I was referred to Mr. Akmal following continued spinal issues. I had previously had a fusion in my neck (C5/6) about 15 years ago and was now suffering again. Over more than 9 months, my level of pain and disability had increased to an unbearable level. I now live in Malta and the surgeons here could not help as the situation was too complex due to the previous operation. There were issue both above and below the original fusion. Mr. Akmal and the team at the London Spine Clinic were amazing and the level of care was very high. Following the initial consultations, The continual flow of information, both before and after the operation was superb. I felt very confident that I was in good hands. This was proved to be correct and Mr. Akmal performed a double operation in one process. He fitted a prosthetic disc above the original fusion and performed another fusion directly below. The operation was done in one day and the pain relief was immediate. The level of follow up support was second to none and the team were caring and attentive. Dr. Lok was very good and reassuring, being happy to see or talk to me whenever I needed. Some weeks later, any residual pain is just about gone, and I am back to living a normal life again. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for Mr. Akmal and his team and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is in need of spinal care. Thank you!

Having suffered very bad sciatica for more than 3 months, I went along to the London Spine Unit, and from the diagnosis all the way through to the operation, the treatment I received was excellent.I really do highly recommend the London Spine Unit for any spine related problems. 5 stars.

If you have any anxiety over back surgery of any shape or form dispel all of it now because you’re in the right hands with Mr Mo Akmal, I had massive degeneration in my lower back he put six screws and 1 discs into my back
and two months later I’m completely fine. He takes his work very seriously and that is what impressed me the most

I would give 5 stars and highly recommend Mr. Mo Akmal of the London Spine Unit at Harley Street. Mr Akmal is an amazing surgeon who really took time to understand my symptoms and gave sensible advice to help me. I wish I had found him years ago but I'm so pleased that he is here, if I ever need him again.

At the consultation, he took time to go over the diagnosis clearly and we discussed the treatments options carefully. The surgery itself went smoothly. I was really impressed that they could do such complicated surgery as a day case. My anaesthetic was great as I felt no nausea or pain at all afterwards. I was called the day after the surgery to make sure everything was ok.
Overall, my experience was wonderful and reassuring from start to finish but most importantly, I am very grateful to Mr Akmal for his expertise in giving me some quality of life back. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his surgical team.

Look no further for a spine specialist.
Whilst shadowing Dr Akmal and the rest of the team in the hospital
I couldn’t help but notice the exceptional care him and all the staff provided.
Dr Akmal is outstanding at what he does with years of experience and most importantly I could tell he genuinely had his patients best interest at heart.
His care, honesty and expertise will keep you or your loved ones in safe hands.
I witnessed so many patients (post surgery) that were extremely pleased with their improved quality of life and I saw many patients that were in luck that they came to him in time as they weren’t taken seriously elsewhere.
He is truly a life saver and a remarkable role model to the profession.
I would a 100% recommend him to anyone and will be doing so to all my friends and family.

I was lucky enough to spend my work experience at the Harley Street clinic, and it was sensational to see everything they do. Everyone on the team works so hard to provide such a high level of care for every single one of the patients that walk through the door. From what I saw at the clinic, they offer an enormous amount of support because they genuinely care about everyone's well-being. I feel privileged to have seen the doctors there perform surgeries, and take it from me when I say we should all appreciate the fantastic work they do.

Fabulous service. Mr Akmal truly cares about his patients and how he can improve their quality of life. I would recommend him to anyone with any kind of spinal issue.

I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis after experiencing increasing pain in both legs. An MRI and consultation carried out at short notice confirmed this.

Mr Akmal recommended that a spacer should be inserted in my lower back to correct the problem and release the nerves from the narrowing caused by stenosis.

The operation was conducted very professionally and without pain. After the first two weeks the pain started to subside as expected. After 4 weeks I was completely back to normal.

The result is exceptionally good and I feel renewed, with no pain whatsoever and a regained posture, ready to resume a normal life.

I cannot recommend The London Spine Unit highly enough. They are medical magicians!

