Mr Jibril Osman Farah

Written by a NHS patient at Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery

I received meticulous care from the time I entered the Walton Centre to the moment I left. Each professional I encountered was reassuring and time was taken to ensure I fully understood what was about to happen. It would have been useful if I could have been contacted by telephone on a weekly basis for the first three or four weeks to check on progress. I was given a telephone number to use if I wished to speak to a professional concerning my operation but on using this it took a date or two before I received a response.

Ive had severe epilepsy since I was 19/20, the year I was diagnosed I knew that I needed brain surgery to get rid of the seizures I was having, after having other neurologists for about 5 years I kept getting told I either couldn’t have surgery or that I didn’t need it when I knew for a fact that I did need it as I nearly died of a fit 3 times. As soon as I met DR Farah and his unbelievable team that he has with him DR Farah said I could have the brain surgery and we started the brain tests straight away. 1 year later I had the op in august which went better than could've imagined, thanks to DR Farah and his team at the walton centre I went into the operation more than ready to get the op done and after a few months left of recovery I’ll be all good to get back working full time with a massive 90% chance I won’t have a seizure again in the future, I couldn’t thank him and his team more for getting my life back, what a guy.

Mr Farah is looking after me due to the finding of a dnet brain tumour. I have 100% trust in his care, expertise and hands as a brain surgeon. If my tumour does grow and I have to have surgery I would have no hesitation in trusting his decision to go forward.

After suffering the most intense facial pain for many years caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia, I was referred by my GP to Mr Jibril Osman Farah. I’ll be forever grateful to Mr Farah who truly understands this condition like no one else I’ve met with. He explained everything in simple terms and at all times took time to listen and answer my questions. Mr Farah offered me surgery but at that time my condition was settling. I’m very anxious about how long it will be before the pain will return but feel confident and reassured that Mr Farah will be the best surgeon to correct this.

I’ve been under the care of Mr Farah for a while. On 24 August 23, I was admitted to the Walton Centre to undergo MR Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Essential Tremor in my right hand. From arrival at 7am to discharge the next day, may I say that the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. From Mr Farah and his team of Doctors to the people who shaved my head in readiness for my procedure and not forgetting the wonderful nursing staff and the smiling assistant who videotaped my tremor before and after my procedure. I found Mr Farah and his team most professional and caring and answered all my questions which really helped me. Look forward now to my outpatient appointments and hopefully next year I will be able to have the same procedure done on my left hand.
