Mr B Roy Chaudhary 2023-10-06 Person 5 5 0

My spinal problem manifested itself quite suddenly when I was a healthy, active 78 year old woman living alone and very much in control of my busy life. Following an MRI, it came as a shock to be told that my condition required major spinal surgery if I wished to avoid the possibility of needing a wheelchair. Luckily I was referred to Roy Chaudhary at The Manor, Oxford. It was very convenient to have an evening appointment as my son was able to drive me without needing to take leave. Mr Chaudhary was very approachable, kind and understanding, but pulled no punches regarding the prognosis; surgery; risks and probable outcome. He explained everything, pointing out the problem visible on my MRI and how he would repair the damage and reduce the risk of further deterioration. I had no hesitation in deciding to have the surgery asap and was admitted to the Manor within few weeks. I was in hospital for eight days where I received excellent care. Mr Chaudhary came to see me most days and it soon became clear to me that he and his team were extremely well-liked and respected by all the staff. I had no problems with the wound which has healed well. My post-op consultation (again in the evening) also went well and I am hoping to be back to my old self very soon.
