Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh

Written by a patient at Nuffield Hospital Brighton

I was in severe pain in my back,right leg prior to a consultation by Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh. He arranged for scans to be carried out which were carried out very quickly. Surgery was recommended on the spine for a slipped disc and spinal stenosis. The surgery took place within two weeks. All the risks were explained to me by Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh prior to surgery at the Nuffield health hospital at Brighton, I was released within 48 hours and I have been pain free ever since. I have now had a follow consultation at the hospital and given the all clear. I would highly recommend this surgeon to anybody who has back problems, his consultations are very thorough and honest any questions you have will be explained very professionally. I would like to thank Mr Al-Mahfoudh for his professionalism and aftercare. He has made me feel pain free. Thank you Sir. Regards John

Mr Al-Mahfoudh is a delightful person as well as being very knowledgeable, confident and experienced in his field. I was initially very anxious after my diagnosis but he went out of his way to allay my fears and I felt very well understood and cared for.

I am very pleased to report that my situation has improved since my visits to Mr Al-Mahfoudh and after having the caudal epidural injection. Every morning I religiously follow some of the exercises from your webpage as per instructions. I have also resumed doing pull-ups which I had not done for several years previously. Although uncomfortable at first, I am now increasing the number and I feel that it is helping me. I have not had the chance to try swimming in the sea as yet although I have entered in the water when the sea was calm with little problem. I now drive without the rolled-up towel behind my lower back - this is a joy. I am also sleeping better than I did before. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your attention. Suffice to say, if I need further consultation, I will be in contact with you.

In Feb 2016 I was admitted under the care of Mr.Al-Mahfoudh with ascending paralysis due to a spinal sheath tumor. I must admit I was scared. At 55, having been married for just five months and sealed a contract with a showjumper, and an avid horse rider,to me, my whole world had been swepted from under my feet. When Mr.Al-Mahfoudh introduced himself as my surgeon, he asked me what I knew then went through everything with me. He was totally honest, reassuring,and his words were kind coupled with soft tones.I know it sounds silly but he made me smile as I felt totally relaxed confident and at ease. After the op, Mr. Al-Mahfoudh called my husband that night and came to see me first thing.The op went well and it was now 'my turn'. I have made an excellent recovery although still recovering as nerves take a long time to recover. I cannot thank Mr.Al-Mahfoudh enough, and also his team for saving my life, truely. And when ever I have a little low moment, I think of this wonderful man and what he has done.I am and will be eternally grateful.
