Mr Shah explained clearly to me about the spinal fusion and decompression surgery. Operation went smoothly, the pain I had before Operation had all gone when I woke up from surgery. Recovery went well ,and follow up appointments were a good thing to have ,for any questions I had and to know I was recovering well.

My meeting with Mr Shah was arranged speedily and efficiently. Some weeks before the consultation I had an MRI scan and my appointment with Mr Shah centred on its findings and his recommendations. Whilst explaining complex issues with great clarity, Mr Shah demonstrated that he is an attentive listener and I felt at ease from the outset and able to contribute when I wanted to. One part of the meeting that I will always remember was Mr Shah saying: “I have explained what is causing your problems. Now I am going to tell you the plan that I have for helping you to feel better”. After months of not knowing what was wrong with me, I now had a diagnosis and a plan to move forward. I am extremely fortunate that Mr Shah performed my surgery. He is the consummate professional in whom you can have implicit trust and confidence. I send my sincere thanks to him and his team.
