My most recent visit was a post-surgery appointment. The purpose was to assess my progress and to provide advice and , in my case, a lot of reassurance that I will make a full recovery. Everything went well. Mr. Ibrahim was very factual and reassuring. I left the appointment feeling less stressed, confident that I will return to my being very active. My overall experience under Mr.Ibrahim's care has been positively memorable. He is very professional, calm, friendly and knowledgable. His support team is excellent! Amira was my contact. She was friendly, professional and pretty much perfect. She moved heaven and earth to ensure everything was in place pre and post - surgery. Dealing with Mr. Ibrahim and Amira has been an absolute pleasure.

The admission process at the Holly was pleasant and professional, a clear description of the procedure was given by Mr Abrahim before getting me signed in and prepped. Another explanation before sedation followed by the procedure and a comfortable period in recovery.

Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and an experienced surgeon. He is very professional and accurate in carrying out the diagnoses. He listens attentively to any issues and concerns that you have. I have full confidence in his work and have had two spinal surgeries (Cervical & lumber cord/decompression) carried out by Mr. Ibrahim. I have had ongoing walking and balancing difficulties which went unnoticed for many years. When I first went to see Mr Ibrahim I was at a stage where my walking was being severely effected. Mr Ibrahim listened to my issues patiently and discussed my MRI reports thoroughly. He gave me detailed explanations to my questions and concerns clearly. I would therefore highly recommend Mr Ahmed Ibrahim (Consultant) to anyone who needs highly knowledgeable Spine Surgeon. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Ibrahim's Secretary, Ms Amira Ali for her polite and efficient service.

I had sciatica for 5 month, when i did mri scan, it's showing my L5 disc worn indicates degenerative disc disease at the L5-S1 level, where the disc loses height flexibility, so I decided to do injection, I thought it's going to work but unfortunately it's wasn't any difference. When I decided to talk to another consultant wich was Neurosurgeon Ahmed Ibrahim, I asked him can we repeat another injection, he checked my MRI scan ,he explained me why second injection not going to work,he answered all my questions,he gave me confidence, he is very professional and polite .Also his secretary Amira very professional and friendly. And all the staff in Devonshire Place very professional and very friendly. Thank you and i wishing you all the best . I'll definitely recommend to other people your best service.

Consultations and care from Mr. Ibrahim were excellent. At all times I felt engaged and informed, and I am also very pleased with the surgical outcomes. The only issue was that the initial attempt to perform the operation was abandoned because of an equipment failure.
