We can’t thank him enough.

Very professional, friendly and approachable. I was very impressed by Mr Asef Al-Ani's professionalism and positive demeanour.
