It’s been almost three months since my surgery; the wound has healed beautifully and the scar is remarkably neat — almost a straight line. Professor Heidari is something of a perfectionist.
From my very first consultation, Professor Heidari demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, expertise and genuine compassion. He takes the time to listen carefully and ensures that you feel fully informed before making any decisions.
He carefully reviewed my MRI results and clearly explained my diagnosis and the treatment plan. He took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. His calm, friendly manner made the consultation very comfortable.
Professor Heidari was very thorough and referred me on so I can get the right treatment. Excellent service.
Very informative and explanatory. Thank you.
A follow-up consult to check in after eight weeks post-surgery. Found Professor Heidari’s depth of detail for process to date and going forward incredibly helpful and insightful.
Exceptional.
Very efficient, professional and friendly. Very clear explanations of problems and solutions.
Prof. Heidari is fantastic. He is both competent and compassionate, and I could not have been better looked after by both him and his assistant Nicci. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of his expertise.
If it wasn’t for Professor Heidari and his outstanding secretary I wouldn’t be here. He takes time, care and empathy at every appointment. He saved me — thank you Professor Heidari and Nicci.

Professor Heidari has been a true professional from start to finish. I came under his care following an infection from a previous surgery by another consultant and the difference in care I received amazed me. His communication was brilliant, he and his team are clearly top of their field. Thank you.
Prof. Heidari was amazing. I was slightly dubious going into the initial consultation as I had seen people with surgery be impacted in so many other aspects — but we spoke through options and picked the best one for me.
Prof. Heidari is fantastic. He is both competent and compassionate, and I could not have been better looked after by both him and his assistant Nicci.
