“Mr Ishaque was the most caring, compassionate and empathetic medical professional I have ever been fortunate enough to be treated by. He went above and beyond anything I have experienced with any other medical professional - he is clearly an expert in his field.”
“So, my journey ended today with no more consultations but and woe forbid that I do in the future have any further problems with my spine, the first call I will make is to Mr Ishaque.”

“My Journey with Consultant Spinal Surgeon Mr. Mushtaque A Ishaque .I had for some time felt an ache in my lower back which I put down to age and my sporting activities. Then in February 2019 on a weekend I had refereed a football match, it was cold wet and typical winter day, after the game my back was aching but nothing to cause me to be worried. The following day the weather changed, so I spent 3 hours sitting on a low seat leaning forward and back weeding the garden.”
“Mr Ishaque is a superb orthopaedic surgeon, I trusted him with my life, and he gave me my life back.”

“In late 2018 I started to experience severe back pain, which escalated rapidly to a pain severity so extreme I didn't know it was possible, and a loss of use of my right leg. I had the report from an NHS MRI scan which contained no diagnosis, and I was taking 5 different pain killers including oral morphine. I found Mr Ishaque through an online search and saw him very quickly. He examined me and did an x-ray and another MRI scan within days, followed by a diagnosis of a spinal cyst.”
“He put me at ease and the treatment I received was life-changing, thank you very much.”

“From the bottom of my heart I would like to sincerely thank Mr Ishaque and his team. In 2008 I underwent surgery for disc herniation. In May of this year 2019 I had really bad pain in my legs and buttocks due to another disc herniation. I could not put my own shoes on or dress without help.”
“The preparation for the operation was excellent with a high level of explanation and the care and attention by both Mr Ishaque and the anaesthetist Dr da Silva being very reassuring.”

“My surgery took place just three years ago following deterioration in my ability to walk or stand due to a spondylolisthesis at L4/L5. I am writing this testimonial having not only recovered following Mr Ishaque’s treatment but also being now both fitter and more flexible than for several years before my operation.”
“More importantly, I would like to sincerely thank you for what turned out to be a brilliant assessment back in November!”

“More importantly, I would like to sincerely thank you for what turned out to be a brilliant assessment back in November! You advised against further surgery and, as I was in very severe pain at the time, it felt inconceivable that the problem might resolve itself without surgery. Naturally I followed your advice and only three and a half months later you were proved to be absolutely correct. You then took the time to explain my condition in lay-mans terms so that I can try to avoid those things that are likely to create problems down the line.”
“I cannot thank Mr Ishaque and his team enough and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone who has chronic back pain.”

“I had been in pain for over 12 months, with broken sleep during that period, which had taken its toll on my quality of life. I had a consultation with Mr Ishaque in October 2018 and was given a number of injections into my spine in November 2018. The outcome has been amazing with the first real night sleep in ages, which was priceless; I cannot thank Mr Ishaque and his team enough and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone who has chronic back pain.”
“Mr Ishaque has been caring, professional and very thorough throughout.”

“After being told by other consultants that there was nothing that could be done to ease the symptoms of my trapped sciatic nerve, I met Mr Ishaque who told me that surgery was not an option but injections into my spine may relieve the pressure and make life more comfortable. I could not recommend him more highly, he has changed my life for the better.”
“I cannot praise the treatment given by Mr Ishaque and his team enough.”

“I cannot praise the treatment given by Mr Ishaque and his team enough. I had an accidental fall from a ladder last year then, several months later, I was shovelling snow when I further damaged my lower back. The pain was terrible and after several weeks of treatment by my GP with no improvement I consulted Mr Ishaque on the recommendation of a friend. ”

“I can’t thank Mr Ishaque and his extended team for the outstanding professional and personal care programme I received for an incredibly painful back condition. Mr Ishaque had an incredibly friendly bed side manner and his anaesthetist Dr Da Silva was equally as charming making me feel completely at ease throughout my treatment.”
