Exceptional care received from Dr Langdon from start to finish. They took the time to carefully explain everything - the problem, the potential options and once agreed to proceed with surgery, carried out the procedure without any issues. Follow up care had also been excellent. Would very much recommend.

I was very thankful for the detailed care, medical explanations and very clear treatment options that James laid out in my particular case. Enabled me to make an informed decision and ultimately resulted in a positive outcome.

Considering the pain I was in and the actual treatments undertaken, it seems strange to say it was an enjoyable process. That is down to the fact that Mr Langdon, provided clear, confident and informative at every step which gave me the reassurance I was in good hands and knew what to expect.

2.5
I felt he had decided before I came in that he could not help me so I felt rushed through. However he explained very well and made a plan which I was happy with.

Mr Langdon was great from start to finish. I know that he saw me at the end of an already full clinic and on top of that arranged an immediate MRI...making him much later than he needed to be in getting home! I was in a great deal of pain and I very much appreciated his help in getting me sorted as fast as possible. He made sure I was early on in the running order of procedures on the day of my treatment and everything was explained well to me both before and afterwards. Cannot fault in any way. Thank you very much

Very patient took his time explaining the surgery and aftercare. Very knowledge about my condition. Made me feel relaxed and in safe hands as I was very scared of the surgery itself and the possible risks.

Mr Langdon and I have shared a number of patients, particularly young people with possible inflammatory back disease, and patients with degenerative disc problems. I am very happy to recommend him to my spinal patients for an opinion on possible surgery.
