Mr Al-Mahfoudh removed my spinal tumour in 2019. I had severe sciatic and back pain for about 5 years. Following surgery, I have been pain free (bar the recovery from the surgery itself) and I am enjoying a much better quality of life. Surgery is a big decision, but I have no regrets and Mr Al-Mahfoudh did a great job, as did all the nursing staff at Royal Sussex County.

I had been suffering from the condition Trigeminal Neuralgia which is extremely painful and quite debilitating. I was referred to Mr Al-Mahfoudh after seeing a local neurologist. I found him to be very knowledgeable of a relatively rare condition and was confident in his ability to perform MVD surgery to improve my quality of life. The decision to have the surgery was one I didn’t take lightly due to the nature of it but I am so glad I chose to do so. I have been pain free and medication free since having the operation in December 2018 and am so grateful to Mr Al Mahfoudh for giving me my life back. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering neurosurgery and can’t thank him enough.

I recently had a L4/L5 microdiscectomy at Brighton Nuffield Hospital after a herniated disc had worsened over recent months progressing to pain down both legs. I had been extremely nervous about having an operation and Mr Al-Mahfoudh and his secretary Isabella helped to answer my questions and concerns. Mr Al-Mahfoudh even called to check up on me one morning when my symptoms had reached a peak and I was extremely concerned. I've been very happy with my recovery so far and the results of the surgery. I was up and about the next day with my pain gone and I'm getting stronger and stronger each day. Stronger than I've been in ages. Thank God there are talented and caring surgeons such as Mr Al-Mahfoudh. I feel extremely lucky to have found him. I would recommend him to anybody considering surgery or even wanting advice on their condition. Thank you! Robyn

I recently had a C6/7 discectomy and ACDR under the care of Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh. He was extremely professional and caring throughout the whole process from initial consultation to post-op. My recovery has good and the surgery has hugely improved my symptoms. Any questions and queries I had outside of our consultations were handled promptly by his assistant Isabella who made the whole process very seamless. I would highly recommend Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh - Thank you for all you have done. Regards Josh

Mr Al-Mahfoudh and his assistant Isabella Fiore-Brown made the whole process as smooth as possible. His professional and reassuring manner put me at ease from the first meeting. From the consultant to the hospital to the anaesthetist to the nursing staff and everyone else involved, I felt in good hands. I cannot praise Mr Al-Mahfoudh highly enough.
