Reviews
The service provided was excellent. All aspects of the surgery was explained and the procedure worked, massively improving my mobility.
I was extremely pleased with Prof. Quraishi's diagnosis and surgery, especially when he
agreed to examine extra vertebrae and operated when he discovered it was needed.
That is going above and beyond what's normally expected.
He has been polite, courteous and put me at ease.
Prof. Quraishi kept me well informed throughout the whole process, explaining things in layman terms if it sounded complicated.
I consider I had the most excellent of treatment which improved my life considerably, I had been in extreme pain for a considerable time and this was totally relieved by the spinal decompression operation. I can now walk distances without a frame and am tall and upright once more. Thank you Prof. Quraishi.
I like the way Dr Quraishi was open about the likely outcome following surgery and he was honest about potential side effects.
Following the surgery, I was reviewed as I had not recovered as quickly as hoped I was given a further appointment for review which I felt was helpful and reassuring.
Mr Quraishi gave a full explanation of the surgery involved in an open,calm and clear manner and putting me at my ease.
Mr Quraishi has fixed my back twice, both being down to me doing too much on a building site. Over the last 30 years I have had 4 back operations and I would only be confident going into theatre knowing Mr Quraishi is performing the surgery, Mr Quraishi is very explicit to what he can do for you and what the outcome can be, I feel completely at ease with him and have full confidence in his abilities, how I look at it everyone has only one back and if you have a problem with it then you want the best and I believe he is!!.
Each time I have gone into hospital I am struggling to walk, in severe pain, unable to do most tasks, cannot even turn over in bed, leaving no quality of life, but he cures that, what more can you ask for?
Highly recommended.
