I saw Mr Danawi and in total Had 3 spinal injections none worked at £2000 a time. Ok the 4th follow up which cost another £160 I asked about a spinal nerve block. He said he would have to keep injecting until we found the right nerve to block. How many £2000 would that be? Having declined and referred my self to another private practitioner it appears there is nothing wrong with my back and I have piriformis syndrome which only requires some stretching and physical massage to in spasm the muscle. What a waste of £5000

I have had several injections over the last few years given by Mr Dannawi. I have chronic back pain and very painful Sciatica. I had a face to face with Dr Dannawi last week. The last telephone conversation I had with him. We made a pact. He said " if this injection doesn't work I will give you an operation". I agreed. The injection hasn't worked. I asked about operation and he said "you don't need one". About three years ago, he offered me one. As my condition wasn't as bad then, I declined. I've had this condition for over 23 years. It's worse now. I'm feeling very deflated and disappointed in Nr Dannawi as he reneged on his promise.

10th June 2023 It is a year ago today, Mr Zaher Dannawi performed a spinal decompression and tightened a few loose discs. I initially saw Mr Dannawi as my GP practice only advised more medication for my pain. This happened several times until I was taking over the recommended dosage as well as paracetamol in between. I could barely function day to day as the pain, despite all the medication was unbearable. From the moment I met Mr Dannawi he was empathetic. He took my hand, and said "I can help you, & make you feel better", and he has. I no longer take TWELVE painkillers nor EIGHT paracetamol. One year on, and I walk unaided, I sleep in a bed, not a chair, wash and dress myself, do my own shopping, and I even go to an aerobics class twice a week! None of this would have been remotely possible without this operation. I haven't got my old life back, I have a new pain free life, and I owe that to this remarkable and caring man and a wonderful, professional and talented doctor Mr Zaher Dannawi. Amanda T.

In Feb 2017 I experienced excruciating back pain and was seen by Mr Dannawi privately, he very quickly arranged an MRI and prescribed pain relief, for this I was and still am very grateful, he recommended a nerve block injection and an appointment was made, unfortunately after the procedure was performed I was paralysed from the waist down for over 6 hours, it was quite scary and I asked to speak with Mr Dannawi but was told he had gone home, at approximately 11pm I was discharged by The Rivers still unable to walk without the assistance of my daughter, subsequently I have suffered severe weakness, pins and needles, pain and what I can only describe as spasms in my legs, in the following couple of months I saw Mr Dannawi I think 3 times but never felt he showed any interest in the difficulty I was experiencing, it is now over 3 years since the procedure and I still have chronic back and referred pain issues, I have not had a day without pain for years and wish with my whole being I had never had the injection, it has ruined my life, I do not feel Mr Dannawi and The Rivers Hospital showed any compassion or interest in my wellbeing, only in charging me for further appointments even though I had spent approximately £3000 to make my things worse
