I have never used private medicine before, but when my spinal stenosis - for treatment of which I had been put on an NHS waiting list - deteriorated further, I was persuaded to go for a consultation with Dr. Roy Chaudhary. He saw me within 4 days of first contact with his secretary , and spent an hour asking questions, and really listening to the answers. He had already obtained the NHS MRI scan I had had some months earlier from the JR Spinal Unit, and explained that I needed an operation as soon as possible. He offered a date less than 3 weeks' later , and then gave us plenty of time to ask our own questions. I went ahead, and the whole experience with him and his anaesthetist, Graham, could not have been made any less daunting. They were both delightful people who clearly loved their highly-skilled professions, and were happy to spell out any possible side- effects, while also instilling a sense of reassurance and trust. My surgery went smoothly, and the immediate result - absence of the dreadful sciatic pain and numbness - totally disappeared! 16 weeks on, I continue with exercises to help some wobbliness and lower back ache, but the improvement has been nothing short of miraculous!! After the surgery, both Roy and Graham came to see me the 2 days I stayed in, and again explained and listened. So yes, I and my family have nothing but gratitude and praise for Roy, his skill, his enthusiasm, and for being such a nice person! Thank you, Roy!!
