I am so delighted with the treatment Mr Kapoor provided. The outcome for me could not have been better. Previously, due to pain and discomfort I found it difficult to walk very far, now I'm able to walk for miles with no problems. Mr Kapoor gave me a caudal epidural steroid injection and also steroid injections to several facet joints. He explained everything to me and at each visit he has given me time to ask questions. He is pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable and I felt totally safe in his capable care.

Mr Kapoor performed a miracle with my back. I could barely stand or walk and was back to full mobility within weeks of surgery. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

After several years of back pain Mr Kapoor immediately identified a spinal stenosis problem & quickly booked me in for appropriate surgery. Initial recovery was more painful than anticipated but at long last I can now walk upright again thanks to Mr Kapoor's skill.

I was discharged following an X-ray. Mr Kapoor examined the scar, questioned me about my recovery and explained the before and after X- rays, also by reference to a model spine. He also advised about further possible improvements in the months ahead. Mr Kapoor has twice operated on my spine. On each occasion I welcomed that he was clear about issues, options and outcomes. He also carried out the surgery soon after the initial consultation.

I contacted Mr Kapoor following a recommendation from a family friend at a point where my condition had become severe. I was unable to walk and was spending much of the day crawling due to pain. Mr Kapoor saw me promptly, and after discussion we agreed that a microdiscectomy was the best course of action. From my initial consultation to surgery was just six days, which was remarkable and hugely reassuring. The relief I felt when I woke up from surgery was instant. The sciatic pain had completely disappeared, and for the first time in a long while I was able to move freely. I genuinely feel that Mr Kapoor gave me my life back and put me firmly on the road to recovery. I would also like to mention Naomi, his secretary, who was consistently helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her, even when she was unwell herself. I would strongly recommend Mr Kapoor and the team at Spire Macclesfield to anyone needing spinal surgery.

My final consultation after surgery couldn’t have gone better. What an outstanding and very skilful surgeon I was lucky enough to have. I couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend Mr Kapoor. I am now completely free of pain and the improvement has been life changing, a huge difference to my quality of life, so thank you.
