Mr Paul Thorpe

Written by a patient at Jersey General Hospital

I was in a very difficult place when I first met with Paul Thorpe.I had been in severe pain for nine months, had various unsuccessful interventions and my condition was rapidly deteriorating. From being a very active person I was unable to walk without the aid of a stick and just about able to take care of myself at home. Mr Thorpe took time to explain my condition and gave me a full explanation of the options available. When discussing surgery he explained what to expect, the intended benefits as well as the risks. All was explained in such a kind, caring, reassuring and professional manner, which I so appreciated as I was at an all time low. I decided to go ahead with surgery a degenerative scoliosis correction with instrumental fusion & revision decompression, and this took place three weeks ago. I can't thank Paul Thorpe and his team enough for giving me the best individual care possible. I am now on the road to recovery and quite amazed as to how I am doing. I am aware it is early days yet, but having been given the chance by the amazing skills of Paul Thorpe I will do everything I can to work towards a full recovery.

Have been on receiving end of surgical skills for a very extensive two-stage procedure. He and whole team involved could not have been better. What is even better is a brilliant post -op outcome

Mr Thorpe was extremely kind to me and reassuring throughout the process of having outpatient appointments to surgery! I've had an L5/S1 discectomy and 4 months on I feel better than ever! He was very thorough and explained what the process would be, what to expect and answered any queries I had. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done and would highly recommend him.

This specialist put me at my ease immediately and prescribed diagnostic MRIs to inform his diagnosis and treatment. He had been previously recommended by a peer surgeon at the same hospital and had impressive credentials. When I found that the procedures he was offering were not payable under my Private Health Insurance arrangements he lost no time in organising this work at the public expense (NHS). I shall review again when the treatment has been completed

Mr Thorpe gave me all the information about the operation and he listen to me he made me fill relaxed. I just hope he can reduce the pain in my legs so that I can enjoy walking again.
