About
Mr. Aziz Ahmad is a highly accomplished consultant spinal surgeon based in Colchester and Ipswich, UK. He has completed two spinal fellowships. Mr. Ahmad's philosophy centres around conservative treatment as the initial approach, reserving surgery as a last resort.
His expertise lies in minimally invasive spine surgery, and his practice offers a comprehensive range of spinal treatments designed to manage back and neck pain effectively. He uses minimally invasive techniques such as microdiscectomy, total disc replacement, minimally invasive fusion surgery, kyphoplasty, and vertebroplasty. He strongly advocates for early rehabilitation and rapid recovery to enhance surgical outcomes, with the majority of his patients returning home the day after surgery.
Mr. Ahmad's extensive training includes a spinal fellowship at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, followed by the prestigious Norman Capener Spinal Fellowship in Exeter, where he gained experience in minimally invasive spine and anterior lumbar surgery. He also completed a visiting fellowship in Munich, Germany, focusing on cutting-edge spinal surgery technology. He has visited renowned spinal centres of excellence, such as Stanmore in London and Copenhagen in Denmark, to gain exposure to the latest advancements in spinal navigation and robotics.
