- I would highly recommend this doctor.
- I was referred to Mr. Barazi due to spinal cord compression resulting from my professional duties as a dentist. I was experiencing numbness in my lower limbs and was concerned that impairment of my hands and fingers might prevent me from continuing my work. Upon meeting Mr. Barazi, I immediately felt at ease. His approachable manner, calm demeanor, and confidence reassured me that I was in the hands of an exemplary surgeon for my cervical myelopathy.
- Mr Barazi is a very genuine, caring professional, who empathises excellently with patients and family throughout the process of diagnosis and surgery.
- The first time I met Mr Barazi I knew I was in safe hands. He filled me with confidence at the most frightening time of my life. He took the time to explain everything about my meningioma and the surgery I would require. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was fantastic!
