Miss Collins is second to none, I can’t emphasis enough how comforting her people skills are, friendly and professional, actively listening to my anxieties about the procedure. Excellent communication, extremely knowledgeable, clear and reassuring advice promoting my health and well-being.

I have been dealing with Ms Collins for 5 years. From the very start she has been extremely sympathetic and constructive. A decompression did not provide a solution to my problems and identifying the source of the problems have complicated by two knee replacements. There is a general consensus that it is my spine that is the cause but pinpointing the exact source has so far proved elusive.
Ms Collins has tried many things to track the source and various treatments to help alleviate the worse of the symptoms. Though those have not yet proved successful I know her to be a determined and resourceful doctor who I believe will get to the root of the problem. When that is known I am sure that even if she cannot offer a cure she will be able to offer some form of treatment that will improve my quality of life.

I’m not the type to leave reviews or feedback but this lady deserves it. Injured my back in work which has left me with foot drop. I’ve recently had a spinal injection which has significantly helped with the pain. Everything was explained in detail and felt instantly at ease. After care is second to none. I cannot speak more highly of miss Collins and if you’re unfortunate to end up under her care rest assured you couldn’t be in better hands in my opinion.

I can not speak too highly of this lady. Although I have suffered with my back for many years she has not given up on her attempt to identify the source of my pain. I hope my latest MRI will prove positive.
This lady is a beautiful lady inside and out. She is truly one of the best surgeons I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her compassion shows in her work.

Miss Collins was brilliant. She provided one of the best services I've ever had. Every last detail was explained thouroughly. Other tests and ideas were run there and then with immediate feedback too. I was provided with lots of verbal and written information relating to the surgical procedures available to me. I have been able to explain and show family everything easily and make an informed decision on the next steps with no hesitation due to her excellent service.
Thank you Iona.
Profile
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon with a full time NHS practice based in Morriston Hospital, Swansea. The Swansea- based spinal service geographically serves the population of South West Wales from Bridgend to Aberystwyth.
I grew up in Llantrisant, South Wales and I was educated through the Welsh language education system. I subsequently moved to London and graduated from St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1996 with MBBS and BMedSci(Hons) degrees.
I completed my basic surgical training in 1997 in Oxford, gaining my MRCS certification. I then pursued orthopaedic specialisation firstly in New Zealand and then Scotland, before commencing a 6 year orthopaedic training rotation back in Oxford in 2002.
In 2006, following my FRCS(Orth) examinations, I chose to sub-specialise my further training purely in spinal surgery. My spinal fellowships were based in Oxford, Nottingham and Sydney, Australia, totalling two years.
I returned from Sydney in 2008 to take up my first consultant position at Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham. The opportunity to be a founding member of the newly-opened spinal unit in Swansea brought me back to my homeland of South Wales in 2011.
I have experience of delivering fully comprehensive spinal care, from cervical spine to sacrum. I offer clinical consultations, spinal expert witness services, spinal surgery, spinal injections and spinal cementing procedures along with appropriate aftercare. I have experience of spinal problems relating to physical training having been a keen sportswoman (Women’s captain St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Rowing Club, member of Lea Rowing club, Women’s vice-captain St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Squash club and member of Bicester Hockey club while training in Oxford).
