Dr Fahad Farooq is a Neurology Registrar with international clinical and academic experience across Ireland, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan — and a Fellow of the European Board of Neurology (FEBN), one of the highest neurology qualifications awarded by the European Academy of Neurology.
He currently serves as a Neurology Registrar in Ireland and has previously worked as a specialist neurologist in Saudi Arabia and as a consultant in emergency neurology in Pakistan. His clinical background extends beyond neurology — encompassing gastroenterology, transplant hepatology and internal medicine — giving him a broad medical perspective that informs his neurological assessments.
Dr Farooq holds additional specialist qualifications in transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and neuroradiology, placing him at the intersection of clinical neurology and advanced diagnostics and intervention. He has published several peer-reviewed research articles and is actively involved in medical education — regularly mentoring junior doctors and medical students.
He consults in English, Arabic, Urdu and Punjabi — making him one of the very few neurologists in Ireland accessible to Arabic-speaking, Pakistani and South Asian patients in their first language.
What he offers — online:
• Neurology second opinions — reviewing neurology reports, MRI findings, EEG reports and treatment recommendations
• Epilepsy management — assessment, medication review and seizure management advice
• Stroke assessment and secondary prevention — understanding stroke diagnosis, risk factor management and rehabilitation guidance
• Headache and migraine — assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning
• Neurodegenerative condition guidance — Parkinson's disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis — understanding diagnosis and what to expect
• Neuroimaging interpretation — explaining MRI brain and spine reports, CT findings and what they mean clinically
• Neurophysiology queries — understanding EEG, nerve conduction study and EMG results
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) — pre-assessment consultation and patient education for rTMS treatment
• Movement disorders — tremor, gait problems, coordination difficulties
• Peripheral neuropathy — numbness, tingling, weakness — assessment and management guidance
• Complex headache and facial pain
What to expect from your consultation: Dr Farooq will take a full neurological history and review any reports, imaging results, EEG reports or neurology letters you share in advance. He will provide a clear clinical explanation of your neurological presentation, explain what investigations mean in plain language, and advise on next steps — whether that is understanding your current management, seeking a second opinion, or preparing questions for your in-person neurology team. At the end of the consultation you will receive a written summary.
Important note: Online neurology consultations cannot replace in-person neurological examination or emergency care. Dr Farooq cannot review imaging or EEG traces directly, prescribe controlled medications or make decisions requiring in-person assessment. If you are experiencing a neurological emergency — sudden severe headache, loss of consciousness, acute weakness or speech disturbance — call 999 or 112 immediately.
Who this consultation is for: This consultation is suitable for patients who have received a neurology diagnosis and want help understanding what it means — patients waiting for an in-person neurology appointment who need interim guidance — patients who want a second opinion on a neurological diagnosis or treatment plan — and patients with ongoing neurological conditions such as epilepsy, migraine or Parkinson's who need a medication review or management discussion. It is also suited to Arabic-speaking, Pakistani and South Asian patients who want a neurological consultation in their first language.
His approach: Dr Farooq combines the clinical depth of a FEBN-qualified neurologist with a genuine commitment to patient education. He believes patients with neurological conditions — which are often complex, chronic and anxiety-provoking — deserve clear, unhurried explanations and the opportunity to ask every question they have. His multilingual capability means he can deliver this clarity to patients in the language they think and feel in.
