Dr. Salman Falak, consultant neurosurgeon
Dr. Salman Falak completed his MBBS at Army Medical College and his MS in Neurosurgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Lahore, where he later worked as Senior Registrar. His practice is built around the spine: slipped disc, sciatica, spinal fractures and instability, treated with the smallest approach that still does the job properly. He also operates on brain and pituitary tumours and on trigeminal neuralgia, and he manages stroke, epilepsy and other neurological conditions at his OPDs. He sees patients at Life Hospital in Bahria Town, which has the most OPD days, and at Sharif Medical City Hospital in Jati Umra, where the OPDs are fewer. Surgery is done at Omer Hospital in Johar Town, at Life Hospital and at Sharif Medical City Hospital.
Patients come to him from across Punjab, so the practice is set up for it. Reports go on WhatsApp first, a video consultation follows, and the visit to Lahore is planned only when the plan is clear.
Three OPD cities, one surgeon.

Questions patients ask
How do I book an appointment with Dr. Salman Falak?
Send a WhatsApp message to 0331 5555335 with your name, city and a short note of the problem, or call the same number. You will be told the next available OPD day in Lahore, Gujranwala or Phool Nagar, or offered a video consultation if you live far away.
Which hospital does Dr. Salman Falak sit at in Lahore?
He holds OPDs at Life Hospital in Bahria Town and at Sharif Medical City Hospital in Jati Umra, off Raiwind Road. Life Hospital has the most OPD days and the OPDs at Sharif are fewer, so confirm the day and time on WhatsApp before you travel. Surgery is done at Omer Hospital in Johar Town, at Life Hospital and at Sharif Medical City Hospital.
Does he see patients outside Lahore?
Yes. There is a Friday evening OPD at Gujranwala Medical Complex on G.T. Road and a Tuesday OPD in Phool Nagar on Multan Road. Patients further away usually start with a video consultation and travel once a plan is agreed.
Do I need an MRI before the consultation?
Bring whatever you already have. For disc and nerve problems an MRI is usually the test that answers the question, and if you send your reports on WhatsApp first you will be told whether anything else is needed, so one visit is enough.
Is surgery always needed for back pain?
No. Most back pain settles with rest, medicine and physiotherapy, and Dr. Salman Falak says so when that is the case. Surgery is discussed when a nerve is being pressed and the pain, numbness or weakness does not settle, or when there is a loss of bladder or bowel control.
Send your MRI. Get a clear answer before you travel.
WhatsApp your reports and your city, and you will be told whether surgery is likely, which tests to bring, and which OPD is nearest to you.
