It was a very scary time for me and my husband but from the moment we met Dr Vaqas we felt reassured. He always explained everything so clearly and calmly and never made us feel rushed, answering all our many questions! We had every faith in him and knew we were in good hands! We would like to thank him for all he has done.

We had a remote initial consultation with Dr Vaqas. He was very professional, had reviewed our images ahead of the appointment and took time to explain things very clearly to us. He discussed all possible options with us very thoroughly. Throughout the consultation he checked for any questions and answered all brilliantly. We would definitely recommend him to others in need of neurosurgical advice.
