Mr Bull really took the time to listen to my issues and understand the complexities of my injury. He really helped me understand the mechanics of my pain which I think will be really helpful going forward. I have seen several physios but feel much more confident after seeing mr bull due to the care and attention he gave during the appointment. I felt like he genuinely cared about helping my recovery which sadly isn’t always the case with busy consultants, very happy with the service!

I met Dr.Bull when I was in a real mess with my back. I was in so much pain and could not walk, but after a couple of reassuring meetings followed by an operation, I am free of pain and can get back to losing golf balls at my local club. Dr.Bull was genuinely concerned with my back issues and managed to target the root cause of the problem in one operation. I would whole heartedly recommend Dr.Bull to anyone who is suffering with back pain.
