Professor Keyoumars Ashkan MBE

I introduced a friend, a professor of literature in Kazakhstan with Parkinson’s condition, to Professor Ashkan requesting him to just do an initial consultation by way of WhatsApp. I knew Professor Ashkan as I had recently been referred to him by NHS for my Sciatica. I found his advice invaluable. Then more recently I saw on TV and radio that professor Ashkan had made breakthrough discoveries on how to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s- amongst his hundreds of qualifications- so I wrote him a letter and asked if he could just do an initial consultation with my friend in Kazakstan. I really wasn’t sure if he’d reply or accept such an outlandish request! Yet he did. Communication with Central Asia is extremely hard due to the intermittent Internet connectivity. Professor Ashkan humbly accepted to make this effort and have the necessary initial conversation. The result was magic. The patient who was deeply concerned that he would need an operation - which he could barely afford- and imagined that otherwise he would die or be extremely poorly - was told there was no need to be anxious and he could continue with his medical treatment, and that it was not necessary at this stage to operate. Just this reassurance plus a few new tips from a top specialist lifted the anxiety and the patient already feels much better. I think very few specialists in high demand at the level of professor Ashkan would be ready to go through the long waits and difficulties of making such contacts with a far away patient. But it meant the world to the patient - and to me. This to me was the sign of a tru...

I had an excellent experience with Professor Keyoumars Ashkan. He was extremely patient, took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, and explained every detail thoroughly. He discussed all the possible treatment options with me, including options that no other consultant had previously mentioned. I really appreciated the time he took to ensure I fully understood my options and felt informed about my care. I would also like to thank his secretary, Jennie, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and prompt throughout the process. I am very grateful to both Professor Ashkan and Jennie for their professionalism, kindness, and support. I would highly recommend them.

I had a very positive experience with Professor Ashkan during my initial consultation. He was incredibly warm, friendly and professional, and made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. He took time to listen to my concerns, provided helpful information and advice, and kindly wrote a referral letter to a psychiatrist for further care. I really appreciate his kindness and help. I would highly recommend him.

Professor Ashkan performed surgery on me in July 2026. He was successful in completely removing a tricky brain tumour. He was quick at getting me into surgery, and he was always very nice and positive, making me feel safe at all times. I can't thank him enough for his care.

Professor Keyoumars was very professional and provided all the information I was interested in about DCVax

I had the best treatment from Proff. Ashkan and his team! From the beginning of my treatment to the end. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best Neurosurgeon in the UK. I got the best treatment!

Professor Ashkan saw our young son at 78 Harley Street, and we could not have asked for better care. From the first appointment, he was warm, patient and unhurried — explaining everything in terms we could understand and putting our son completely at ease. The follow-up scans and the whole HCA experience ran smoothly, and his PA team were responsive and kind throughout. We felt genuinely looked after at every step and left knowing our son was in the very best hands. Wholeheartedly recommended to any parent seeking a paediatric neurosurgeon who combines real expertise with humanity."

We have been seeing Professor Ashkan for my father’s medical condition over the past few years. Throughout this time, he has always been incredibly professional, supportive, and extremely helpful. We are truly grateful for the time, care, and support Professor Ashkan has consistently provided to my father. We greatly appreciate everything he has done for us.

When I met Professor Ashkan I was immediately struck by his friendly but very knowledgable and professional approach, he gave me a lot of confidence and support for my problem . He is clearly a good man

Professor Ashkan was very thorough and gave a lot of very interesting and helpful advice. My only problem was the sound quality of the Microsoft Meeting. There were 3 other participants at my end, so between us, we managed to hear and understand all that was discussed.
