Mr Alireza Shoakazemi

The most amazing professional man on every single level

The kindest, most thoughtful and capable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He listens and collaborates - makes you feel heard. I could not have chosen a better surgeon.

After a warning from the neurosurgeon & oncologist who had been monitoring the regrowth of my meningioma in September 2023 that it required surgery & as it was a second operation it was at high risk of stroke, bleeding, bone infection, going through old scar tissue, the tumour was pressing against a large vein. My daughter suggested I sought a second opinion, we chose Mr Shoakazemi who also specialises in my type of brain tumour.  He confirmed…the risks were very high indeed, the brain tumour had grown too big for fractionated radiotherapy and surgery through the old wound of some 20 + years ago was the only option. We found Mr Shoakazemi to be extremely approachable, professional, calm, warm & informative.  I feel incredibly lucky to have had the faith on a date said to be the unluckiest day in the yearly calendar …Friday 13th October to undergo surgery with such a gifted neurosurgeon. I am (thankfully to Mr Shoakazemi) walking straight, talking straight & feeling fully blessed.

I visited Dr Shoakazemi for a skull base meningioma. He was extremely understanding of my anxiety and worries, and explained the route forward. I followed up with an email of worries, and he called me back ASAP and helped calm my nerves. I would not hesitate to recommend him for similar needs.
