Explanation

The procedure has changed my day to day, pain before the procedure was a score of 10/10, after the procedure my pain score is 0/10. The procedure was quick, and after the local anesthetic at the site the procedure was relatively painless, a little discomfort when the injection of fluid took place.

Explanation

I saw Dr Bhagawati having been suffering from long term sciatica. In my initial consultation Dr Bhagawati talked me through all of the various options and we landed on a nerve blocker injection. The procedure was very simple and i was in and out of hospital within a morning. The procedure has significantly reduced the pain.

Explanation

I was extremely anxious about having spinal decompression surgery due to my sciatica and indeed delayed having the operation for two years as I was so anxious. I needn't have been. Mr Bhagawati explained the procedure thoroughly and I was up and walking about almost immediately after surgery. My recovery again has been nothing short of astonishing with my pain disappearing almost immediately. I would recommend to anyone who is concerned about having it done not to be. My biggest regret is that I waited so long to have the procedure done and was in so much pain for so long unnecessarily.

There are occasions when patient problems turn out to be spinal issues rather than hip or knee issues and I have no hesitation in referring my patients to Mr Bhagawathi for his expertise and excellent management of these patients. I have always received positive feedback from these patients.
