Mr Ahmed-Ramadan Sadek 2020-01-21 Person 5 5 0

I had Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion back surgery performed by another surgeon in May 2019 who, very shortly after, left the NHS. I was referred to Mr Sadek in September 2019, when he moved to Queens Hospital, and he kindly agreed to take on my case. We discussed the procedure and he arranged for an MRI as he was unable to comment on the success of the operation as he had not performed it. We met again in January this year and he was able to confirm that although the pain was still considerable the operation had been a success. He put both me and my husband at ease, explained things in layman’s terms and said my back was now stable and should only improve over time. I cannot thank Mr Sadek enough for his reassuring words, his kindly manner and his absolute professionalism. His positive attitude towards the operation and its outcome was both extremely encouraging and comforting. I came away from the appointment with a completely different attitude, feeling much more positive, reassured and that there was the prospect of returning to the full and active life I once had. This I absolutely and utterly attribute to Mr Sadek and incredible “bedside manner”.
