Stuart Went

“I have been suffering with lower back pain for a number of years which has lead to spasms and discomfort down my left leg when standing for periods of time and participating in various sports. Strength work , rest etc didn’t lead to any relief. Going through the diagnosis process with Professor Ishaque was super informative and eloquently explained what was going on.”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Ishaque to anyone. A first class experience from beginning to end.”

I found his excellent website comprehensive, full of information and advice. I was particularly struck by his caring approach to his patients, so didn’t hesitate to book an appointment.     My first consultation was unexpectedly warm and welcoming. I quickly forgot my nerves and felt more at ease. ”

“After a fall in February this year I suffered the onset of extreme back and leg pain. I saw my GP who diagnosed sciatica and prescribed strong painkillers. The thought of taking painkillers for any length of time was quite daunting plus with the immobility  I was unable to lead a normal active life.”

“I have nothing but praise for Professor Ishaque and his fantastic team given my experiences over the past 3 years and would have no hesitation in recommending him if you are suffering from any kind of lower back, or leg pain.”

Gary Stevens

“Having suffered with lower back pain since my early 20's (I am now 59), which was initially sustained though a football injury and it usually recurred on average every 5 to 7 years. I have always found relief through physiotherapy until I had a recurrence on my lower left had side in 2019 when physio didn't resolve it and I was referred to Professor Ishaque.”

“Many thanks to you and your wonderful team !”

Claire Bowring

“I would like to thank Professor Ishaque for fixing my back and giving me back my life and my confidence. He has an amazing team around him, and I must thank his lovely Assistant Linda too for all her support and patience too, especially with sorting out administrative issues. I would have no hesitation recommending Professor Ishaque, who is not only an expert in his field, but also affable and puts you at complete ease throughout the process.”

“His personable manner put me at ease immediately in what might have been an anxious and stressful situation.”

Margaret Carpenter

February 2022

“For more than  a year  I suffered with extreme  'burning' pain in my lower back, left buttock and leg.  Many physiotherapy sessions and acupuncture made no difference and an MRI scan detected something more unusual at the base of my spine. I had my first consultation with Professor Ishaque in early December 2021. His personable manner put me at ease immediately in what might have been an anxious and stressful situation.”

“He has been able to help me and get me back on my feet and back to work and most importantly out of pain and off pain medication”

Karen Paskin

February 2022

“I am so glad he was recommended to me and I would 100% recommend him to anyone suffering with back pain, I have total trust in him and his advice and I am confident that if I need him again in the future that I am in safe hands.”

“I have just returned from a trip to Venice, where mum ( 85 this week ) came to see my new home there and we walked around the city — yes, she needs to get her muscles fully fit but I would say 5000 steps pain free to be a miraculous result!! She is a new woman!! So, a huge, huge THANKYOU Professor, from Mum and l;  thank goodness we have professionals like Dr Bahia and yourself who treat older people with the respect they so deserve and with whom we can connect with to obtain answers!”
