I was very pleased with all the help and appointments that I have had
Mr Awaiz Ahmed was recommended to me due to my complex medical history, including degenerative disc disease. From the outset, I found him to be very approachable and reassuring. He is a caring and compassionate doctor who takes the time to listen carefully to his patients. He provided clear and thorough explanations of my condition and treatment options, which I found extremely helpful. Mr Ahmed proposed a well-considered course of treatment that he felt was the most appropriate for my individual circumstances, giving me confidence in his expertise and judgement. I have seen a number of consultants over the years, and Mr Ahmed stands out as one of the best. I would highly recommend Mr Ahmed to anyone experiencing neck or back pain.
Mr Ahmed was very thorough and clear throughout and when my procedure happened it was quick and a fast recovery
Dear Mr Ahmed, I am writting to express my sincere gratitude to you, Mr Kotrba, Mr Lambett, Tobias, and all of your surgical team at croydon university hospital; For yours and Mr Kotrba's expertise and steady hand during my surgery for Severe Cervical Stenosis on 10 December 2025. I am aware that it was a big and delicate operation and I deeply appreciate the way you explained the risks before the procedure. This really put me at ease and was the deciding factor as to why I went ahead and "took a chance". You gave me a second chance at life, at the grand old age of 80, and I can not thank you enough. I am recovering well and feel very blessed to have had you and Mr Kotrba as my surgeons. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I am forever grateful. Best Regards, Vallis
Mr Ahmed explained my situation and the options available, he was patient and kind and listened. He diagnosed a protruding disc which was causing all the pain in my leg. I have completed my treatment now, 2 injections into my back, and will definitely return to Mr Ahmed if further treatment is needed. Highly recommended
I am extremely pleased with being under the care of Mr Ahmed. He has a very pleasant and professional manner and will listen to carefully to my answers to his questions and explains options specific to my condition.
A great surgeon, empathetic and caring towards his patients.
