Some commects from our patients.
Dear Khalid,
More than happy to help and I am happy to be identified.
“I repeatedly suffered from severe bouts of dizziness over several years. During them I could not walk down a corridor, or turn my head quickly and at their worst I simply had to lie on a bed for several days. The medication I was prescribed (Serc 16 I think) made no impact on it; the condition was affecting my ability to lecture, research, run field classes and keep fit. Finally I was referred to Mr. Bashir, who in a few minutes of manipulation completely cured me. Now if I feel the condition returning I repeat the simple exercises he gave me which I know will fix the problem”

Dear Khalid,
Khalid
I hope the following is OK – I couldn’t remember the name of the manoeuvres – not sure if there were different names – you can add the name in to my story!
Over the last 10 years I have suffered from three episodes of light headiness and vertigo, on the first two occasions I saw my GP who put it down to a viral condition which was self limiting. I suffered for about 7-10 days before I was better. When I suffered the third episode I went to see Mr. Bashir who treated me with his manoeuvres and was given written advice to repeat at home – I improved within 1-2 days. If I ever suffer again I will definitely go to see him again.

I had a fall from my mountain bike which I came off over the handlebars and landed on the pavement. I developed severe dizziness as a result of this accident and I was treated by Mr Bashir with the Epley’s manoeuvre in the A&E department. On discharge I was given a patient information leaflet and some home exercises to do which resolved my symptoms.

Thank you for providing vertigo assessment service which is quite unique in Emergency medicine in Wales. I have referred my numerous patients with vertigo and dizziness in the last 7 years. Most of them recovered quickly with various exercises. I am sure your website will provide useful information to both general public and doctors
Dr Lality Pandya Consultant Physician Bronglais Hospital Aberystwyth
I have personally observed patients with positional vertigo getting better after treatment in vertigo clinic in A&E at Bronglais Hospital. Mr Bashir has provided this excellent service. I will continue to refer our patients with vertigo to Mr Bashir's vertigo clinic.
Dr M Akram Specialty doctor in medicine Bronglais Hospital Aberystwyth
I suffered from intense and disabling episodes of vertigo for 2 months. I was prescribed serc-16 by a consultant physician colleague with out any benefit. I was treated by Mr Bashir and with in 2 days of Epley’s manoeuvre my symptoms completely resolved. If it recurs again, I would be able to treat myself at home with home exercise with pillow.
Mr T Lazim Consultant Surgeon
I developed dizziness, with room spinning every time I look up for one week. I was fearful of my heart condition, as previously I was very dizzy following a heart attack. I contacted Dr Bashir who kindly provided treatment (manipulation) and I felt better straight away, but it took 5 days to completely resolve my symptoms. I have learned the technique and if it recurs I feel I can treat at home.
Mr D Evans
I had two episodes of very bad vertigo in the last 6-7 years, both did not settle with medications from my own GP. With in one week of treatment by Dr Bashir they settled completely. I have now learned the technique and I feel I can do it myself at home if it recurs again.
Staff Nurse D Roberts
I live in Qatar in the Middle East and had two months of Vertigo including two severe attacks, when I came across Mr Bashir's clinic on the internet I decided to pay him a visit as my dizziness was effecting my life and work quite significantly
I received very professional treatment and advice including exercises to do at home. I felt much better the same day - and I felt a lot of my sharpness coming back. I did the exercises at home when I got back and now I feel that the problem is almost gone.
I would like to thank Mr Bashir for the time and care he showed me and recommend anyone who has this problem to contact Mr Bashir's clinic
