Before my spinal decompression surgery, I was unable to walk more than 20 metres without seizing up. Seven weeks since the operation, I have already flown into Europe for work, I am about to travel to California - again for work - and feel better than I have done in a very long time. On the day of my post-op assessment this week with Caspar, I walked more than 2 miles to the hospital with none of the old pain. I'm very grateful for everything that has been done. I am so much better, both physically and mentally. Thank-you

I recently saw Mr Aylott at The Cheltenham Spine Clinic after struggling with dizziness for some time. I was feeling quite anxious and hoped that having my neck checked would give me some answers. From start to finish, I felt really listened to and reassured. After my consultation, MRI and X-ray, it was such a relief to hear that my neck was in good shape. Mr Aylott was kind, thorough and took the time to explain everything and give me some helpful advice moving forward. I left feeling much more reassured and positive. I’m genuinely very grateful for the care and reassurance I received and would highly recommend Mr Aylott and the team.

Mr Aylott carried out a thorough examination of my back, sent me off for x-ray and MRI imaging, and later on the same day took me through all the images, explained them and advised me. Also followed up with letters which I can use for any GP or physio referral. Very pleased with this prompt and thorough service

We highly recommend the professional skills of Mr Aylott, spinal specialist. His examination was thorough, well communicated with great understanding. Mr Aylott is clearly deeply engaged and interested in his specialism and in the patient both as a medical case and as an all round human being. Mr Aylott was efficient and prompt in providing the diagnosis, the report and visual evidence needed with clear advice on how to present this crucial information. He has enabled us to focus on the next steps in achieving the treatment required while preserving time, energy and strength. We feel fortunate to have found the right person when most needed. Thank you Mr Aylott and we look forwards to coming back to you with what we hope will be the best possible outcome.

Following a recurring issue with sciatica, my physiotherapist referred me to have an MRI scan as the physio wasn't having any effect. I saw Mr Aylott at his "one-stop" service and he quickly diagnosed the issue and advised what my options were. I decided to have spinal injections at his clinic in London and this was very straightforward (in and out within an hour) and has greatly improved my condition. I would recommend Mr Aylott and this clinic to anyone who suffers from back pain/sciatica and requires a quick diagnosis and/or treatment options.

I initially met with Mr Aylott to discuss an MRI which showed I had an inflamed Schmols Node which was causing me a great deal of pain. My Aylott put my mind at rest that this was an injury that would heal but it could take some time. After some discussion it was agreed that I should receive an epidural spinal injection. My Aylott made it clear that the effectiveness of this treatment varies from person to person but I was willing to go ahead as the pain was affecting my life. A couple of weeks later I underwent the procedure. I was made very comfortable and looked after extremely well throughout the few hours I was at the hospital. After 7 weeks I would say the pain has been reduced by about 80% which has made such a difference to me.
