Mr Zacharia Silk

Dr silk has been amazing, he clearly explained what to expect be the spinal operation and the results are well just amazing. He is a very clever surgeon and is so friendly he explained everything very clearly I can not recommend him enough or express enough how thankful we are for his talents

My recent experience was wonderful. I met Doctor Zacharia again for him to see how well I’ve recovered and he reconnected a few things that would help benefit my day to day life with my back.

Mr Silk has always been very welcoming and treats my daughter in a personalised way taking on board her views. Dr Silk takes his time to listen to my daughter ensuring she has exhausted every question she has leaving no stone unturned. My daughter is feeling very nicely, the actual scoliosis and the scar. As a mother I am extremely happy with the results of the full surgery as a whole.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to mostly importantly Dr Zilk and his team Dr Catherine and nurses - Rachael, Amenia and Melissa (Recovery Bestie) for the excellent care and expertise you provided during my daughter pre and post surgery. Knowing she was in such capable hands gave our family great reassurance throughout the process. We are incredibly grateful for the successful outcome and for the professionalism, compassion, and support shown by you and your team. Thank you for making such a positive difference to her life and wellbeing. This was a significant moment for our family and we cannot adequately express how grateful we are for your skill, care, and dedication. Your expertise and the confidence you inspired us pre and post surgery and throughout her journey till date meant a great deal to us. We truly appreciate everything you and your team have done and are delighted with her progress. The only additional feedback we would like to share relates to the timing of the surgery. Having told the surgery will be done in the afternoon on the day of the surgery added to the anxiety and stress for both our daughter and our family. We arrived at the hospital before 6:00am and had to wait for Dr Zilk to finish the first patient and my daughter didn't go for her surgery till 2pm. As she was required to fast from the night before, this meant she went without food for a prolonged period while also coping with the understandable anxiety of a major operation. For a 12-year-old facing significant surgery, this was particularly unpleasant.. This was u...

Mr Silk is extremely professional, kind natured and reassuring. Any questions that we had were answered in full and we felt comforted. Our daughter's operation could not have gone any better, her posture is amazing, she has made a full recovery and the scar has faded so well. Thank you, as our daughter will now lead a normal life now.

Really happy with my recent visit! been signed off after 2 years, surgery went amazing and has been life changing for me since! couldn’t be happier with Dr Silk and everyone in the team!

I needed spinal surgery and met Mr Silk before the surgery was due to take place. He explained the procedure and possible side effects and delicate nature of the surgery. He made me feel at ease and i was very willing to take the chance and agree to the surgery. He took great care of me during and after the surgery.

I have been under the care of Mr Silk since November 2024 due to having scoliosis, and I can’t recommend him enough. From the start, he has always shown so much compassion - I have always felt as though he has a genuine interest in my wellbeing, and getting to know me for me, not just my scoliosis. I had spinal fusion in June 2026, with Mr Silk being my surgeon. Throughout the process, he made me feel like I was in safe hands and he made the whole thing feel less daunting. Every day that he could, he came to visit me on the ward after surgery which was so comforting, and he was very uplifting when I had my first post-op appointment. Mr Silk has made such a daunting situation feel lighter, and he truly has had such a positive impact on my life, which is why no words will ever be able to express my gratitude for him

It was an easy and productive experience. I was able to receive quality service and information. All information was clear and met expectations. My questions were answered with detailed and helpful information aswell.

I visited the hospital for a check up after a year since having surgery. Mr Silk has always been so kind and thoughtful, concerned for his patients mental as well as physical wellbeing. Prior to surgery I was very anxious, but I felt reassured being in his care.
