Mr Afolayan has always shown me the greatest respect and has listened to me and taken into account how difficult it is to consider such a major operation. His advice and understanding has been commendable; consequently the level of care I have received has been above and beyond expectations. From my initial appointment I have felt I have been at the centre of my care plan and in no way have I been pressured or rushed to make any decisions. Every aspect of my treatment has been fully explained and I have been very much part of the decision making process. I have the utmost trust in him and cannot thank him enough for his care.

My recent visit was for a nurse wound check after spine surgery, and the care I received was excellent. The nurse was very kind, professional, and reassuring throughout the appointment. She also called the doctor briefly so that I could be seen, which I really appreciated. I am extremely grateful to Mr Afolayan, his team, the nurses, and everyone involved in my care. From surgery through to follow-up, I have felt well looked after and supported. Thank you to the whole RNOH team for the outstanding care.

Mr John was extremely compassionate, caring and patient when he responded swiftly to an emergency involving my experience with extreme back pain. The follow up and after care was similarly person centred. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
