Explanation

Mr Allibone gave me time to explain my issues, examined me, and prescribed imaging in order to make a correct diagnosis. He reassured me that depending on the results there would be treatment options. I have been able to arrange to see him for the results three days after the scans. Very professional, friendly and thorough.

Explanation

I was not at all keen to have spinal surgery but Dr. Allibone explained all my options in a very clear and professional way and ultimately gave me the reassurance I needed to make what I believe to be the best decision given the severity of my herniated disc. All the relevant risks were explained clearly and as a result of Dr Allibone's expertise did not materialise. To be able to walk without nerve pain for the first time in the 100 days since this injury occurred feels like a miracle.
