“My daughter was 3 years old when she was diagnosed with scoliosis. Mr. Noordeen has suggested that she goes for a new technique that’s called (magnetic growth rods) which does NOT require a surgery every 6 months for lengthening the spine. My daughter is 8 months post operation now and she’s done 3 lengthenings already with no pain, no cuts. We thank God that Mr. Noordeen was our daughter’s consultant, and due to his wide knowledge he has advised us to go for the(magnetic growth rods)which saved our daughter lots of pain.” – A Patient Review (London Online)
