MSK Clinic Lancashire - My MSK - Burnley

Steve McHugh

After suffering with golfer’s elbow for 7 months and being incorrectly diagnosed on the NHS together with the long waiting times, I visited Doctor Akhtar on a couple of occasions. He was very professional, putting me at ease and together with the guided ultra-scan machine got to the root cause of the problem. The prolotherapy treatment plus a steroid injection was successful and following the recommended rest will be back playing golf soon. I would certainly recommend Dr Akhtar and his MSK clinic

Finally somebody who actually listened to me and had the equipment to investigate my problem there and then. Reasonably priced and money well spent as I now have a proper report from somebody who is an expert in this field. The whole team were extremely kind and professional from the moment I made my first enquiry. Very happy to recommend.

Due to the long wait on the NHS and after suffering many weeks of pain I decided to pay private for assessment and steroid injection to my cervical spine.
I am so pleased I came across my MSK Burnley. Lovely clinic nice ambiance.
Dr Akhtar is a true professional and a credit to his profession.
He is very approachable and went through my MRI scan results with me highlighting where the issues are.
He fully explained the procedure, gave me time to ask questions he even showed me on a dummy what he was going to do.
The procedure was very though and apart and from a mild discomfort from the local injection I did not feel the steroid injection.
Unfortunately for me this has not worked but he did say that it might not. He has sent a copy of my report to my GP and myself.
Following our conversation this morning he has sent me further details of other treatment options which I will discuss with the surgeon next week.
If you are thinking of going private for this type of treatment please look on there website, check out the reviews, you will not be disappointed with the care and treatment you receive.
I would have no hesitation in using this clinic again and will certainly be in touch for me or my family if treatments needed in the future.
Thank you Dr Akthar and team for your kindness professionalism and expertise.

Received a fantastic service from Dr Akhtar, he was so friendly, very professional and explained every step of the way. Viewed the ultrasound and there was never any pressure to get anything done. I would definitely go back again if ever I need to. Lovely experience. L Williams

Quite franky this service potentially has saved my wife Louise life ! Having gone to see the doctor for the swelling and pain behind the left knee of my wife Louise which we thought may be a bakers cyst. Upon examination it turned out to far more troubesome.

This was confirmed in the hospital blood test result of the D-Dimer of 5000 which Louise recieved several hours later from the hospital urgent care centre as Dr Akhtar had written an urgent letter for Louise to take straight after her first consultation.
Dr Akhtar is quite clearly not only a very competent professional given his intial diagnosis at the first appointment of Louise of a potential blood clot (dvt)of the left leg of Louise he is also a very considerate & conscientious doctor who quite clearly puts the best interests of his patients above anything else. Thankyou Dr Akhtar you are a credit to yourself and your family and when the blood clot treatment has finished we will be back for further advice and treatment for the original problem.
In the meantime we would highly recommend your service. Thanks again from Louise & Paul

I visited the MyMSK clinic in Burnley and was seen by Dt Aktar who was very professional. He scanned both shoulders and diagnosed the cause of my pain. I had an ultrasound guided steroid injection into my left shoulder which has enabled me to be pain free for the first time in months. He advised exercises specific for my injury which I am hoping will alleviate my problems in the long term. I would definitely recommend this clinic, I would like to thank Dr Aktar for his treatment.

A Very nice professional looking clinic, nice customer service but for me that was about it. Expensive but not that good am afraid. If you've got a trapped nerve or back/neck pain go somewhere else as its unlikely to get sorted here. I've tried afew around this area over the years and this place is the worst. Try Nick in Barnoldswick or the Clinic on St James street if you want results and pay 40% the price your going to get charged here.

Edit- well not keeping your patient records in order is on you, I will not be contacting you as after I visited you I had to go elsewhere as my problem persisted. The issue could not be resolved by you as you lack the skill level to deal with it am afraid. The ultrasound sounds great but not required by someone with a good skill level. And again the price your paying here is 60% higher then elsewhere where your problem will be delt with in 1 visit. That's not competitive, that's taking advantage of people who are in pain.
The Clinic is nice and neat and tidy, and looks very professional, and am sure improvements can be made to your treatments, services and prices in the future.
All the best King Akhtar,

Was an absolute pleasure to meet Dr Amir Akhtar today, really friendly, informative and helpful. Scanned my shoulder under ultrasound and fully explained where my pain issues maybe stemming from. Had an ultrasound guided injection into said area and sent me some useful physio exercises so hopefully this well help. Thank you again
