For information only — not medical advice. The content on this page is patient education to help you understand a condition or treatment.

Before your appointment
Bring any imaging (MRI, X-ray, CT) on disc or arrange secure transfer in advance through Mr Madi's secretary.
Make a short timeline of your symptoms — when they started, what makes them better or worse, and what treatments you have tried.
List your current medications and any allergies.
Write down the three most important questions you would like answered.
What to expect
A new consultation typically lasts 30–45 minutes and includes a full history, examination and review of your imaging.
Mr Madi will explain your diagnosis in plain English and discuss all reasonable options — including non-surgical care.
You will receive a written summary letter to you and your GP within a few days.