My mother was in absolute agony for more than 3 months due to sciatica. It just came out of nowhere and took her out of action. From working full time she went straight to being bed bound and unable to carry out simplest of actions.The pain was 9/10 and she was bed bound for those three months. Multiple trips to A&E and GP and they wouldn't class it as an emergency therefore they wouldn't do anything about it other than upgrading the painkillers which did next to nothing for my mother. I couldn't bear to watch my mother sleeping on A&E bench in pain for 7 hours, just to be told by doctors that she wouldn't be kept in. I remember her joining her hands and begging the doctors to stop the pain which broke my heart. I then started doing research on google and London spine unit came up with Dr Mo AKMAL's profile and review.

First meeting with Dr AKMAL was via ZOOM as my mother was bed bound. Dr AKMAL spoke to me and my mom and told us that this is nothing to worry about and that the pain would be 100% gone.Dr AKMAL assured us to visit the hospital so he could physically inspect my mother and give us the best solution. One trip to the london spine unit and Dr AKMAL advised us that the best solution would be to carry out Minimally invasive disectomy. Dr AKMAL advised that due to my mother being bed bound for a while, steroid injection might not give the result that my mother wishes. Dr AKMAL was very confident and showed us some videos from other patients who had gone through the same ordeal. The biggest thing i noticed between before and after was the smile on the patients face. Dr AKMAL was constantly assuring my mother throughout the meeting that he would take care of her pain and gave her 100% confidence that the result would be delivered.He promised her that she would be walking pain free the same day after the operation.

Before the operation Dr GURUNG was consulted multiple times and he also was very helpful.

Right after the surgery, as Dr AKMAL promised, my mother was walking and the biggest thing was that the pain was gone. My mother had forgotten to smile for three months and there i saw her smiling again. Dr AKMAL and Dr GURUNG gave us brilliant aftercare and informed us that just give them a ring if there was any issue. Its been several weeks now and my mother is heading towards complete recovery without any issues. The pain is completely gone and anyone who is reading this going through the same horrible sciatica pain you must come and see Dr AKMAL. Thank you Dr AKMAL and your whole team for helping my mom achieve this pain free life.

My 81 year old mother who has retired in Ghana was suffering from severe lower back pain so a local surgeon put her through discectomy with hardware (spine screws). The procedure was essentially botched, with one screw breaching her spinal canal resulting in extreme pain; unable to walk, pins and needles and numbness in the left leg. The hardware subsequently had become infected and loosened as a result. Her life after this surgery was the worse she has ever experienced in all her life. She had no doubt that she was eventually to die from the infection and pain. Fortunately, through diligent search, we found Mr Akmal and his team at The UK Spine Centre. She had a zoom consultation and with a ready MRI and CT scan, Mr Akmal knew exactly how to have her back to fitness and a better quality of life. She travelled to England on 26 March 2022 and had the surgery on 11 April 2022. It was a day-case. It lasted no more than 1 hour 30 minutes. She was on my feet within 2 hours pain free - still pain free 5 weeks on! To her this is simply a miracle ! She is grateful to Jehovah God for Mr Akmal and his team - thoroughly professional bunch at the top of their game. No one deserves to suffer the pain she experienced for two years. She seriously recommends Mr Akmal and his team for anything SPINE!

From the first phone call, the team at London Spine have been amazing. I had severe symptoms following an L4/L5 disc injury from playing sports and had complete foot drop. Mr Akmal and his team treated the situation incredibly sensitively, as I had risk of permanent damage. The whole process was so quick, from initial consultation to operation was about 96 hours. On the day of the operation, the nurses couldn’t have been more helpful, attentive and calming. The surgery was flawless, with absolutely zero pain from the operation following. I am now 8 weeks from a bi-lateral discectomy and dynamic stabilisation procedure and have regained full use of my leg and toes, with a complete range of motion also. Mr Akmal’s aftercare has been first class, with regular calls from his team in the 2 weeks following the surgery, to the final consultation and discharge.

Thanks so much for giving me my life back

I had a massive bulging disk on my back compressing my nerve for three years. It caused me excruciating pain and almost left me disabled. I was on both crutches and completely homebound due to the severity of pain and mobility limitations.

