Philosophy and approach

Navid is competent yet very compassionate and attentive with his patients and strongly believes that each patient is unique and the therapeutic options should therefore be specific to the person. He is an advocate for using latest technologies including spinal cord and peripheral stimulators and targeted delivery instruments to improve the quality of life of his patients along with other modalities such as radiofrequency treatments and medications in a multidisciplinary approach.

Keeping in mind the old saying from Confucius that “Though pain might be inevitable in life, suffering is optional”, Dr Amirabadi always dedicates his skills and abilities to minimise his patients’ sufferings and offer them the quality of life they deserve.
