Great communication, really listened to me, very reassuring. Had diagnostics of L5/S1 and steroid injections, this helped for 4 months. Now had Radiofrequency Ablasion, fingers crossed it helps. He had great bedside manner.

I feel very lucky to have been referred to DR Al-Rikabi. After numerous doctors and hospital visits resulting with no cures only constant drugs prescribed I have already undergone nerve block injections which have helped and I am booked in for another treatment already!
Listens to you and is always happy to offer help on the spot or book a procedure. Can’t thank him enough

I had such severe pain and could not sit walk or lay down without have to move around. I was in pain every single day and to say my life has changed is an understatement. As long as I’m under his care I know I will be heard and will be treated with dignity, I appreciate all you have done and are doing.

I had my first consultation today and I found Dr Al Rikabi is an excellent consultant who listens and follows evidence based practice. He is very friendly and arranged the necessary investigations I require to move forward with my care. I highly recommend Dr Al Rikabi and can assure timely and effective management that helps to find objective evidence for diagnosis and appropriate treatment based on it.

I’m so grateful to Mr.Al-Rikabi for this excellent relief from chronic pain.I am so happy to be his patient as none others can identify what’s wrong with my pain or relieve from pain. I wondered what if I couldn’t find him.Mr.Al-Rikabi is so compassionate and understood my problem with empathy. I will recommend him 100 percent to everyone who lives with chronic pain.
