Patients praise his surgical outcomes for spinal procedures, including microdiscectomy and ACDF. Mr. Husien's reassuring manner and patient-focused approach lead to a very positive overall experience. His expertise addresses lower back surgery, herniated discs, and associated back pain.
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 comfortable at every stage. I would highly recommend Mr Husien to anyone requiring similar surgery. His office team were also very helpful.
I couldn’t recommend my surgeon highly enough. From my first consultation through to my surgery and follow-up, he was professional, reassuring and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout what was a very stressful time for me. I’m very grateful for the care I received and for the improvement I’ve experienced following my microdiscectomy. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing similar treatment.
easy relaxing manner,details explained in layman language
A great experience overall, the staff were very nice and helpful. Doctor Husien is excellent.
Very efficient from beginning to end of the whole process
I had a discectomy for which Mr Husien clearly explained the procedure. He advised of possible risks and probabilities and reassured me. My surgery was routine and recovery quick.
My 87 yr old mother was almost bed ridden and surviving on painkillers other medical professionals were reluctant to operate but we were blessed to get an appointment with Mr Husien . Mr Husien was amazing and lovely to deal with very re-assuring and confident of a positive result after surgery . Surgery went unbelievably well after care from Mr husien and his secretarial staff was brilliant . From a position of constant pain and limited mobility to walking upright and pain free at 87 yrs old is to say the least a miracle .
The initial recovery period was rough but Mr. Husien explained everything in the post-op review.
Dr husien was absolute pleasure to deal with friendly professional and so informative.. and a great bedside manner..exceptional ..
I had a robotic Tlif cage fusion surgery on L4/5 . I'd experienced pain down my leg behind my knee. I'm 74 women, slim build. This went well and Mr Ben Husien was very professional and kind. I was 3 days in hospital. My pain level was manageable with 2 days on a drip and afterwards on tablets. I was up walking to the bathroom and sent home 3 days. Post op rest and moving with help at home was good. 6 weeks later I was back at Hermitage for an xray and all well. Walking, exercise, rest, eating well, going to physiotherapy so I found it all within my capacity to manage the pain level but have tremendous help from my spouse. I'd very much recommend Mr Ben Husien a wonderful surgeon and kind man. July 2026.
