The London Spine Unit - Best Spinal Surgeon UK

Mr Akmal performed a cervical disk replacement on me about three months ago, after more conventional routes of treatment had been exhausted and it became clear I needed invasive surgery. This was done on an outpatient basis, and I was grateful to be discharged on the same night, to recover in my own home. Regular check ups since, and my own perception confirm that the surgery has been successful and my healing process is going well. The physical problems the prolapsed disk had been causing have been resolved and I have regained full strength of my right hand. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Akmal and his team at the London Spine Unit. I felt in very safe hands.

I cannot praise or thank enough the professional, caring treatment I received from My Akmal and his team.After years of progressive pain in my arms, shoulders, neck and face , his diagnosis of my problems and treatment options brought welcome clarity.I elected for day case surgery to replace/fuse the cervical discs and it delivered immediate relief. Post the operation I received daily calls to monitor my progress and ensure I had no issues.As predicted a few weeks later I am virtually back to normal.I wholeheartedly recommend My Akmal as one of the top surgeons in his field.

I had been dealing with lumbar stenosis for many years and my quality of life was greatly affected. Despite trying to manage the pain with medication, the constraints on my activities were significant, impacting family life and limiting my mobility to short distances.My son researched extensively for treatments and found Mr Akmal and his team who are renowned for their expertise in the field of keyhole surgery for interspinous dynamic stabilisation. From our first meeting, Mr Akmal was understanding, reassuring, and took the time to discuss all my concerns in detail.The day of the surgery arrived and thanks to the precise skills of Mr Akmal and his incredibly dedicated team, everything went smoothly, and importantly, there were no complications and left the same day.Weeks have passed since my surgery and I am noticing continual improvement each day. The issues and pain that were constant companions before have vanished. Gradually, I am regaining strength and mobility in my legs.Additionally, post-surgery care and check-ups have been exemplary. It's evident that the whole team at the clinic truly care for their patients.To those who are also seeking a solution to similar issues, I highly recommend Mr Akmal and his team for their professional expertise, immense care, and the successful results they render. I am looking forward to being fully recovered in the coming months. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me a renewed life of vitality and freedom from pain.

I feel that I have my life back! A total of 7 years of back pain with last 3 years pain increasing and able to do less I finally managed to get an MRI scan which showed degenerative disc in L5 S1. No treatment options offered via NHS so I researched Consultants who may be able to help.Mr Akmal at the London Spine Unit came up with degenerative disc one of his specialisms. I sent my scans and Mr Akmal explained all options. I did not feel pressured to have an operation at all. Written information sent on all options for me to make informed decision. I opted to have spinal fusion and although day case felt initially optimistic it is much better to be at home (or hotel overnight) than in a hospital bed. Keep moving is key to recovery.All the staff I have met have been friendly and professional. Easy to contact and from initial contact to operation was just over 2 weeks - although I could have waited if I wanted to.7 weeks on, I can now sleep at night with no pain, can bend and twist.Highly recommend clinic and Mr Akmal and his team.

Turned up for an appointment after being told by Akmals secretary an appointment wS confirmed.Drove 45min and then was told nothing had been confirmed.Use your time to find a more reliable surgeon and practise.Bunch of jokers

Fantastic experience with Mr Akmal and team. I was in and out for surgery on the same day (my previous microdiscectomy had been a 2-night case).I felt like I was given the right amount of information and chance to try other measures to make my own informed choice about surgery.I had no pain following the operation, and my quality of life is so much better now. I can move and walk freely.I recommend Mr Akmal as the best for this back surgery.

I would give 5 stars and highly recommend Mr. Mo Akmal of the London Spine Unit at Harley Street. Mr Akmal is an amazing surgeon who really took time to understand my symptoms and gave sensible advice to help me. I wish I had found him years ago but I'm so pleased that he is here, if I ever need him again.At the consultation, he took time to go over the diagnosis clearly and we discussed the treatments options carefully. The surgery itself went smoothly. I was really impressed that they could do such complicated surgery as a day case. My anaesthetic was great as I felt no nausea or pain at all afterwards. I was called the day after the surgery to make sure everything was ok.Overall, my experience was wonderful and reassuring from start to finish but most importantly, I am very grateful to Mr Akmal for his expertise in giving me some quality of life back.I wholeheartedly recommend him and his surgical team.

I went through several appointments with the nhs and two private doctors before seeing Dr Akmal. Thank goodness I did. I was told the only way to fix my back problems was with fusion surgery (metal rods put into my back). Immediately Dr Akmal suggested a far less intrusive and less painful route which had never been suggested before. One week later I was in the theatre and my horrible sciatic pain immediately disappeared. If I had waited for the nhs or indeed these other private surgeons, it would have been another 18months before I could get surgery done. Thank you so much to Dr Akmal and his amazing team for taking such good care of me! Yippeee!!!

Look no further for a spine specialist.Whilst shadowing Dr Akmal and the rest of the team in the hospitalI couldn’t help but notice the exceptional care him and all the staff provided.Dr Akmal is outstanding at what he does with years of experience and most importantly I could tell he genuinely had his patients best interest at heart.His care, honesty and expertise will keep you or your loved ones in safe hands.I witnessed so many patients (post surgery) that were extremely pleased with their improved quality of life and I saw many patients that were in luck that they came to him in time as they weren’t taken seriously elsewhere.He is truly a life saver and a remarkable role model to the profession.I would a 100% recommend him to anyone and will be doing so to all my friends and family.

I had the discectomy/decompression surgery & it worked perfect.My sciatica & back pain has completely disappeared.The surgeon & all the staff are incredible & I cannot thank & recommend Mr Mo Akmal at Harley Street Hospital enough.
