Reviews of London Spine Unit | Harley Street Clinic

On July 27th of this year, Mr. Mo Akmal at the London Spine Unit performed a decompression and stabilization operation to address my 12 years of spinal stenosis degeneration. I am now 7 weeks post operation and virtually pain-free. My posture is normal, I’m able to get a proper nights sleep and I’m walking two miles per day. I honestly feel like it’s been a miracle.

Mr. Akmal treated me holistically in the most caring and professional manner imaginable, with the least invasive approach being applied to my medical condition. Truly remarkable and one-of-a-kind.

I am beyond grateful to Mr. Akmal and the staff at the London Spine Unit for the undivided care I received. A very special thank you to all of you.

HAVING BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CYSTS AND LOTS OF WEAR AND TEAR IN MY LUMBER REGION,FOR THE FIRST TIME I SOUGHT PRIVATE SELF FUNDED TREATMENT,I WAS IN CONSIDERABLE PAIN.THE FIRST CONSULTATION I HAD WAS WITH MT BABOUR MAHMOOD OF THE CHILTERN PRIVATE HOSPITAL,HE DID NOT GIVE ME THE CONFIDENCE I WAS LOOKING FOR SO MY SEARCH TOOK ME TO “MO AKMAL’ OF THE HSH.I IMIDIATELY FORGED A BOND AND TRUSTED HIM,THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN EXCELLENT,FROM THE RECEPTIONIST TO MR AKMAL THE WHOLE TEAM ARE PROFFESIONAL AND ATTENTIVE.I CANNOT RECOMEND THEM HIGHLY ENOUGH!!

I attended the London Spine Unit and saw Mr Akmal as I had been suffering with sciatica leg pain and lower back pain for 2 years and conventional therapies just didn’t work. Mr Akmal listened to me carefully and patiently, and looked at my MRI scans. I had degenerating facet joints, spinal stenosis and grade 1 spondylolisthesis. He then recommended decompression surgery and the insertion of a dynamic stabilisation device (Coflex) and carefully explained why, and other options I could pursue. I went with the surgery recommendation and it is the best decision I have ever made! Mr Akmal and all his team are patient, caring, highly skilled and friendly, providing excellent nursing, medical and surgical care. The anaesthesia is wonderful – no wooziness or nausea, and the pain management after the op is very effective.

The pain in my back and leg is now hugely reduced and it continues to fade day by day 2 months on from the op. Mr Akmal and his team have changed my life – thank you so much to everyone.
