Sciatica

After more than a year of leg pain often severe I had tried the usual physio, excercises etc. to no avail.  My local surgery could only offer many more months of waiting for a specialist referral.  
Having been to Sulis in the past and very satisfied with private and NHS treatment there,  I requested a private apppointment with Neuro Surgeon Mr Edward’s.  I found him attentive, helpful and informative.  He shared his thoughts on my diagnosis and referred me for an MRI scan which all happened within a short space of time.  
After reviewing the scan and discussing the results with me I opted for him to refer me for a Root Spinal Block. 
The spinal block took place at Sulis, again I was impressed by the timings and patient care.  I am pleased to say that this treatment  has been a total success.  I am now back leading my normal busy life pain free.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Edward’s.

Craniotomy

Brain Haemorrhage

In February I had a massive acute subdural brain haematoma. It happened without warning and without apparent cause. I'm in my early 70s and statistically it looked hopeless. But Mr Teo looked at the scan, and recognising that there were some signs that the bleed might also have been chronic, allowed me to be admitted to Southmead from my local hospital, then I was seen very quickly by the surgical team. I had an emergency craniotomy that night and last week I had a follow-up scan which shows that the brain has now settled back into its proper position. I will be astonishingly tired for perhaps another 18 months, but I have every chance of getting better. I was extremely lucky, I know. There are so very many factors at play in a medical emergency. But I couldn't have been lucky without the brilliant surgical support of Mr Teo and the full surgical team. Even on a very busy day (which I was suddenly making very much busier for everyone) everybody was kind and efficient and - my wife reports, because I don't remember much -  joyful. Without any doubt I owe my life to Mr Teo and to the whole team. The only complaint was from my grandson, who was sad that he could hardly see the scar. "I thought it would be much more obvious," he said. 

Thank you.

Leg Pain

Slipped / Prolapsed / Herniated Disc

After suffering with a large L4/5 disc prolapse for several months, I was fortunate to be under the care of Mr Mark Nowell. From the initial consultation through to my microdiscectomy and subsequent follow-up, I found him to be extremely professional, approachable and reassuring. He explained everything clearly and gave me confidence in the treatment plan.

The surgery itself was a great success. I had been suffering with severe leg pain and debilitating cramping, and following the operation these symptoms disappeared almost immediately. 

I am extremely grateful to Mr Nowell for his skill and care, and would have no hesitation in recommending him to other patients facing similar conditions.

Meningiomas

It was such pleasure to meet Mr Abhinav we both would like to thank him and his team for saving Eve's life. He was as usual totally professional and very kind. He reassured us that the operation to remove a very difficult meningioma had been successful . He gave us all the time we needed. Truly excellent from the start.
Thank you again your skill and professionalism has given back our lives.
