I have seen Mr Zebian multiple times over the last year and he has carried out surgery on my spine, as I had a spinal fluid leak causing my brain to sag. He is fantastic and very knowledgeable in his field. He helped provide clarity and a reason as to why I had been feeling so poorly for so long. He helped guide me through exactly what I needed to do, to ultimately lead to the stage where he could operate and fix the problem. I saw him privately at Kings College Hospital and also other locations in London. He provided both excellent and understandable explanations and also a great level of customer care. My problem is now fixed and I’ve had no symptoms since. I highly recommend him.

I was treated very well. Fire alarm went which caused a bit more of a wait. Overall a good experience.
