Mr Parag Sayal

Mr Sayal explained everything clearly. His work was of an extremely high standard and was delivered efficiently and effectively.

I had an initial and a follow up consultation with Mr Sayal. His listening skills, his deep insights, his extensive experience and clinical knowledge and his common sense were very impressive. A superb surgeon is not only one who operates with skill in theatre, but one who knows when not to operate. Mr Sayal demonstrates all these abilities. I used to teach consultation technique to medical students and doctors over my career and Mr Sayal’s communication skills are intuitive and extensive. I am blessed to have been referred to him and am most grateful for his help. He was honest and very helpful. His explanations of my spinal pathology were clear and he helped me hugely without making a single incision. Thank you Mr Sayal so much. You gave me practical advice which changed my life and your honesty in warning me not to have surgery, and why, were illuminating and intensely helpful. I will always be grateful to you.

My results were explained very clearly and the comparisons between the two MRI scans were broken down in a very easy to understand way. Mr Sayal was great at answering my questions and concerns and it was a very positive appointment.

Very good.

I work at Horizon Health Network (https://horizonhealthnetwork.co) where we strengthen health systems while providing a clinician-led health facilitation service for medical tourists whose health systems at home are too fragile to fully address their needs. We recently referred a patient to Mr Sayal who had seen several doctors from various parts of the world over a ~30 year period due to spinal issues impacting their sensory and motor function. Mr Sayal provided an exceptional, patient-centred, and thorough service during the patient's short visit to the UK. It is rare to find a doctor who is willing to be as comprehensive as Mr Sayal is, without using jargon or confusing the patient. Mr Sayal and his team were also responsive and happy to help before, during and after the referral.

Mr Sayal was recommended to me by a consultant regarding my CSF leak. I felt that Mr Sayal's advice and guidance throughout was impeccable. Everything was explained in great detail, every process I would need to go through from beginning to the very end including the recovery time. He made me feel at ease throughout my major surgery. His professionalism, knowledge and expertise and surgical experience are next to none. I would highly recommend Mr Sayal.

Mr. Sayal provided my second opinion and was perfect. He had spent the time familiarising himself with my case before we met and was thorough and empathetic and helped me reach a decision to have the surgery. I felt very confident about the upcoming surgery and was well cared for afterwards. It was a frightening time for me as so much could have gone wrong, but Mr. Sayal's care was extraordinary and I am lucky to have had him and Mr. Casey. A dream team.

I was treated by Mr Sayal for a CSF leak. He was excellent at explaining the condition and treatment options available, and helped me to come to a decision on the best course of treatment for myself. Ultimately I opted to have surgery to repair the leak, which Mr Sayal completed successfully. I couldn't have asked for a more caring and professional consultant.

Very professional, knowledgeable and understanding, explained my issue and the options in full, allowing me to make a final decision on my treatment. Highly recommend Mr Sayal

Context: I was under Mr Sayal for C5 nerve compression at the C4-5 level of my spine due to damage and fragmentation of the disk. Initially diagnosis was split between nerve compression or brachial neuritis. We worked with a Neurophysiologist and Neurologist (Dr Manji) to reach a diagnosis. Feedback: My treatment, and the overall experience, with Mr Sayal has been exceptional. I have not only been very impressed with his level of knowledge and skill as a surgeon, but also highly rate his communication style, consultative manner, and compassion for his patients. As a patient it was a very difficult time, however, the approach taken by Mr Sayal gave me great confidence throughout and made a bad situation very bearable and a positive experience. With the sudden loss of motor function in my right arm, it was important to react quickly to support a diagnosis and corrective action. Mr Sayal dealt with the situation with level urgency it demanded, engaging and mobilising with colleagues to support a rapid diagnosis and decision making. It is clear speaking with his colleagues the respect they have for him as a surgeon and communicator. From a patient engagement perspective, Mr Sayal wase excellent. We discussed in detail our options and the challenges, but in a collaborative and easy manner which allowed us to come to informed and joined up decisions. Throughout the process, I felt there was clarity, transparency, and honesty. As a patient during these meetings, it can be difficult to capture and remember all the detail, there is a lot happening.
