A doctor who pays attention to my detail of health, pain and wellbeing. Always polite and considerate of my needs and expectation, with a clear explanation of the procedures, risks and aftercare. I felt completely at ease and happy to proceed. The results of the operation very positive and improving on a daily basis. J. Comer

My father had great personal and understanding care from Mr Bhatia. When in hospital recovering from spinal decompresion surgery, performed by Mr Bhatis. He visited most days, even on days off to check on his recovery. His work seems to be a passion not just a job. Even now when my father is attending the hospital for cancer care, if Dr Bhatia or his secretary see him they stop and talk, which is nice for mum and dad Great care, thankyou.

Firstly I would like to say that from the very first time I met Mr Bhatia at the Great Western Hospital, I found him to be a very caring and honest Gentleman. He sat and listened to the problems I was having with walking, unable to hold things for long before I lost my grip because of pains in my hands, pains in my neck ,my arms ,my left leg. I was sent for M I R scan when we got the results back I went to see Mr Bhatia at the Great Western where he explained to me what and where the problem lie. He then hold me what my options were, I agreed to having surgery and on the 13 March 2019 Mr Bhatia and his wonderful team performed a 5 hour operation on my C5/6 disc in my neck. As soon as I woke up in the recovery ward Mr Bhatia came to see me and tell me that everything had gone well. The following morning when was up on the ward and not feeling so groggy he came to see me again to make sure that I was ok and to tell me what he had done and to say I could go home later that day. Today 10/5/19 I went to the Great Western Hospital to see Mr Bhatia , I had an X ray before seeing Mr Bhatia, so he could see what was happening to my spine and if things had settled down and were healing , And they were, Mr Bhatia and I were so pleased that the operation has been a success . He is truly a wonderful gentleman, he truly cares for his patents, he listens to what you say and always gives you an honest answer and very good advice. I cannot THANK YOU AND YOUR TEAM enough for what you have done for me, I am now pain free and have my quality of life back. I would recommend that anyone who has to have surgery would be in the best, the very best hands with Mr Bhatia and his wonderful team at the Great Western Hospital they really look after you because they care. THANK YOU ALL at The Great Western Hospital Swindon .

When starting the journey of having an operation on my spine I was concerned about the situation should matters not go as one would want. Mr Bhatia not only took time in explaining the operation and possible affects but understood my concern and did not hide anything. The latter being a good thing and made me as relaxed as one can be in such a situation. Having decided to go ahead all those I passed though at the Great Western were all that we hoped that we would expect while noting that they were running rather than walking be to number pressures. However I never felt that I was not being looked after. Out of choice I would not have wanted to go through such an operation but having had too Mr Bhatia and all others fulfilled all that one could want. Many many thanks to all

Seven weeks ago Mr Bhatia operated on me to remove calcium build up on my spine. I had bilateral decompression on L3/4 and L4/5. He worked on me for four hours. Prior to the operation I had great pain and massive pins and needles in both legs. I now have no pain and just slight tingling which he has explained will go once the nerves have settled down and I have done physiotherapy to strengthen my inner core. From the first time of meeting him he explained everything in great detail. Starting with showing me the scan of my spine to explaining the risks involved down to the finest of details of what he would be doing. He is the perfect gentleman very understanding and no question you ask him is to silly or menial. I cant praise him enough. Nor can I thank him enough for the wonderful care he has given as I now feel as if once recovery time is over I will be able to live a pain free life. If any reader of this review has any doubts then don't, put your trust in Mr Bhatia he is 100%. Just to add a million thanks from a 65 year old who now feels 55 years old.
