I just want to share my experience with Dr Raithatha, I struggled with extreme pain in my spine, neck, occipital, he gave me a couple of options and tried one of the options first, good results, then moved onto branch blocks which worked wonders! He really cares about helping you get better and doesn’t give up like most Dr’s. I would reccomend him to anybody for pain management!
I recently was a patient at Spire Leicester and was referred to Dr B Raithatha for pain management following a knee injury. From the first appointment I found him easy to talk too, not rushed, empathetic and a desire to help me get better and get back to full health. The treatment and care I received has led to a speedier recovery than expected. I fully recommend Dr Raithatha to anybody requiring a pain specialist.

I could not recommend Dr Raithatha more. I’ve had a consistent migraine for over a year and was not getting along with any of the medication and honestly was struggling to get someone to take me seriously. Dr Raithatha was the first doctor to take me seriously and genuinely want to help and that in itself was more of a comfort than I can explain. He explained my options , giving me the tools I needed to understand what treatments there were while letting me choose. We tried the Botox injections which I know help so many others but did not work for me. He went out of his way to find me medication that had results and was also affordable. The medication he found for me has changed my life and made living with this so much more manageable. The worst symptoms have gone and I know I couldn’t have reached this space both physically and mentally had he not helped me through the whole process. It makes a world of a difference to have a doctor that is determined to help you.
I came to see Dr Bhavesh Raithatha at the spires I am a nurse who works within the NHS. This gentleman helped me so much as the pain I was in was so debilitating which impacted so much on my life I can not thank him enough. I would like to say from the bottom of my heart I know I will have to go back for more treatment but I know that he’s only an email away so thank you thank you .
I have a rare and highly complex medical condition that causes many other issues and, in general, I never feel cared for by doctors, and I never feel listened to. That all changed when Dr Raithatha became my pain specialist. I cannot thank him enough for the effort that he is putting into working with me to find solutions for my pain. I feel heard and I feel confident in his expertise. Unlike other doctors, he never patronises me or ignores me, and he is genuinely a delight to speak with. It's so nice to have a specialist who is optimistic around me and who understands helping to ease my type of pain means that a layered approach to medication is required. Thank you so very much for all you have done for me so far! I have a renewed sense of hope moving forward and I already feel that I have some quality of life back.
