After months of pain i found dr rea and was more than pleased with thr way he managed to sort.out whats been unbearable pain
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Rae. I explained my SI joint symptoms to him and he suggested the procedure I needed to be pain free again. After a few weeks my pain is gone and I feel like myself again!! Thank you Dr. Ray
Dr Rea is fantastic. I’ve had a few injections with him now and he really takes the time to understand your symptoms even when it can be quite difficult to explain the problem, his experience gets you to the right place. After trying a couple of different procedures, he found the one that has really worked for me and I’m so grateful. He’s very funny which makes the whole experience more bearable. His staff are all clearly very fond of him too which is a good indicator of a kind, caring man.

Thank you! I'm really pleased you had a positive experience! Do come again!
Dr Bill was charming, funny & extremely helpful. He gave me his time and energy to approach the problem I have. The NHS gave me an appointment to see me at a pain clinic in May ‘27 I paid Dr Rea in a week and it was £250 … the best £250 I’ve ever spent … Thanks DrBill 🤝

Thank you for your review. I'm pleased you found it helpful.
Travelling from Northampton to attend for Dr Rea's injections treatment for the second time. Once again I was met with a high degree of medical professionalism at each stage of the process. Pre-injections at all times the nurses kept me comfortable and ensured I had nothing to worry about. When meeting Dr Rea he again took time to speak with me and explain the full procedure to me. During the procedure I was kept comfortable, calm and each stage was explained to me. Post-injections I was monitored by the nurses who provided a nice cup of tea and some biscuits. Once the required observations were completed and the nurse ensured I was OK I was ready to go home. The overall experience was pleasant. Thank you Dr Rea, nurses and Sasha.

Thank you for reviewing the clinic. I will pass your kind comments on to the team.
I saw dr Rea for a shoulder procedure,his examination/explanation was thorough and easy to understand.

Thank you for this review. We are looking to expand our treatments for Shoulder Pain in the future.
Dr Rea spoke in easy to understand terms, was friendly and explained the procedure throughly. He put us at ease immediately. It all went exactly as he said. Thank you

Thank you for reviewing! I'm pleased you found me to your liking!
Great Listening skills, I felt really heard and understood. Practical solutions, and very helpful in general.

Thank you for this review. I'm pleased you had such a positive experience!
Meeting Dr Rea was a really positive experience. I was treated like an adult and listened to. (Something I've not always got in my medical journal sadly) He was very friendly, highly knowledgeable and I wish I had the opportunity to see him years ago. I can't rate this Dr enough about his manner, knowledge and ideas of treatment. I felt that he had one of the best experiences with pelvic pain in men that I've ever spoken to. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about seeing Dr Rea to do it. Top man .. wish there were more dr's like him.

I'm really pleased you had such a positive experience. Thank you.
Dr Rea explained pain in fibromyalgia so brilliantly it helped me understand more about this condition that is misunderstood. I could have listened to him all day with what he was talking about. I came away after not expecting a great deal to having a better understanding about why I feel like I do. Dr Rea also sent me more information via email. I waited a year for this appointment and felt frustrated it took so long, however it was worth the wait due to what I learnt at this appointment.
