Mr Shoakazemi is a highly accomplished UK trained consultant neurosurgeon, recognised for his advanced expertise in cranial neurosurgery and his commitment to delivering exceptional, patient centred care. His training spans internationally across leading neurosurgical centres, including a prestigious North American fellowship and an elite skull base fellowship in Manchester, where he refined his skills in complex cranial and skull base procedures.

In addition to his cranial subspecialty work, he provides expert care for patients with degenerative spine disease, including back pain, disc disease, and related spinal conditions. His broad clinical capability ensures that patients receive comprehensive assessment and evidence based treatment tailored to their individual needs.
