I have had an excellent experience over the last 11 years under the care of Dr Jonathan. I have had two surgeries for cervical disc problems and have made a great recovery. Dr Jonathan always makes time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. I can strongly recommend him for problems with the neck.

Explanation

10 years ago I presented to Dr Wasserberg with a benign nerve tumor (Schwannoma) deep inside the lower section of my spine. I was in constant pain affecting my quality of life and could not walk comfortably, let alone run. From the moment I met him, Dr Wasserberg was excellent. He took time to explain everything and ultimately performed very delicate (intra-dural) spinal surgery to perfection. I woke up pain free and have remained so to this day. I completed the Dubai Marathon two days ago and was reminded of how far I had come as a patient due to the care and skills of Dr Wasserberg. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
