Reviews
Mr. Farah operated on me in 2014 for the removal of a Cavernous Haemangioma in my right temporal lobe.
From the very beginning he explained about conservative treatment and the implications of jumping straight into surgery, so that is what we opted for initially. Eventually though, we had to go down the surgical route.
The operation took longer than anticipated as I had a seizure during the surgery and Mr. Farah took the time to get a message to my wife to reassure her that all was well. He then sought her out at the hospital to discuss the surgery in person.
I cannot thank this man enough for what he did for me and my family.
Yes, brain surgery is scary, but if I had to do it again, I would not hesitate to go back to Mr. Farah.
The Walton Centre and Mr. Farah provided such amazing care, and even though the clinic appointments tend to overrun, be reassured that this is because all of the staff take the time to really understand what is going on and address your concerns. The wait will be worth it.
I was so scared about treatment but Dr Farah reassured me so much I’m now on his waiting list
Mr Jibril Osman Farah is a wonderful consultant. He is very kind and empathetic. He has immense knowledge and is very professional. Nine years ago, he performed an anterior discectomy on me. Then seven years ago he implanted a spinal cord stimulator in me. I’ve never come across a constant who actually listens to you.
Mr J Farah is not only a fantastic skilled surgeon but also a kind hearted and caring person. Mr Farah explained everything he was going to do to me Before he did it and spoke to me in words I could understand with out be littling me.Mr Farah also took time to talk to my family.He even phoned my Daughter at home before I had my operation to explain what was going to Happen to me.I had a benign Tumour with swelling surrounding it.Some of the swelling could not be removed as it was attached to a vain and Mr Farah did not want to remove it as it would of caused me to have a stroke.It turned out to be a difficult operation.I new A would come through it as I had every faith in Mr Farah..I worship him as he saved my life and treated me as a humanbing..
Mr Farah is an excellent neurosurgeon whom I trust emphatically. He has a very pleasant manner that assuages any fears or concerns during consultations. I know that I will always receive optimal care and the greatest consideration from this very kind and caring professional.
