AI Review Summary

Patients state that Mr Bhaskar Thakur is professional. He listens to them and gives good care. His advice for each treatment is clear. Common themes are back pain and disc injuries.
The visit was smooth as usual: from the reception, to the waiting room and the visit itself, everything took around 15 minutes!
My visit to Mr. Thakur - facilitated by Ms. Paula Sumption - was excellent: technically very professional with an a lovely “bedside manner”. Recommend! Many thanks, David L.
Mr Thakur is a brilliant surgeon. He operated on my wife last year and her back issues have now gone away. A great bedside manner and explains everything to you. Recommended
Mr Thakur is a model professional Clear explanations and empathetic to any patient concerns Totally empathetic to any patient concerns Highly recommended
Dr Thakur is a lovely doctor ( if I am allowed to express it in those terms) he was polite and explained, in detail what I had damaged, my options for treatment and the possible consequences of some of them, which was refreshing. I have now had 2 appointments and I am progressing well, I am also scheduled for another visit in 6 months to make sure I am continuing in my recovery
This is the third time I have seen Mr Thakur about my sciatica and associated pain. His advice was always well informed and measured. He described any treatment options and their limitations. He has shown me my MRI scans and has explained clearly what they show but also what they don’t and hence the limitations of imaging. He always invites any questions that I may have; I never feel rushed during the consultation. He is also thorough in that he has arranged other scans and tests so that there is a complete picture of what is happening with me.
He listened carefully what my health issues were, and guided accordingly.
