Very professional and friendly gentleman who skilfully performed spinal decompression surgery which eradicated my back pain. Mr Ahmad was pleasant to talk to and I felt respect at every appointment. He explained my surgery clearly and I was able to ask questions. The Spinal Nurses and Physiotherapists who work with him were also really helpful

I felt very safe in the hands of this consultant. He explained everything and was very friendly and attentive. I would certainly recommend him, as the surgery, so far, having been done in February, was very successful.

I was taken into hospital in September 2022 and had a MRI of my spine and neck as back was aching. I was found to have a cervical C5 and C6 compression and MR Ahmad informed me I needed to have an operation to correct this. He told me to think about this as it can be an operation with complications and informed me he would see me in his clinic. I was seen he explained everything to me, tested my reflexes etc and I consented to the operation. I had the operation on the 28/02/2023 I cannot praise mr Ahmad and his team enough. My pre op I had everything explained to me by Tony who put me at ease. On the day of operation the anaesthetist came and spoke to me and was brilliant. I got into theatre and as Mr Ahmad looked so different in his scrubs I was looking for him and was a bit panicky. I felt this hand on my arm and Mr Ahmad says” do not worry, everything will be alright”. I immediately relaxed. I had my 7 week appointment yesterday after op with Mr Ahmad and x rays showed all went well and he was very pleased. This is the best I have felt in along while. I want to thank Mr Ahmad and his team for being caring, doing what he said he would do, great time scale, and reassuring me. Thanks team you were brilliant
