Mr Ahmed-Ramadan Sadek

Written by a patient at Queen's Hospital

I had been referred to Broomfield, then to Basildon Hospitals; had 5 injections, physio, CBT, counselling under their pain management to no improvement; and yet they refused to operate on my spine due to the risk. When I was referred to Queen’s, I was seen first by Mr Dubey who started his investigation, then left. What started as moderate became overwhelming, debilitating , severe pain. The newly appointed Mr. Sadek saw me on 17/10/19, listened to me with impeccable and courteous bedside manner, had me go to x-rays on the same day, agreed to operate as soon as could be arranged and by 25/2/20 he indeed fulfilled his medical vow. It took him and his colleagues over 7 hours to perform one of their most complicated and complex surgeries. I expected to have the scar running the length of my spine, yet as he performed it as key- hole, I have only the smallest of surface scars , and miraculously I could stand and walk within 4 days! He checked on me while I was hospitalised, instructed his secretary to keep me informed before and after the operation and he has been taking the time and effort to explain reasons and procedures-to the smallest detail- to me. I started to rue the day he will discharge me , as I feel safe knowing I can send him a message and he would actually do something accordingly. So, when I am singing his praise, I have all the reasons as I explained above. To any patient, I would say he is a brilliant surgeon and to fully trust him. God bless!

I had a bad accident back in October in a car crash and broken my back. My doctor was amazing I was so scared at first when it happened I thought I wernt going to be able to do anything again where I was an active girl I like all sports so was really worried but then after speaking to my doctor who fixed my back he’s made me feel safe and secure. I am so happy with the outcome. I couldn’t thank him enough

I had a consultation with Dr Sadek via a GP referral following an MRI scan for a long standing neck issue. On first meeting, his patient care and manner immediately put me at ease, and I really appreciated that he wanted to ensure himself he fully understand medical issues through my experiences. The way he asked relevant questions to help piece together symptoms and issues to arrive at a diagnosis was remarkable, and certainly reassured me of his expertise. He used the scan to explain his diagnosis and the medical need for surgery (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) in a way that allowed me to be fully briefed and confident that I understood the diagnosis and proposed treatment despite having no medical background. Throughout, I appreciated Dr Sadeq's empathy and reassurances, as well as patience in fully answering all my questions and concerns. Once we agreed that surgery was the appropriate treatment, Dr Sadeq provided me with a clear timeline on post-surgery recuperation. I found these timings to be utterly accurate which again reinforces to my mind Dr Sadeek's knowledge. I am now some 7 weeks post surgery and I no longer have a number of the debilitating symptoms I struggled with prior to surgery, and so the quality of my life has improved remarkably. I am also finding that my recuperation continues to follow the trajectory Dr Sadeek has outlined in our post surgery consultation. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Sadeek and his neurosurgical and orthopaedic knowledge and expertise, and I have nothing but thanks and gratitude for his intervention in my case.
