Disc Hernia - Corticoid injections in the spine to relieve pain Caudal epidural combined with corticoid injections was performed 15 days ago at the London spine unit by Dr. Mo Akmal (spine surgeon) and his anesthetist (Dr. Ali), very professionally, nicely and reassuringly. Immediate relief, being able to walk and move with ease since (was completely stuck in bed before, in great pain unable to help my husband and 3 children). Despite being sedated and the epidural, felt I just had a nice nap after waking up (which is usually not the case after this kind of anesthetic). Nurses and staff also very pro and caring. All this was amazingly arranged very promptly. Follow up experience was also very professional. Never felt they were in a rush to get the consultations over, which is also pleasant. Would recommend this team with no hesitation (already had similar procedure in the past, but far less nice). Saved my summer!

The staff were welcoming and friendly on arrival, the procedure went very well according to Mr Akmal, although I feel like I've been hit by a freight train at the moment? I cannot believe literally 2 hours after Lumbar fusion surgery I feel ready to go home. Fantastic team and would highly recommend them for this procedure

The HSH is an efficient and eminently workable small hospital facility. Admission process was quick and friendly, although the wait time was long for the procedure. Such things occasionally happen when an earlier operation over runs. Spinal injections procedure went very well such that I have confidence in the ultimate results. I cannot fault any part of the process and would be enthusiastic to recommend both surgeon and hospital to others.

A very good experience from beginning to end. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The hospital is spotlessly clean. Mr Akmal explained my issue and gave an option of treatments. The operating team were first class and my ever attentive nurse Mila put me at ease. I would highly recommend the London Spine Clinic for treatment, absolutely faultless throughout

This is my third procedure with Mr Ackmal and his team for serious different issues. I am very surprised how quickly I have become mobile (3 hours) I came down from Stirling for this operation. I would not have trusted anyone else to do a procedure as intricate as this. 6 stars.

Friendly and efficient nursing Staff who made me feel relaxed and comfortable during my spinal procedure.

The London Spine Unit staff is friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and professional

Excellent overall experience.

I can't thank Mr Akmal and team at the London Spine Unit enough for their help. I had a herniated disc in my back which was causing pain and restrictions. Compared to other offers of surgery (e.g. several nights in hospital), the day surgery and minimally invasive procedure were hugely appealing. I am now 3 weeks post surgery, have no pain and am recovering incredibly quickly if I compare myself to friends who have had a similar procedure. it was truly remarkable, straightforward and the team were kind, friendly and always helpful. very highly recommended!
