After seeing so many doctors for my abdominal pain which started in December 2021, I had numerous tests to try and find out what was wrong with me. It turned out to be hepatitis from some medication that I was given to treat erosive gastritis. I have been on so many medications including Oramorph, Morphine patches and Codeine and nothing would resolve my pain. My knight in shining armour came along. Dr Bhavesh Raithatha. He performed miracles on me by giving injections into my tummy and my back. He was/still is very caring, very knowledgable and treated me with dignity and respect. He went above and beyond and I am and will be truly forever grateful. I would highly recommend this gentleman to anyone who is suffering.

Dr Raithatha is an excellent pain specialist. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, while being friendly and putting you at ease. He. discusses your issues with you and really listens. He listens to understand and not to respond, which is sometimes rare to find in people. Once he fully understands your issue, he then sets out a treatment plan and discusses this with you and makes sure you understand and are happy with the chosen plan. He checks in at every stage to make sure you are still happy and always asks if you have questions. What struck me most was that he presented me with a treatment plan with multiple stages in case previous stages had little to no effect. This lightened a huge weight on my shoulders because I finally felt that no matter what, we would get there in the end and he wouldn’t stop until we did. After years of anxiety over my pain, Dr Raithatha improved my mental health through this alone. He views the patient as a whole person and not just as the problem presented. He is extremely patient centred and his care comes through in everything he does. Because of this he has helped improve my quality of life drastically. I’m so grateful I was referred to him. If ever there was an award for excellence in his field, he would definitely be my winner.

Dr Raithatha recently performed a hip procedure on my elderly mother. I have nothing but praise for this gentleman. He treated my Mother with respect and dignity from the first consultation to the follow up after her procedure.

After poor service from my own Dr I sought medical assistance via Spire Hospital in Leicester. It was swiftly identified that the best person to assist with the horrendous headaches I had been suffering with for around 4yrs was Dr Raithatha, due to his specialist knowledge in this field. My first appointment was on time & I felt that I was being listened to & given time to explain what had been going on. The treatment I required was identified & fully explained in details that I could understand. The date was set & I attended Spire Leicester for my treatment. Dr Raithatha came to see me prior to going to theatre, checked I still understood what was going to happen & checked I understood any potential side effects. After the procedure he again came to the room to check all was well. The follow up appointment was another great experience. I was allowed to explain how it had been following the procedure & we discussed future plans, as I will more than likely have to return for more treatment(s). At all times I was made to feel that I was being listened to & that my problem was something that could be treated. Dr Raithatha made me feel at ease on every meeting, including when we met in the theatre. I cannot speak highly enough for his professionalism, compassion & total understanding of how to help his patients. I would highly recommend Dr Raithatha to anyone needing the services he specialises in.
