Mr Rai has performed a miracle in the relief of my persistent sciatic nerve pain due to nerve compression in my spine. The relief is significant to total. Mr Rai took time to fully explain my condition including recording a video sp that I could articulate to my family clearly what he was going to do. Mr Rai has been exceptional in every respect and has my deepest thanks.

Mr Rai filled me with confidence when diagnosing my lower back issue, his knowledge is excellent. We have discussed a plan to move forwards, I thought at this point he was done, however he suggested a follow up call consultation to ensure things had improved. Mr Rai has also completed a very intrusive operation carrying risk on a family member in the past which has changed their life for the better, I cannot recommend him enough.

Mr Am Rai performed my spinal surgery for severe spinal stenosis. I was initially worried about having surgery and carefully considered my options beforehand. Mr Am Rai clearly explained the rationale for surgery. He was always professional, kind and caring. He put me at ease every step of the way. He visited me immediately pre and post surgery and again the day after (on a weekend). I felt very well looked after. I have since had several post op outpatient appointments for wound care and to monitor progress throughout the recovery period. I am incredibly happy with the outcome so far. My pain has totally resolved, which means no more strong drugs! I am confident that I will be back to normal in no time. I highly recommend Mr Am Rai to anyone who is considering this type of surgery.

Mr Rai was incredibly professional and explained everything that would be occurring with the surgery. Post surgery he was also amazing with explaining how my recovery would take place. He’s a brilliant surgeon and excellent at his job, my surgery has gone perfectly and I’m healing beautifully. Throughout the whole experience Mr Rai has been warm, comforting, wonderfully explanatory and helpful, leaving me reassured before and after the surgery process. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgical experience - no one enjoys having surgery, but in Mr Rai’s capable and experienced hands, the experience has been a positive one.

I found Mr Rai to be professional, confident and thorough in his assessment of my condition, he clearly placed the opinions before me and allowed me to make the decision as to what treatment to choose. At every stage he was polite, informative and inspired confidence. I am delighted with the result of the surgery, to be able to move without pain is a joy. I have much to thank Mr Rai for.

I’ve seen Mr Rai for spinal issues several times. He is always professional, kind and understanding. He listens intently to my issues, takes in everything I say and summarises it perfectly, something that other health professionals have failed to do. He answers my questions with clear explanations. I trust his medical opinion and his surgical skill.

Exactly what I expected and wanted from my consultation.

As a retired nurse myself it was really helpful, from the beginning, to have a full explanation of the problem and also to see the images of the MRI scan, I appreciated having the procedure explained and what to expect in the weeks following surgery.
