I had a microdiscetomy performed by Mr Al-Mahfoudh 10 days ago. I had sciatica so painful in the end that I couldn’t sit down and had tried everything else to sort it for a long time to try and avoid an operation. Straight after the operation the pain had completely gone and my recovery has been easy and amazing. I can’t recommend Mr Al-Mahfoudh and his secretary Rochelle enough, both have been brilliant. The staff at the Spire Gatwick Park Hospital were equally wonderful and very helpful. Having the op has honestly changed my life!

I had stenosis of the spine which was compressing the spinal cord causing muscle wastage in the legs and difficulty walking, horrible nerve reactions with restless legs and difficulty straightening up after sitting or being bent. My calves legs were also very swollen. I underwent spinal decompression on 2 vertebrae, the surgery being undertaken in April 2019. As soon as I came round from the surgery I could tell things were better. The swelling went down on the legs, I could stand straight and the back ache had gone. I never required any pain killers post-op. I did develop a post op infection at the operation site a week later but was seen immediately at the hospital and it soon cleared up. I regard the op as a 100% success although 5 years on I am still trying to rebuild wasted muscles and the leg nerves still feel weird but this was damage done prior to the op. Mr Al- Mahfoudh is a pleasant gentleman who has a confident demeanour which put me at ease and reduced my anxiety at having to undergo the operation. I recommend him unreservedly.

Emergency NHS anterior discectomy and fixation. Unbearable pain and paralysis going in to surgery. Spinal cord pressure relief and six months rehabilitation later I am relatively pain free and doing five mile walks. Great care from teams at Brighton and Worthing. All scarring is nicely healed with no complications. Not an easy journey and lots of hard work with excellent phisio teams to get here. More recovery to go to get feeling back in several areas, but easy to stay positive with great friends and family support.

Mr Al Mahfoudh arranged for the diagnostic tests and then made recommendations for treatment, adjusting and listening to my wishes whilst also making good points based on his experience and expertise. The planned treatment worked well and I am very pleased with the results. I will definitely see him again when required.
