Dr Farooq Maniyar

Dr Maniyar saw me as a favor to another neurologist who is his colleague at another hospital. I did my best to answer his questions and I will give him credit for asking for my version of events and not just going by a referral. There was a lot of information flying around and we agreed on many points but not all. He primarily said my problems were migraine based even if I did not have all of the symptoms of a mainstream one. I found this strange at first but do accept now it's a contributing factor. He did examine my occiput and found it was painful on the right. It still is and others think the occiput is the main culprit for the types of daily head pains and sensations I have. He did prescribe me a muscle relaxant and I was grateful to him for this. He had the patience of a saint when dealing with my gp, so again credit to him. He is a good neurologist and wrote a detailed clinical letter on his thoughts from seeing me.

Dr Maniyar took comprehensive notes of my medical history and the inner ear problem I have He conducted some tests , explaining what they were for , then gave his diagnosis and prescribed drugs to help with the headaches I have been getting daily. I was very happy with the service provided

friendly and interested. Asked plenty questions, feel that he really cared about my health

Dr Farooq was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease. He listened to everything I had to say and paid special attention to my worries. He explained that he thought I was suffering with migraines but sent me for further tests for peace of mind, which I’m incredibly grateful for. All the results came back clear which was a relief. He has given me advice on changes I could make to my life to help with my migraines and some of the vitamins I can take for it. I’m seeing him again in a few weeks time for a follow-up to see if these help and if not, there is a back up plan. I feel very lucky to have received this type care - really shows empathy for patients. Thank you.

Dr Maniyar is very knowledgeable and experienced, listening to the patients very carefully, very attentive.
