Reviews
I was referred to Mr Fakouri following a NHS scan am very grateful for everything that he has done to help me. He welcomed me, listened very attentively, and asked very searching questions about my symptoms. He diagnosed Cervical Stenosis with Myelopathy. He used the scan to explain in detail what the issues were and what the outcome might be without the intervention of surgery as well as what issues could arise during surgery. Throughout the conversation Mr Fakouri was easily able to build a trusting relationship and answered all questions. I was very confident in Mr Fakouri as he is a very experienced surgeon in both Neurosurgery and Orthopaedics. The day of the surgery he and his team work very closely together, took me through each of the stages from being shown how to easily put on operation stockings as well as talking with the Anaesthetist and assisting surgeon which was very reassuring. The operation was very lengthy as they needed to work on 3 pairs of vertebra. All the staff on the Orthopaedic ward were very carrying and diligent. The post op follow- up booklet for weeks 0 to 6 was invaluable full of information and contact details. My 6-week check-up was very thorough and positive and the small changes I was allowed to make were very clearly explained and demonstrated at no point was I rushed and there is a real feeling of care. As a 73-year-old woman I have been given a life changing opportunity to lead an independent life. All the more remarkable given the Covid situation and the constraints on hospital services that is an amazing and life changing opportunity for which I am very grateful. I am pain free for the first time in years and the numbness is beginning to respond to the exercises. Physio sessions have also been arranged. A totally wonderful experience.
Mr. Fakouri performed a laminectomy to remove a 14mm cyst on my spine. The operation was a complete success and I have full mobility and recently walked 8kms around Edinburgh. I also do Pilates, play golf and cycle plus much physical exercise whilst working in our large garden. I cannot thank Mr. Fakouri enough for the intricate work he carried out whilst performing the surgery. I should like to Mr. Fakouri, his team and all the staff at Guys for their treatment and care.
After having my proceedure cancelled due to the covid pandemic I was delighted when Mr Fakouri contacted me and arranged for me to have my operation. Having had cronic back pain for years it was a relief that Mr Fakouri said he could help me.At the end of May2021 he performed a L4 Hemilaminectomy and a Right L4/5 Nerve Root Decompression.
His team were brilliant and took care of me for the overnight stay.
I cannot thank the Staff on Sarah Ward for their help also.
I have seen Mr Fakouri in outpatients at Guys since and all is now going well,and I have been discharged!!
i received brilliant care under DR Fakouri. he was friendly and to the point.
i felt quite at ease under his care, and have no problem recommending him.
Mr Fakouri is a thoroughly professional orthopedic surgeon. His bedside manner is second to none - understanding the fact that I was a long term patient of Guy's Haemotological group and required additional infusions of platelets prior to/during and after my operation did not phase him.
