About Mr Gabriel Alo

Mr. Gabriel Alo is an Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgeon with an active NHS and private practice. He specialises in treating patients with back pain, sciatica or hip or knee joint problems; helping them to return to their usual activities of daily living, work or recreation as soon as possible using the most appropriate methods, be it operative or non-operative.

Mr. Alo treats patients with back pain, sciatica or spinal claudication using conservative measures, spinal injections, and neurosurgical or orthopaedic procedures as appropriate for each individual case. He operates only on adults.

In addition to his own practice, Mr. Alo actively participates in the West Midland Regional Spinal Network and related MDT activities. He attends international medical conferences in his areas of special interest.

Although his NHS practice still includes General Orthopaedics and Spinal Surgery, his private practice is focused on spines as driven by demand and interest. He still offers advice to patients who come to me for hip and knee surgery he would refer them on to an appropriate colleague who specialises in hip or knee surgery and has specialised advice in those areas; keeping to his own speciality of spinal surgery.

As a Vitality patient, I chose Mr Alo, and I can confidently say it was an excellent decision. From my very first consultation, Mr Alo immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain the possible causes of my back problem and talked me through the treatment options and the journey ahead in a clear, reassuring and professional manner. Throughout every stage of my treatment, Mr Alo kept me fully informed and explained everything in great detail. When medication and physiotherapy failed to improve my condition, we discussed the option of a spinal injection. Having never undergone any form of surgery or procedure before, I naturally felt apprehensive, but Mr Alo's reassurance and thorough explanations helped put my mind at ease. Unfortunately, when the injection proved unsuccessful, surgery became the only remaining option. Mr Alo carefully explained the procedure, the potential risks and what I could expect. His professionalism, knowledge and ability to communicate complex information in such a clear and reassuring way gave me complete confidence and helped me feel calm and prepared for the operation. Thankfully, my operation was a success, and I honestly cannot believe the difference it has made to my back and my quality of life. I am extremely grateful for the outcome. Mr Alo's aftercare has been equally outstanding. He has continued to provide clear, helpful advice and reassurance, and nothing has ever felt like too much trouble. I cannot thank Mr Alo enough for the exceptional care, professionalism and compassion he has shown me throughout my treatment. He ha...

Mr Alo explains what is wrong and if you don’t understand he explains it another way and never makes you feel silly. I have known mr Alo for years and recommended a lot of people to him and I wouldn’t like to see anyone else

I wish to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional surgical care Mr Alo, provided during my recent spinal operation. I want to acknowledge not only your professionalism and dedication, but particularly your skill, expertise and ability as a surgeon. The difference you have made to my life has been significant, and I feel it is important to put that appreciation into words. Undergoing spinal surgery is a considerable undertaking and naturally brings with it uncertainty and apprehension. Throughout the process, I was reassured by your professional manner, your clear explanations and the confidence you inspired. It was evident that I was in the hands of someone with considerable experience, knowledge and surgical expertise. However, it is the outcome of your work that I particularly want to recognise. Following my operation, I have experienced a significant improvement in my quality of life. Being able to walk again, to move around more comfortably and, thankfully, to be free from the pain that had affected me has made an enormous difference. Your surgical skill has helped restore something that has a profound impact on everyday life: mobility, independence and the ability to look forward to the future with renewed confidence. Please accept my sincere thanks for everything you have done for me. I feel extremely fortunate to have been under your care, and I will always be grateful for the skill, dedication and professionalism you demonstrated.

A very warm and friendly professional who put me at ease from the start. Listening and guiding me through the treatment I required. Going above and beyond with so much care. Taking time to make sure that I became well again, I never felt rushed and that nothing was to much with excellent care, treatment and follow up appointments again was amazing, thank you so much for making me well again and for your support and medical knowledge when I needed it.
