Mr Bahram Fakouri

Written by a private patient at London Bridge Hospital

I underwent spinal surgery performed by Mr Fakouri, in a two-stage process, in January 2024. Mr Fakouri reassured me throughout the process with his obvious deep knowledge about my pre-operation condition and his quiet confidence that he could help. I was truly nervous about the surgical option, but Mr Fakouri answered my questions in detail, explaining all available treatment options, while allowing me to make my own decisions. After a few consultations with him to explore my options, I became confident that I was in excellent hands and gave informed consent to surgery. While in hospital, he stopped by every day, which helped relax me. Most importantly, I was treated with dignity and respect throughout. There are simply no words with which I can sufficiently thank Mr Fakouri for the excellent care I received from him. As far as I am concerned, the man is a genius!

I was referred to Dr Fakouri after suffering for a number of years with sciatica pain in both my legs and buttocks, coupled over the last year with needles and pins and severe numbness in both feet. After a MRI scan and x-rays I was diagnosed with lower back and bilateral leg pain, as a result of severe spinal canal stenosis at the L4/5 and L3/4 and L2/3. I was then listed for an operation for discectomy and decompression at L4/5 and L3/4. The goal of this procedure was to decompress the neural structures and improve my symptoms in my buttocks, legs and feet. Upon first meeting Dr Fakouri I found him to be highly professional, articulate and supportive, calm, patient and knowledgeable, a good listener with a vast amount of knowhow, ability and experience in both orthopaedics and neurosurgery, making him highly skilled in the treatment of all spinal conditions. I instantly felt I was in safe hands with his reassuring explanations of surgical procedures, his viewpoints, honesty and courteous demeanour. A wonderful man who is humble, respectful and caring, likable, sincere and charming. I have to mention also Dr Fakouri’s delightful, experienced and brilliant consultant physiotherapist, Rashida Pickford. Rashida’s many amazing qualities combined with her ability and enthusiasm to help and explain complex processes and outcomes in a clear and understandable manner made her an absolute joy to speak with. My operation was a complete success in respect of the pain and mobility in my back and legs and my wound healed completely with no problems. My balance was better but not great as I still had considerable numbness in my feet, which was due to having the operation so late in relation to my condition. This will hopefully improve over the next few months and with the correct physiotherapy and exercise should get back to normal over time. Therefore I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Fakouri to anyone looking for a brilliant, exceptionally talented and gifted surgeon to perform any type of surgical operation to the spine.

This Doctor shared his knowledge and expertise in a professional yet user friendly way. He told my options with pros and cons. The survey in my opinion was a great success.
