Mr Daniel Rolton offers excellent patient interaction. He shows competence in treating specific spinal issues, including lumbar decompression surgery and microdiscectomy, which provides resolution of chronic pain. Many report a complete life transformation, allowing a return to normal activities after swift, successful procedures and faultless aftercare. His expertise addresses severe back discomfort and related leg and sciatic nerve pain.
I had a back fusion 7 weeks ago, I was in so much pain but literally as soon I woke up the pain was gone. Mr Rolton couldn’t do enough for me He’s a miracle worker and everything he told me after being in his care for many months now he kept to his word ! He’s honest kind and so thoughtful on how his patients need his help can’t thank him enough
Everything was efficient and parking was adjacent to the building.
Mr Rolton truly listened to my symptoms and when initial findings did not fully resolve my issue he investigated further and found the additional underlying cause, for which I am extremely grateful!
Mr Rolton was keen to know how I was getting on since my operation and very pleased with the outcome.
The consultation, hospital, operation, and after care was faultless, swift painless and totally successful, I am delighted with results & have only praise for the whole experience with Mr Rolton & his team . The pain has gone I can resume a normal life Thanks Alun J.
When I first met Mr Rolton I burst out crying as another hospital had said there were no problems and I begged him to help me. From that moment on I gained huge confidence in his professionalism, explanations and surgical skills. To say he has transformed my life would not be an exaggeration. He has now completed two surgeries on me, one on my back and one on my neck which was the most recent..
I was in constant pain and using walking aids but was so lucky to be referred to MR Rolton . He diagnosed the spine problem immediately and lost no time in booking me in the Spire Dunedin for the necessary operation. Pain gone and back to usual activities. I joli glu called it a miracle but of course it was due to the competence of the surgeon . I would like also to commend his empathy and kindness when dealing with a patient, an important trait.
If you require excellent surgery then look no further that Mr Rolton. The complete experience was one one quiet professionalism, re-assuring conversation both for myself and my wife. This is how medical attention should be provided and the persons involved should be recognised with thanks.
