Reviews
Professional, reassuring and kindness throughout. A thoroughly fantastic experience with great outcome
Very pleased with my surgery. Mr Gul has been superb. Explains things really well and is very reassuring. Hie staff and colleagues have been great too.
Mr Gul explained every step of my treatment plan clearly. He ensured I understood all options before proceeding. I felt very confident going forward, His staff also followed up to check on my recovery several times —amazing service!” He also has the best secretary Charlotte👍
Mr Gul is an absoloute gentleman who is very clear in his explanation. A true proffessional.
Mr gulf is a brilliant spinal surgeon. The outcome of the operation (stenosis) was exactly as he predicted: instant and total relief of compression of the nerve. Life changing. Fascinating post-op review explained the procedure and the extraordinary skill required. Could not have done more from start (weighing benefits and risks) to finish (long term prognosis). Best ever bedside manner!
This was an appointment after Surgery. Mr Gul was checking my back to see how I had healed.
I was seen more or less on time Mr Gull explained everything clearly and what i could expect in the future. He is always very professional
Mr Gul has done 2 spine surgeries for me. Both very successful. I would definitely recommend him very caring and understanding.
