Diagnosed immediately, great advise

He is knowledgeable, kind and trustworthy. He gave me every reason to be optimistic.

If I could put 10 stars, I would. After many years of non surgical treatment, all without any major relief, surgery was now inevitable. As a Canadian, I was looking for the best state of the art spinal units in the world to undergo spinal fusion of my L4-L5. After consulting over 4 specialists, some in New York which is much closer to home, I chose Dr. Akmal and the spinal unit because the personalize treatment, from pre-op to post op was by far, superior to any other centers I had visited. Dr. Akmal is one of the best surgeons which truly helped put me at ease, but on top of that, he and the entire unit treat you like family and it is a true one-stop-shop from tests to surgery to physio all under the same roof. I am now on week 3 recovering from spinal fusion surgery. I was standing and walking 2 hours post surgery, even walked to the office from the hotel 2 days after surgery. Week 3, I no longer have any back or nerve pain and my numbness in my leg is completely gone. A true miracle, as my mother would say! I am forever grateful to Dr. Akmal and the entire team and would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from back pain. Even the best surgeons in New York were anticipating a 3-6 month recovery for me...I feel truly blessed to be able to go home and show my husband and kids that they have their mummy back :-)

Extremely professional and very reassuring. He has a wonderful bedside manner but I hope I won't need to see him again!
