“I arrived at Mr. Ishaque‘s office in a wheelchair after a year of severe pain, despite strong pain medication. Mr. Ishaque is a kind and caring man who inspires confidence from the outset, after tests confirmed the severity of my sciatica he arranged for me to have the appropriate treatment and I am delighted to say that my follow up appointment saw me walking unaided into his office. I cannot express how grateful I am to this amazing gentleman and his team.”

Derek Smith

“I was referred to Mr Ishaque, following a continuing issue with my back and right leg. I had a persistent, quite debilitating ache in my right calf and ankle. After a consultation with Mr Ishaque, it was determined that, due to a long standing scoliosis in the lower back, the pain was sciatica based. ”

“Mr Ishaque is clearly very knowledgeable in his field and I felt that is was in a very safe pair of hands.”

“Born in 1973 I have lived most of my life with lower leg and back pain until in 2009 I had my first MRI scan which revealed an abnormal spinal chord. Since 2009 I had been treated by a variety of Pain Management Treatments with marginal to no impact. ”

“When I met Mr Ishaque he immediately put me at ease and understood the pain I was going through.”

“In March 2015 I was suffering from sciatica and in a lot of pain.  I had several sessions with an osteopath but the symptoms were not improving.  My osteopath recommended Mr Ishaque because she thought steroid injections may help me.  When I met Mr Ishaque he immediately put me at ease and understood the pain I was going through.  My MRI scan showed a cyst and a disc bulge both pressing on the sciatic nerve and spondylolisthesis.  I was soon booked in to have my first injections followed by physiotherapy.”

Charles Hunter

April 2017

“After a very bad fall I was experiencing excruciating pain, night and day, in my back and down my left leg.  I had convinced myself I had damaged my spine irreparably and was facing the prospect of spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair, a truly terrifying thought.  I was taking the maximum amount of pain killers allowed, for many weeks, with little effect.   A friend recommended that I try to obtain a consultation with Mr Mushtaque Ishaque, which I was fortunately able to do.”

“Thank you for giving me back a bright future.”

Sue Lebedev

I had to sleep on the floor and my GP gave me pain killers and told me to wait 6 weeks. In 6 weeks’ time I was no better. ”

Rich Fox

“For some years now I have been suffering with my back, my lower discs. I saw Mr Ishaque at the Priory Hospital, Edgbaston. Mr Ishaque had worked wonders with a relative who had far more complex issues than myself, and from minute one I knew that I was in the hands of the right person.”

Julie Marshall

January 2017

“It is with pleasure that I write this.  I have suffered with back pain for a number of years and simply put up with it believing it was a normal stage of ageing.  However I found the pain levels increasing to the point where I found it difficult to move or even have a comfortable nights sleep.”

“Mr. Ishaque is not only an exemplary orthopaedic surgeon but also very kind and caring. He is approachable, very professional, patient, clear and concise in his explanations.”

Eileen Brown

January 2017

“My husband and I owe Mr. Ishaque and his Team a huge debt of gratitude for the treatment we have both received. Roger fell from the roof of a Combine Harvester some 15 years or so before another surgeon he was consulting for a hip problem, recommended that he see Mr. Ishaque as soon as possible. Roger was in a wheelchair and, quiet apart from the awful pain he suffered daily, he had become prone to huge ‘attacks’ of pain when he was literally unable to move or let anyone touch him. ”

“ I was in considerable pain and could not get through the day without taking prescribed pain killers. ”

Phil Dawson

November 2016

“I would like to take this this opportunity to thank Mr. Ishaque and his team for their professionalism and kindness when treating my condition. To begin with I was referred to Mr Ishaque from the BMI Priory shoulder specialists at the Priory, as they felt  the issue with pain down my right shoulder/arm was more likely to be caused by my neck and not my shoulder.”

“Your priority above anything else is to help your patients get better.”

Kerry & Adam Mitchell

“We are writing to show our sincere thanks and gratitude to Mr Ishaque and his wider team at the Priory hospital (Dr da Silva and the nurses)! Mr Ishaque I would like to thank you for fixing me!  At our initial meeting, your positivity, professionalism and kind approach (in a very stressful situation) put me at ease and gave me peace of mind that you were the best man for the job!  The operation you performed gave me my life and health back after several months of pain and suffering!”

“He explained everything in clear, easy to follow terminology and I was more than confident in his professional opinion.”

Richard Wood MIET MCMI
