Trust in the healthcare professional is the single most important element from the perspective of the patient.

After suffering with a torn disc in my spine, I had been seeking help for around a year to no prevail. On my first appointment with Mr Shah I felt at complete ease and felt I'd finally found a medical professional who cared and listened. He was professional, friendly, and so patient. He acted quickly in diagnosing the specific problem and gave me options which we discussed at length so I was fully informed. I never thought that being taken into surgery for spinal surgery would feel so calm and comfortable. Mr Shah was incredible with his care and compassion even after an initial failed procedure (completely down to me) he acted quickly in getting me booked back in. At only 28 years old he has given me my life back and given my Daughters their Mum back for which I will be eternally grateful. I couldn't have found a better medical professional.
5
From the initial consultation to the day of the operation Mr Shah went through the procedure he would perform very clearly and informative. I am now pain free, painkiller free, back enjoying life
