Mr Hitesh Dabasia

Mr Hitesh Dabasia provides a comprehensive service for
patients experiencing symptoms related to their spine. He is a dual UK and
internationally trained spinal surgeon with a full time NHS practice based
at Milton Keynes University Hospital and is available for private
consultations.

After completing his undergraduate medical training at
Cardiff University, he pursued his ambition to become an orthopaedic spine surgeon.
After completing his specialist orthopaedic training in the UK, he successfully
completed the prestigious AO Spine Adult and Paediatric Spinal Fellowship in
Brisbane, Australia under the mentorship of the highly regarded spinal
surgeon Dr Geoff Askin. Working closely under the guidance of Dr Askin and his
colleagues in Brisbane, Mr Dabasia was able to learn and further his
understanding and surgical skills with regards to the management of routine and
complex spinal conditions. On his return to the UK he has worked at consultant
level at major spinal centres in Southampton and Oxford, before establishing
his NHS practice at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

At your consultation Mr Dabasia will undertake both a thorough
analysis of your symptoms and a detailed clinical examination before
discussing his professional opinion with you. Further investigations such as an
MRI scan may be required to evaluate your condition. Mr Dabasia will discuss
all treatment options with you, utilising the best current available
evidence, to help select the correct treatment option for you. His strategy
is to try and maximise non-surgical treatment options to treat your condition where
possible, including using a combination of pain medications, physiotherapy and
injections. Those patients who may benefit from surgery will be carefully
counselled about this before any decision is taken.

Mr Dabasia continues to be actively involved in the medical
education of the next generation of doctors, teaching medical students from
the University of Buckingham and supervising future orthopaedic surgeons from
the Oxford Deanery training programme.
