Mr Mansoor Foroughi

Written by a patient at Princess Royal Hospital

I first met this life saver around 20 months ago when I had been suffering with intense excruciating episodes of facial pain for over 6 years Up to this point the medical profession were all puzzled as to the reason behind them. MRI scans discovered an exceptionally large eustachian tube and resulted in numerous consultations with other Neurologists and ENT consultants which lead to multiple operations related to this. Sadly though the operations did not bring any cure and the pain attacks continued. Following a visit to a pain management consultant I was then referred to Mr Foroughi. During my1st consultation with Mr Foroughi I discovered that at last I had found someone who genuinely cared and was determined to investigate and resolve my problem. He was unbelievably kind, understanding and compassionate, realising I was almost at my wits end. He diagnosed a complicated form of trigeminal neuralgia. By that time i had become so heavily medicated by others doctors to try and keep the attacks under control life was just a painful haze, but Mr Foroughi vowed and reassured me that there would be a solution and explained in depth the MVD surgery he had planned along with the associated pros and cons and that due to the complexity of my case he couldn't guarantee 100% success. He wanted to be certain I understood the situation. A few setbacks with admission for surgery were experienced, thanks to the NHS situation, however again he was so kind and caring, realising my immense disappointment, he kept re-assuring me. Sure enough cranial surgery did finally happen where by Mr Foroughi did all that he had promised and more to stop any repeat pain episodes. During post surgery follow up consultations again Mr Foroughi went above and beyond to assure me that even if his procedure did cure the problem, he would not rest until he found something that would. Now, over a year later I can happily say I am medication free and other than some facial twinges that still go on, I've had no further severe attacks of pain. Mr Foroughi was indeed an absolute life saver and you are unlikely to meet a kinder or more caring man within the medical world. Mr Foroughi IS as good as it gets. Thank you Mr F. Val

I was under the care of Mr Foroughi for an ACDF procedure following a lengthy period of a pinched nerve causing significant neck and radiating pain down my arm. From the first time I met Mansoor he put my mind at rest considering the operation that had been recommended for my "slipped" disc. He was extremely thorough and answered all my questions and concerns. I was offered as many pre op. meetings as I needed until I was satisfied to go ahead with the procedure. The after care was excellent and Mansoor certainly went the extra mile for me regarding pain management. The nursing staff were all very good and attentive whilst I was on the ward post op. 1 year on and the pain has not returned and I'm living a normal active life again. I would highly recommend Mr Foroughi as a true specialist in his field. Rebecca Park.

Dr Foroughi treated my daughter in July this year and he was just amazing! He was so kind and caring right from the start and put her mind at ease along with my own. I was so worried about her and seeing her in so much pain was heart breaking. Now, she’s a completely new person! She recovered so well and very quickly and isn’t in pain anymore. He was fantastic, came and checked on her every day and was always smiling and always had time if we had any questions. I can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for her!

Words simply cannot describe how greatful I am to Dr Foroughi. Because of him I have my life back! After 18 months of being fobbed off saying take painkillers he was the first person to take my pain seriously. I had a tumour on my spinal cord and he removed all of it for me and I have made a full recovery and am now free to get on and enjoy my life. Before surgery, I was hunched over as I couldn’t stand up straight because of how much pain I was in. I was getting 0-3 hours of interrupted sleep each night. I had horrible sciatic pain all down my left leg from where the tumour was pressing on the nerve. Now, I can sleep normally and stand up straight without being in any pain at all. The surgery went extremely well and I was back home after just 10 days. From the moment I woke up, all the pain in my back and leg was gone! He came and checked on me every day I was in hospital and he was always so friendly, kind and reassuring! Even from the start when he first told me it was a tumour and I would need surgery I felt completely calm about it because he explained exactly what would happen and what everything meant. Nothing was too much for him. Not only is he a phenomenal Doctor, he’s a first class human being too. I’ll never forget what he’s done for me. THANK YOU!!

I had a cervical disc replacement performed by Mr Foroughi and recovered completely. He did a great job and his after care was also excellent. He's a total professional and also a really nice guy. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
