From my first appointment Mr Nowell listened carefully, checked with diagnostic procedures then explained what was happening clearly. My microdiscectemy surgery went smoothly, & recovery went largely as predicted. I am now much improved compared to before surgery and am very pleased to have gone ahead with Mr Nowell’s advice.

I felt totally at ease from start to finish and everything was explained in detail to me. I hope I never see Mark again, with the greatest respect. However, I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone needing his services.

What can I say, my rating said it all really. Mr Mark Nowell was and is extremely professional, he has a lovely bedside manner. He took his time in explaining everything to me and answering any questions I had. I couldn’t have asked for more when facing something that came as a complete shock to me. So I am incredibly grateful for the treatment I have received. Many thanks to Mark Nowell and his team!
