I didn’t expect to be as uncomfortable as I was however I was just one of these bodies that took a little longer to adapt. Dr Shilton was very attentive with a lovely bedside manner. I am so so very grateful to have him fix my long term pain that I have had for more than 15 years that no other specialist could fix. Thank you so so much.

I felt very well informed prior to procedure. This included what to expect with the procedure itself and then post operative instructions. Hamish was very kind in his approach and his assistant Chyna also very helpful and kind in all interactions
