I met with Dr Camilleri in person and had a telephone conversation with him before treatment and on both occasions he explained everything to me regarding my pain and kept me informed of any updates on my treatment.
During the procedure he talked me through everything he was doing and made me feel really at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I was referred to Dr Camilleri by a consultant who couldn't offer the pain management that Dr Camilleri could. From the very first appointment I had total confidence in him, he sat down and explained everything in detail, along with all the options I had to relieve the pain in my neck and lower back. We came up with a pain management plan which was implemented within a week, starting with injections within the areas of concern, these unfortunately didn't work so changed the treatment to denervation.
I can't thank Dr Camilleri enough as the results were excellent.
I have now started to recommend Dr Camilleri to friends and family, or anybody who needs his speciality.
10/10

I went to Mr Camilleri in despair and in search of a cure for horrific back pain - looking for a Miracle...All though I know people say 'there is no such thing'.
Mr Camilleri not only took the the to listen to my problems, but to help manage the pain and come up with a resolution of a Denervation to my lower back.
This was a magical procedure for me and 'as if by magic' the pain & swelling dispersed.
Mr Camilleri extended his time & total compassion for the patient at all times
I would highly recommend him to any one.

Expertise:
Chronic pain, in particular back pain, is an extremely problematic and complicated area of Medicine, affecting large numbers of the population.
Navigating the research and recommendations often leaves patients (and even many doctors) very uncertain as to the correct course of action to take or recommend.
Each patient I see is carefully assessed with time given to allow a full understanding of that patient's symptoms.
Relevant investigations, such as MRIs, may form a part of the initial assessment and will be explained in a manner that allows each patient to understand the cause of their pain and all available treatment options.
In order to offer a full range of treatment options I work in close collaboration with other Specialist Consultants such as Spine Surgeons; Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Rheumatologists, Orthopaedic Surgeons and Physiotherapists.
As well as providing a multifaceted approach to various pain conditions, I offer expertise in the latest ablative (destruction) techniques of nerve fibres that carry the sensation of pain, to reduce the burden of pain arising from the Spine (low back & neck) and knees. These procedures are minimally invasive and are performed as a day case procedure. Other procedures that I provide include:
- Spinal injections
- Facet Joint injections to the neck and lumbar spine
- Medial Branch injections
- Radiofrequency Denervation (also called radiofrequency ablation, radiofrequency neurotomy or facet rhizolysis) to the back and neck.
- Sacro-iliac joint injection and denervation
- Knee (genicular nerve) denervation
- Epidural injections for sciatica
- Targeted nerve root injections for sciatica
- Muscle steroid/cortisone injections
- Botox injections for persistent muscle pain
