Mr Ali Nader-Sepahi

Written by a private patient at Spire Southampton Hospital

I was referred to Mr Sepahi from my neurologist, Adrian Millar, following an abnormality being identified on an MRI scan of my head and neck, namely impingement of my cervical spine. Over the course of a year my walking ability had dramatically deteriorated, from using a stick to a rollator and to the point where I was practically unable to walk at all. My long standing, 27 years, neurological condition masked the “presentation “ of the symptoms but I realised that something fundamentally was going very wrong. Mr Sepahi immediately observed that it was an issue with my lower spine, arranged an MRI scan which revealed compression of my spinal cord at T11/12 vertebrae (thorassic) He was friendly, approachable and was able to explain exactly what was going wrong and what was needed to fix it. He inspired confidence in his professional ability. Following the operation I have had an immediate and dramatic improvement in my walking ability, this is continually improving, but I no longer need walking aids. It seems like a miracle! So I would completely recommend Mr Sepahi to anyone who needs spinal surgery. I might add that his secretary, Bernice, was fantastically efficient in quickly arranging all the appointments.

Mr Sepahi is patient and very thorough He is extremely approachable, putting me at my ease immediately at the initial consultation. In the follow up he made sure he had sufficient time to explain the situation succinctly to me and, so importantly, in terms I could understand. I am so grateful for his help, kindness and knowledge. His secretary, Bernice, is excellent - very efficient and always willing to help. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Sepahi to anyone in need of his skills.

I am 78 and have degenerative spine disease. This operation was the second performed by Mr Sepahi on my neck. Mr Sepahi's operations have both been very effective in reducing pain. Most importantly they resulted in very quick recovery; surprisingly so for a man of my age. Mr Sepahi thoroughly explains the procedures with patience for a sometimes fuzzy thinker like me! Mr Sepahi's secretary, Bernice has been amazing in providing rapid response to any queries I have had. If I have any criticism at all, I found some of the staff at the Southampton clinic are not reading notes regarding my medical condition.

The treatment and care that I received for my recent Spinal surgery was excellent. One point I would like to make is, that during my first pre-op meeting with the team I was not told that I should not take any Ibuprofen. As I was in a lot of pain I had taken this as pain relief up until the day before my planned surgery. On the day of my planned surgery when I was asked what medication I had taken, I told the team that I had taken Ibuprofen the night before. Shortly afterwards Mr Sepahi came into my room and explained that I should not have been taking this medication and the reasons behind it. And because of this my surgery had to be postponed. Which in turn meant another 4 weeks of waiting and more pain. When I returned for my rescheduled procedure I was treated by Mr Sepahi and the team very professionally and the care that I received was exemplary.
