I initially met with Mr Hussain because I was experiencing significant pain going down my leg. After assessing me, he recommended a microdiscectomy, which he subsequently performed. The surgery has been very successful and I’m delighted with the outcome. Throughout the whole process, Mr Hussain explained everything very clearly and was always kind, reassuring and understanding. I saw him again yesterday for my seven-week post-surgery check-up and, once again, felt very well looked after. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Hussain as a neurosurgeon and am very grateful for the care I received.

I had ACDF surgery with Mr Husien and very happy with the outcome. Mr Husien was very pleasant, professional, and reassuring throughout the whole process. He clearly explained the procedure and made me feel confident and comfortable at every stage. I would highly recommend Mr Husien to anyone requiring similar surgery. His office team were also extremely helpful, friendly, and supportive throughout.

Although there was a delay to see Dr on my final appointment, staff were very friendly and advised me to go for a coffee and gave me the time to come back. It wasn’t perfect, but they were as helpful as the could be and both they and the Dr himself were extremely apologetic about the delay.
