Mr. Colin Natali, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at The Specialist Spine Unit of The Princess Grace Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK, brings extensive experience and expertise to the orthopaedic team. His primary focus is on the spine, dealing with conditions such as back pain, neck pain, prolapsed intervertebral discs, whiplash syndrome, and spondylolisthesis.
Mr. Natali graduated in medicine from the University of London in 1986, obtained his FRCS (Eng) in 1989, and achieved his FRCS (Tr & Orth) in 1996. He spent 15 years as a consultant at St Barts and The Royal London Hospital, where he also served as the programme director for the London Hospital Rotation.
Since 2011, Mr. Natali has been a private consultant. He is dedicated to maximizing non-surgical treatment protocols to avoid surgery whenever possible and to developing surgical devices and techniques to improve patient outcomes when surgery is necessary.
He devotes much of his time to relieving painful spinal conditions, with a particular emphasis on diagnosing and treating issues affecting the neck, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
As a senior lecturer at Queen Mary Westfield College, he has been involved in training both undergraduates and postgraduates. He also served as the medical director of Back2Normal, a private rehabilitation clinic in Tower Hill specializing in neck and back pain.
Mr. Natali is an active member of several medical associations, including the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Association of Spine Surgeons, the British Medical Association, the North American Spine Society, and The General Medical Council.

Mr Colin Natali demonstrates professional and clear interactions with patients. He explains complex conditions, such as numbness or spinal issues, and various treatment options like nerve decompression or spine fusion. Patients commend his diagnostic precision, expertise, and a patient-centric approach. Many patients seek Mr Natali for concerns like lower back pain, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and spinal injections for pain.
Mr Natali explained what appeared to be the cause for 3 years of numbness by talking through my MRI image. I then had a Nerve Conduction Test which gave him additional information on which to base his recommendation on whether nerve decompression had potential to relieve my symptoms. He explained the risks well, and I had confidence that I would be in very capable hands. My operation was scheduled within a week at Princess Grace Hospital. I can't think of a single improvement I could wish for in how I was treated, the facilities and the care given by everyone involved. Two weeks on from the operation I can already feel a significant improvement, and I am confident that further improvement will come through strengthening exercise. I give my sincere praise and gratitude to Mr Natali.
Mr Natali performed pretty complicated surgery on my back with such professionalism and care. He is an outstanding and exceptionally experienced surgeon and he takes his patient’s general well being and concerns as seriously as he takes the surgery. Mr Natali made sure that my operation was carried out as soon as possible so that my condition didn’t deteriorate further. He is friendly, helpful, sparky and has immense understanding of people as well as of their spines!
Clear explanation of what was happening with the scans that were done and a clear diagnosis and plan going forward - liked his openness and transparency and his reluctance to move to surgery got the feeling he cares about whats good for the patient ahead of financial considerations - a breath of fresh air vs some of the other surgeons we have spoken to through our journey to getting well.
Mr Natali has been instrumental in my recovery following the spine fusion he has done. Thanks to his expertise and care, I have been able to return to a normal life and start enjoying it again. He is an exceptional doctor, and cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me.
I consider that the way Dr. Natali has dealt with my case is first class. He is open, clear in his explanations and honest in his assessments.
What a breath of fresh air ! Totally professional excellent service.
Dr. Colin Natali: A Beacon of Excellence in Orthopaedic Care As a patient who faced the frustrating reality of being dismissed by multiple specialists following a significant injury, I cannot overstate the transformative impact Dr. Colin Natali has had on my life and well-being. From our very first consultation, Dr. Natali demonstrated what sets truly exceptional medical professionals apart. While others had minimized my symptoms, Dr. Natali thoroughly assessed my condition and identified the underlying cause of my intense daily pain. His diagnostic precision was remarkable - he recognized the specific technical issues that others had missed. What struck me most about Dr. Natali was his unwavering commitment to patient advocacy. When I struggled to navigate the healthcare system and faced delays in treatment, he took immediate action - coordinating with other specialists, clarifying the appropriate treatment path, and ensuring I received proper care while awaiting definitive treatment. Dr. Natali's technical expertise is matched only by his compassion. He understood not just the physical aspects of my condition, but also the emotional toll of having my concerns repeatedly dismissed by healthcare providers. He validated my experiences and fought for my proper diagnosis and treatment. Thanks to Dr. Natali's intervention and precise treatment plan, what once seemed impossible has become reality. My condition has improved significantly, and I now have hope for a normal life again - something I had nearly abandoned before finding him. In a medical landscape where patients ...
Read moreI thoroughly recommend Mr Natali. He gave me a thorough explanation and most importantly clearly laid out the next best steps for my problem giving me the confidence I need to manage future NHS referrals. I came away from my consultation understanding my condition and consequently less anxious. Many thanks!
I had hoped for a magic bullet to solve the severe discomfort had been experiencing within a few weeks of my treatment so I was disappointed when Mr Natali suggested a wait and see approach. I was, however, greatly comforted by his offer of further treatment if my painful symptoms continued. I have great confidence in his skills,, knowledge and professionalism so I shall do as he suggests ... with fingers crossed. I have decided to become more physically active and positive in my hope to reduce this debilitating problem since I believe that my attitude will contribute greatly to my improvement.
