Mr Ahmed-Ramadan Sadek

Written by a patient at Queen's Hospital

Hello my name is Toni. Mr Sadek was my surgeon. I had surgery on the 17/7/2020 it was from C5/6C6/7 , I cannot thank him enough, it has been a stressful time for us all in recent months but Mr Sadek was totally reassuring. Mr Sadek explained everything about the operation and listened to all my questions and concerns. On the morning Mr Sadek came to see me, reassuring me, by saying next I saw him it will all be finished. Mr Sadek did come to the ward to see me after the operation and explained the procedure that was undertaken to me . If you are reading this you are probably awaiting surgery. Please be reassured you could not ask for any more. Mr Sadek is friendly, reassuring and clearly very competent at his job. I cannot thank him enough for the surgery he has performed on me. Clearly I know it is early days but I feel everything is moving in the right direction. Many thanks again Mr Sadek. Toni

I first saw Dr.Sadek in December 2019. I had been referred by my GP. Mr. Sadek informed me that I had a lesion on the spine which he had not seen before. He initiated a further blood test and when he phoned me he told me this was clear. He then arranged further MRI, CAT Scans and a PET Scan at St.Thomas, Mammogram and blood tests. He has phoned me to tell me that all my tests have come back clear but he had to check out all possible reasons for the lesion, He has treated me with dignity and empathy throughout this investigation. I cannot thank him enough for the investigations he has undertaken.

Dr. Sadek works miracles. Prior to having issues with my back, I was a physically active 48-year-old (I ran 5k five times per week, cycled 60-100 miles and was a 3rd Dan grade in Jujitsu). In August 2019 I was struck down with back pain and sciatica. I tried the usual non-invasive visits to Osteopaths, Physios, and Chiropractors, etc, but none worked. By October 2019, I'd had several visits to A&E and been prescribed every kind of pain relief. My last to A&E visit was by Ambulance on Entonox (gas and air), after collapsing at home unable to support my own weight. It was at this visit I was referred to Dr. Sadek's clinic by the A&E team. After receiving an MRI scan, an appointment was arranged with Dr. Sadek and he immediately diagnosed the problem (herniated disc). He took time to explain the scan pictures in detail, and to find out more about me; my activity levels, my job, my fitness regime, my underlying health conditions (including type 1 diabetes). My main concern was being able to maintain my activity levels and fitness, and once Dr. Sadek understood this, he made it his main concern too. He recommended to correct the problem and reassured me he would have me running again within 4 months (I'd like to pretend I didn't believe him, but he was so reassuring it was difficult not to). I had the operation mid-Jan 2020 and 24 hours after the operation began walking (albeit slowly). It was the first time I had walked without sciatic pain for 6 months and without heel pain for 2 years. I can confirm as of May 2020 (four months post-operation, as promised) I am cycling and running again. This is entirely down to Dr. Sadek. I cannot thank him enough. If you have to chance to be under the care of Dr. Sadek, take it!. Trust him, listen to him, and have faith in him. He has given me my life back. The man works miracles. Jason P

He has an ability to talk to people on any level he comes across as caring and genuine and he certainly knows what he is talking about.

From the very first consultation Mr Sadek instilled you with confidence. I had a severe complaint and for the previous 18 months felt that I was being fob off, this in spite of a consultant saying I presented with clinical evidence that showed urgent surgical intevention was required. On the day of the surgery, Mr Sadek saw me to reassure me and to make sure that all was in order. I then underwent the surgery and transferred to a ward. When I came around from the anaesthesia, I was simply amazed that the excruciating pain that I had suffered just hours earlier was gone. I thought to myself, "surely, give it a few hours and it will be back." I am very pleased to say I was wrong. It has been about 6 months since the surgery and I am very, very pleased to say that the surgery has been a complete success. On a follow-up telephone call, Mr Sadek remembered that I still had disc problems in my back and assured me that he would get me seen to as soon as possible. In fact he said he would arrange for another MRI scan so that when elective operations were restarted, I would be ready for treatment. I know that this profession is their "job". but what a difference a little mutual respect and empathy can make! If you are fortunate to appear on his list for surgery, rest easy, you are in the hands of a man who takes pride in his work
