AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Radu Popa is professional in patient interactions. He gives clear advice and explanations regarding spinal procedures, including spinal decompression and injections. Patients feel confident, gain much pain relief, and report getting their life back. Overall feedback frequently mentions treatments for sciatica, back pain, microdiscectomy, and spinal decompression.
From the outset Mr Poppa was clear in his diagnosis and outlined various treatment options with a clear recommendation. This gave me confidence to have spinal surgery in 2024. I am now 2 years post op and living a full life free of sciatic pain. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Poppa for his direct and reassuring manner - he is clearly a very skilled and experienced surgeon and a kind person.
Today was my third follow up appointment following spinal fusion surgery earlier in January this year with Mr Popa (spinal trauma consultant). On arrival I am sent for an xray first and during his appointment he shows me from previous xrays my progress and what I may expect during my recovery. He is always polite, personable and professional. My friend had previously been his patient and she highly recommended him.
It was a pleasure to see Mr Popper He has always clear in his advice and has a very nice nature Looking forward to seeing him again with the results of my MRI scan

My experience with Mr Radu Popa was that I found him to be extremely professional. He explains everything in a way that I understand. He explains the x-rays and MRI scans in detail and is very happy to answer any questions I have. I would highly recommend Mr Popa to anybody requiring spinal surgery.
