Mr Almas Khan

Written by a patient at Nuffield Hospital Leeds

Mr Khan actively listened to my concerns, carried out a sympathetic examination then explained in simple terms what the causes of my pain could be. An x-ray and MRI enabled him to rule out possible causes, and recommend further ways to treat my pain. I found Mr Khan professional, an excellent listener and communicator, and was able explain his thoughts in a simple, practical and engaging way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and colleagues.

Mr Khan was an absolute professional from start to finish. He explained things very well and I felt he was working with me rather than managing me. One of the few Specialist I found to be very personable. Thank you Mr Khan you have really helped me.

Good level of care - Mr Khan did a great job of explaining the specific issues to me and pitched it at the right level for me to understand. He took time to make the impacts and decisions relevant to my personal situation. I didn't feel under pressure or rushed at any point. Hopefully I won't need to see Mr Khan again but if I do I would not hessitate

After an horrific 9 months of pain as a result of experiencing 2 prolapsed discs; putting off surgery due to work commitments and listening to horror stories I finally conceded and had the op. Dr Almas Khan was excellent in all areas; from advice to performing the procedure. He was honest regarding possible risks based on sound statistical data and helped me realise that an operation was by far my best option. Post-op it was deemed that without it my pain would 'not' have subsided as it sometimes does with sciatica. 2 months on, I am not back at the gym, off all medication and pain free. I cannot reccomend Dr Khan enough and my one regret is that I could have avoided the intense pain and suffering if I had had the op months before. Thank you! I now have my life back...

After months of discomfort and receiving very little in the way of support or help from the NHS, I contacted Mr Khan about lower back pain which had developed into severe leg numbness/pain. I was able to see Mr Khan within days and he immediately had several theories as to my potential problem after listening to my history. A prolapsed disc was swiftly diagnosed following x-ray and MRI scans, Mr Khan then walked me through the recommended surgery and potential risks that inevitably come will all surgery and the specific risks of this particular procedure. Surgery was possible within a couple of weeks and completed with no complications, I'm now 6 weeks post-op and couldn't have expected a better outcome. Mr Khan comes across as a very experienced professional with a warm personality and I can recommend him without hesitation. The whole team at Nuffield involved in my treatment were also fantastic from the radiography department, nurses, Mr Khan's secretary and a special mention to Mark Dearden, my anaesthetist who took plenty of time to explain how things work on the day. Hopefully I will not have any similar problems in the future, but will happily be in touch with Mr Khan if I do...
