Mr Ali Nader-Sepahi

Written by a private patient at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

The treatment and care that I received for my recent Spinal surgery was excellent. One point I would like to make is, that during my first pre-op meeting with the team I was not told that I should not take any Ibuprofen. As I was in a lot of pain I had taken this as pain relief up until the day before my planned surgery. On the day of my planned surgery when I was asked what medication I had taken, I told the team that I had taken Ibuprofen the night before. Shortly afterwards Mr Sepahi came into my room and explained that I should not have been taking this medication and the reasons behind it. And because of this my surgery had to be postponed. Which in turn meant another 4 weeks of waiting and more pain. When I returned for my rescheduled procedure I was treated by Mr Sepahi and the team very professionally and the care that I received was exemplary.

Mr Nader-Sepahi listened to every thing I had to say and immediately put my mind at rest he could help me . He operated on me within a few weeks and kept in touch after I was released from hospital. He was always a phone call away. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He was patience itself explaining a complex operation. We had every opportunity to question and confirm what the operation involved. During the stay in hospital, he kept me informed at every stage. The post-op follow -up summarised what had been done and any further treatment. His 'bedside manner' was warm and friendly.

This Consultant is the best I have ever seen having seen many over the last 30 years with regard to problems with my lumbar spine. He listened to me and gave me the most thorough examination I have had. I had a range of scans and x-rays in order to help to make an accurate diagnosis. The options on offer were clearly explained with no pressure given as to which option to choose. I was given enough information to make an informed decision. I felt totally at ease and made my decision feeling confident in the procedure being carried out to the best of his abilities, giving me the best chance of a successful outcome. I had my lumbar spine decompression surgery three weeks ago and have no regrets. I was visited, post surgery and on the following day to make sure I was ok. This man is very caring about his patients. There was immediate relief from some of my symptoms and pain, which I am grateful for. I had my surgery three weeks ago and am still improving. If I were to need any further surgery for anything else, I would have no hesitation in choosing Mr Nader-Sepahi again.
