EXPERTISE & APPROACH
Precision surgery, grounded in evidence and guided by what is right for you.
Non-Operative Management
Not every spinal condition requires surgery, and Dr Sherief’s approach begins with a thorough assessment of all conservative options. He offers comprehensive spinal diagnosis, image-guided spinal injections, rehabilitation planning in collaboration with the UPANDRUNNING sports medicine, physiotherapy team, spinal osteoporosis management, and pain management strategies, including referral for multidisciplinary support where appropriate.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr Sherief has a specialist interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques, approaches that achieve the same clinical goals as traditional open surgery with smaller incisions, reduced tissue disruption, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. Where clinically appropriate, minimally invasive approaches are his preferred route.
Revision Spinal Surgery
Dr Sherief has established a particular reputation for managing complex revision cases, patients who have undergone previous spinal surgery and are experiencing recurrent or persistent symptoms. These cases require exceptional surgical judgement and a thorough understanding of altered anatomy. If you have had previous spinal surgery and are still not right, this is worth a consultation.
Second Opinion
Dr Sherief welcomes patients seeking a second opinion before committing to spinal surgery. A clear, honest assessment of your imaging, your symptoms, and your options, with no pressure in either direction.
