Dr Almahdi was charming. He seemed to know what the problem was on first visit after looking at MRI. The injection seems to have really helped me so far. I really hope if the pain comes back - he can repeat his magic again.

Dr Basil Almahdi is one of my most trusted colleagues. He is one of the best pain specialists I know, and I have great confidence in the kind, expert and level-headed care he gives to patients with long-term pain. I would gladly ask him to look after close family members who have pain problems, and on occasion I ask his opinion on the care of my own patients, or compare notes on the best way to carry out pain management procedures. A good colleague, and a doctor’s doctor.
