Patient testimonials

What patients say

Thank-you letters received from patients over the course of his career.

  • I am writing to express sincere thanks for the highly professional and skilful manner in which you have treated my spinal complications recently. After an extensive period of monitoring by other professionals and increasing complications of my condition, you acted promptly and decisively when presented with my case. Your explanations of the medical context and likely scenarios for the future were candid but also highly supportive and reassuring to both me and my wife. You moved extremely rapidly to emergency surgery, which at present is looking to be very successful. Without doubt, your calm, knowledgeable and engaging manner throughout my stay in hospital significantly contributed to my own morale and that of my wife. We both thank you most sincerely for your high levels of professional and personal skill, as demonstrated within my diagnosis, treatment and aftercare, and also that of your supporting spinal team. I look forward to meeting you again at my 3 monthly review.

  • My wife and I wish to convey our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the excellent care and attention I received on my recent admission for spinal surgery in March. Special thanks are sent to Mr Nitulescu, Mr Fogg, the staff of the Scanning Unit and Teal Orthopaedic ward where I was a patient for 19 days. We are full of praise for the professionalism of all concerned with my care. My admission and surgery was a very frightening experience especially at age 89, but I give God thanks and praise for all the professionals involved. I was admitted to hospital in a wheelchair but now able to walk with one stick. Do convey my thanks to all mentioned above. The NHS must be praised for the wonderful work they are doing.
