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 would highly recommend Dr Rolton. Having suffered from severe, debilitating sciatica with little relief following treatment from a previous surgeon, meeting Dr Rolton was a breath of fresh air. From the outset, he listened carefully to my concerns, quickly recognised the impact my symptoms were having on my quality of life, and demonstrated genuine empathy and understanding. The entire process, from consultation to MRI and surgery, was completed within just two weeks. I am delighted to say that, seven weeks post-surgery, the results have been tremendously positive and have significantly improved my quality of life. Dr Rolton took the time to explain the proposed surgery, potential complications and expected prognosis clearly, ensuring I felt informed and reassured throughout the process. His professionalism, compassion and expertise made a very difficult experience much easier to navigate. I am extremely grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend Dr Rolton to anyone experiencing similar difficulties.
I cannot recommend Mr Rolton highly enough. He performed my microdiscectomy, and I am incredibly grateful for his care, skill and professionalism. Throughout my experience, he was always kind and genuinely understanding of just how much pain I was in. It meant a great deal to feel that he understood what I had been going through and that I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared. He was happy to see me doing well at my follow-up appointment and finally be able to sit down in comfort! To be able to help people who have been living with pain and give them the opportunity to get back to living a normal life is such a wonderful thing. Thank you, Mr Rolton, for what you do and for giving people hope of a life with less pain and more freedom. I will always be grateful for the care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing spinal surgery.
Treated honestly, aware of the options and at no time felt that I did not have control of any decisions, even within an hour of the operation. Very reassured.
Mr Dan Rolton has performed 3 spinal surgery operations on me over last 10 years. The outcome on the last operation completed on July 7th went very well. Mr Rolton was very honest before and did say he couldn’t fix more only make it better. That is how I find myself 2 months later. I’m extremely grateful to Mr Rolton my quality of life has greatly improved
Fantastic a gentleman done a very good job 1o gold stars
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.
