Background Information

Mr Omar Mohamed holds the Royal College of Surgeons fellowship. His orthopaedic training took place in United Kingdom and Germany, with specialist and fellowship training in an AO reference centre. He has an active role in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Mr Mohamed has published in peer review journals as well as presenting at national and international meetings. His aim is to meet patient’s expectations of care and service.

Mr Mohamed specialises in advanced, minimally invasive spinal surgery, reducing patient recovery time, minimising scarring and lowering the risk of complications. With a track record of over 95% patient satisfaction and significantly above-average surgical outcomes. His focus is always on restoring mobility and quality of life.

Mr Mohamed's father was a surgeon, and growing up, saw firsthand the impact he had on people’s lives - not just through his technical skill, but through the trust and confidence he inspired in patients. That early exposure sparked his interest in medicine. 

As Mr Mohamed progressed through his training, he discovered that he was drawn to surgery because he genuinely loved the precision, problem-solving and immediate impact that surgery allows. Spinal surgery, in particular, combines technical complexity with the ability to dramatically improve quality of life - and that’s where Mr Mohamed found purpose.

In his free time, Mr Omar Mohamed competes in horse show jumping on a national and international level. He also enjoys kite surfing.
