Mr. Quraishi right from our first meeting showed not only his knowledge and skill but also his willingness to convey the details of the problem and the possible solutions in language that a layman could understand. As a result I knew that I was in good hands. The need for an operation was clear and was organised with the minimum of fuss and fortunately only a short delay. After the operation I was able to get out of bed within 24hours and home shortly afterwards. After a pain free year I am now able to do tasks which I thought were out of reach. The level of improvement is significantly greater than that which he said that I might expect.
At all levels the consultations, treatment and nursing were to the highest standard. I have no hesitation in giving a five star review.
He listened. He explained. He clarified when necessary and was always reassuring. Could not wish for a more understanding and sympathetic person. His compassio was evident both pre and Post operation
Mr Quraishi was brilliant from start to finish, kept me up to date with everything on the day of surgery after explaining in depth what procedure I would have and what he would be doing. I had a spinal fusion & decompression at L4/L5 level. One year later and it has changed my life, I couldn’t walk 15 yards before without pain but now I can walk miles and enjoy days out with my family, something I couldn’t do before.
If you are thinking of any surgeon, Mr Quraishi is the guy you need! Super professional and knowledgeable.
Throughout consultations I was treated with care & respect; full information was given & the implications of any treatment was fully explained. My questions were given thoughtful consideration so that together, we came to decisions on how to proceed. When asking for guidance / recommendation, the consultant gave his opinion supported by his professional experience.
Whether in person or receiving telephone consultations, I was not hurried & before concluding Mr Quaraishi was careful to ensure that we both shared a clear understanding of the current situation & any future proposals.
I only met with Dr Quaraishi the once, (morning of my surgery). But him and his team have totally changed my life for the better! I had spent over 6yrs searching for consultant to take my case on, following SCI in 2003 with resulting kyphosis following which had fused itself together. Many surgeons before him advised further surgery too risky and happy to leave me with chronic pain and diminished quality of life! Surgery was huge and 2yrs later my pain levels are almost nothing and quality of life increased my 75%. Thank you
