Reviews
Mr Farah is is a very positive person and made me feel confident about having my operation for micro vascular decompression. The care I received in the Walton Centre was excellent, all the staff were very friendly and caring.
Thanks for your kind review of the services you recieved with us
Dr Farah performed a right- sided MRI guided focussed ultrasound thalamotomy on me on 12 January 2023 in order to give me function in my right hand again. I am very happy with the result as I can now eat and drink with this hand, although I cannot use a knife and fork as I have a quite severe tremor in my left hand I hope that it will soon be possible for Mr Farah to carry out this procedure on my left hand. I also have severe tremors in my legs which Mr Farah diagnosed as negatively affecting my gait and as he explained that this procedure could possibly make that condition worse he adopted a more cautionary approach. Although I still have a very mild tremor in my right hand now, at times, and following activity, I am still very happy with the result. I would like to commend Mr Farah and his team for their professionalism, their consideration for my comfort at all times and for their consistent clear explanations of what to expect before, during and after the procedure. I developed dysgeusia following the steroid treatment and this is still a problem after 12 weeks. I hope this settles down very soon as it makes all food and drink, even water, taste unpleasant. It would have been helpful if this had been mentioned as a possibility, even if it’s a rare occurrence. I Would like to thank Mr Farah and his team and all the staff with whom I came into contact at The Walton Centre for their caring attitude and professionalism.
Thanks for your kind review, I will share it with the team. Looking forward to see you in the follow up
Mr Farah kept me informed during the whole process, before during and after my DBS surgery.
I felt confident in the care and expertise of Mr Farah's team during my stay at The Walton Centre.
Mr Farah has also attended my outpatients appointments to chat with myself and other members of the DBS Team to ensure my recovery was going as planned.
Thanks for your kind review of our service
Mr Farah performed a MR guided Focussed Ultrasound Thalamotomy on me on the 26th January 2021. This remarkable operation has moved me from being totally disabled to a condition that I now have the use of my right hand back. I am now able to write again use my computer keyboard ,clean my teeth and eat my food and drink without spilling it all aver myself. Mr Farah and his team explained the risks of the procedure before the operation in a simple and open way; thankfully very few of the possible side affect have adversely affected me. Though I do have balance problems.
Overall I can’t thank Mr Farah and his team enough for their care and skill during this life changing procedure.

Thanks for your review and I am very pleased we were able to help
I was very impressed by Mr Farah's attention to detail. During the surgical procedure to implant DBS equipment at the Walton Centre I was greatly reassured by the competence of the surgical team and the grasp of even small details evinced by Mr Farah.
The follow up was thorough and again reassuring.
I honestly cannot offer any suggestions for improvement.
Thanks for your feedback, will share it with the whole team
