Came from Multan for a second opinion on my cervical disc problem. Dr. Wasif's assessment was thorough, explained all options clearly including surgery vs conservative management. He was honest that surgery was not immediately needed. Really appreciated the transparency.
My husband had a brain aneurysm clipping at BVH with Dr. Wasif. The team was outstanding, especially the follow-up care. He is recovering beautifully, alhamdulillah. May Allah give long life and success to Dr. Wasif and his team. Ameen.
Question: My MRI shows L4-L5 disc bulge with nerve compression. Is this always needing surgery? I have leg pain for 4 months. Can I see Dr. Wasif for this?