I had my lumber surgery two weeks ago and walked out of hospital within a few hours pain free on my right leg that was almost paralysing prior to surgery. The disk was shaved off releasing the nerve completely.

Two days after surgery I had excruciating pain on my head that is unexplained as I had CT scan and MRI which were all fine. Dr Akmal has suggested it could be from the anaesthetic.

I am extremely grateful to Dr Akmal and his very welcoming and cari g team. I would highly recommend his clinic as I have had excellent recovery.

After having a poor and very slow experiance in glasgow . I contacted Mr mo Amlam . Who is a true gentleman, great listener and paitent . We transfered my scans and treatments from glasgow to harley street . Mr Aklams p.a arranged a quick zoom to start our contact .I then went down for a meeting and examination and what should have been a spec scan .only to be told of a UK shortage . So 4 weeks later the scan took place in wellington hospital . Before I traveled back to glasgow. 5 days later I got a call to book me in to 19 harley street for a l3 and l4 debridement and stabilisation. The opp took place on 24th March. 2hours I was out walking 4 hours later . My pain in back groin and foot was all gone .thanks to Mr aklam . Top of his craft but more importantly pouts his patients first .he really wants to help you get better. Thank you so much Mr Robert harvey

I can't thank Mr Akmal and team at the London Spine Unit enough for their help. I had a herniated disc in my back which was causing pain and restrictions. Compared to other offers of surgery (e.g. several nights in hospital), the day surgery and minimally invasive procedure were hugely appealing. I am now 3 weeks post surgery, have no pain and am recovering incredibly quickly if I compare myself to friends who have had a similar procedure. it was truly remarkable, straightforward and the team were kind, friendly and always helpful. very highly recommended!

Great service and painless procedure. Definitely alleviated the pain

From diagnosis to treatment and post operational care, the London Spine Unit were very courteous, caring, efficient and generally first class in all departments of their clinic.

My ailments pre operation have been successfully eradicated and I no longer suffer from back and nerve pain. I can also walk without stooping.

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone with back problems to seek their advice and treatment if required.

My interaction with Ms Rola Shamlakh was v educative. The way she explained the logic behind the basic exercises she taught me has really helped me to internalise those. Nobody I had consulted for years ( I suffer from arthritis of knees) had done like her before. She was wonderful.
Overall it was a v fruitful session. I wish I cud have more such sessions with her but had to return to my country. But hope to be back soon to consult her more…..

In early 2021 my back pain which had long troubled me became acute and it became clear that I urgently needed help .A friend whose father had been similarly afflicted recommended Mo Akmal of the London Spine unit to help me . After a 'phone consultation he immediately summoned me to London for an MRI which resulted in immediate surgery .
His very professional team which included a very able assistant , Dr. Lok , operated and in short order , having been crippled ,in great pain and almost unable to walk , I emerged from the procedure pain free . I am aware that this was a very intricate and delicate procedure which had been fully explained to me from the outset.
Full supervised recovery took place over the ensuing six months and I am now very physically active and able to take part in all the things that had been previously impossible.

Due to oesterprosis last year I ended up with 8 spinal fractures, as the NHS failed to investigate my back pain, I had no choice but to refer myself to a private consultation at the Harley St spinal Clinic. I was under Dr Mo Akmal who arranged Mris and from here he found out I had 8 fractures, he suggested a procedure called balloon kyphoplasty, this was done in October 2021.
The procedure itself went well and the care Harley st and Dr Akmals team gave me was exceptionall.
Dr Akmal is one of the best surgeon s we read his reviews on Trust pilot before we made the initial appointment, he is a very kind and caring person who is professional as well as genuinely caring about you and your health problems.
Its 3 months after my surgery and I am not taking any painkillers, I still have a little way to go as healing can take a few months but I'm hopeful my back will be back to as normal as it can be..
I am still under review under Dr Akmal so this gives me reassurance that until I'm not fully fixed he will be looking after me.

My experience at the London Spine Unit was excellent. Referred by a friend who had previously had a back operation and was very satisfied. All my lower back and leg pain gone and was up and walking two hours after procedure. Would highly recommend thank you Mr Akmal and Dr Lock 😊
