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.

Dr Raithatha has been amazingly patient and caring throughout, he is my pain consultant through the NHS and I am also using his services in his private capacity for treatments not currently available on the NHS. He has provided me with helpful advice, support and treatments for the past 2 years. He actually listened to me and did not disregard my condition/s and pain like so many other consultants have done in the past (I quote a previous pain consultant - "There is no cure so you'll just have to learn to live with it!"). I have suffered for some 20+ years and seen many clinicians. He has been key to helping me improve my day to day living using new treatments now available and I thank him for his diligence, care and attention. Most appreciated, I would fully recommend him.

I have seen or spoken to Dr Raithatha on various occasions as he is part of the Pancreatic Team where I am reviewed. As I have other issues from a pain management prospective it is essential that the Dr who is treating me has both an understanding of my past and present medical issues to be able to treat me effectively. It is clear from speaking to him that he not only understands issues that patients face as regards long term chronic pain but his caring and concern for his patient is very evident in his communication skills which are exceptional. He goes the extra mile to give that extra health. What is also refreshing about Dr Raithatha is that he is willing to work in partnership with the patient to discuss different perspectives of pain and it’s management to see what works and what needs to be reviewed. You have to be a special doctor to treat long term chronic pain and I believe he has all he qualities and skills to do this. I think any patient is fortunate to be treated by him

I’m so grateful to have finally met Dr Bhavesh Raithatha who is an brilliant pain specialist. He is extremely professional, while being friendly, so knowledge and put me right at ease from the moment I met him. After months of tests and pain medication for severe lower back pain, I had almost given up and thought this was now my life. Upon meeting Dr Raithatha I actually said he was my last chance as nothing was working to ease the pain. I had put on weight, I was at my wits end with the pain. Upon discussing a couple of options, I underwent pain management by means of joint injections and nerve blocks and I’m a new person. Im now walking daily, losing weight again and got my life back. I can not thank this doctor enough as he has changed my life, thank you :)
