Mr B Roy Chaudhary

Written by a NHS patient at The Manor Hospital, Oxford

I don't normally bother doing reviews. But when you receive outstanding health care like I did from Mr Chaudhary, I wanted to make sure that others could benefit as well. Spent a lot of time explaining my condition and options with me. And also went on make sure I had no worries or issues going forward. And decided to keep me under review for a few extra months to be extra sure

BACKGROUND: Three months' suffering with niggling to moderate pain in my left arm and scapula. Under the treatment of a good osteopath. Overnight on February 28th, 2022 catastrophe. Woken with extreme pain in the left shoulder and arm, which over the next 24 hours progressed to even more extreme pain in the left with more worryingly, pins and needles, numbness and ultimately near paralysis of the right arm and hand. DIAGNOSIS: A number of visits to GP and A&E resulted in some morphine after 36 hours and an MRI after 60 hours. Referred to the Spinal Clinic at The NOC on 2nd March, where Mr Sharma diagnosed a bad prolapsed disc at C7/T1. He advised surgery asap, and on Thursday I was informed a slot was booked for Friday morning 4th March. THE SURGERY: Met Mr B Roy Chaudhary, aka Roy, for the first time and was immediately impressed with his approach and manner. I have met a number of surgeons in my time, but Roy stands out in his relaxed yet authoritative manner. He immediately instills trust and reassurance in you. I understand that he had to fight hard to get me on the emergency list that morning, and I am grateful for his efforts, as I firmly believe that it was his personal evaluation of my condition that enabled me to have the surgical procedure that day. I woke up in recovery with no pain in my left arm, and albeit weak, good movement in my right hand and arm. I saw Roy shortly after and he was very pleased with both the procedure and progress. RECOVERY: I had 4 days in The John Radcliffe Hospital where the care was superb, and Roy visited me every day I was there and, was very encouraging about the progress I was making. I now face several months of hard physio to fully recover the strength and movement in my right arm. I actually played the piano 7 days post-op, and it wasn't that bad!! ROY: I have a 2 inch scar at the base of my throat, which is remarkably almost invisible, through which this genius somehow sorted my dysfunctional spine into a condition where I have the prospect of a fully normal life. So, I owe this expert everything. There is absolutely nothing I can say or suggest about improving the way Roy works and operates. I am no expert, but I can assure you, that in my view, and what I have subsequently read about him, he is the best surgeon in his field in this country, and quite possibly, the world. He is the best of humanity.

I hesitated for ages before having this lumbar decompression operation. Nerve root blocks stopped working and the pain level steadily increased so I started to consider surgery. Mr Chaudhary came highly recommended so I went to see him. He explained very clearly the options and followed up with a letter to my GP. Amazingly, I could understand it and it accurately represented our conversation. Some months later I took the surgical route. I’ve had no nerve pain since, and it’s now six weeks on. As well as his skill, I really appreciated Mr Chaudhary’s informal approach and his clear explanations as well as his willingness to discuss any concerns (unfounded) I had post-op. This has been a very positive experience which has given me back a normal life. This is important at my age of 76 years ! His administration team (Mandy) deserve 5 stars as well.

A last minute cancellation meant that I was transferred to Mr. Chaudhary's list earlier than originally scheduled. He was extremely good at talking to me on the ward both before and after surgery. As it was spinal decompression I am glad this was the case as I was immediately relieved of the pain in my back. There is still, after 3 weeks, some residual sciatic pain which I believe should ease as internal swelling subsides.

From my first consultation with Mr Chaudhary I felt completely confident that he listened carefully to me and understood my problems. He was patient, understanding and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. He took the time to explain thoroughly my scans one by one and what resolutions could be offered along with the potential outcome. His secretary Mandy was equally excellent and always liaised and responded quickly to me. The Manor Hospital looked after me extremely well throughout my stay and the outcome from my surgery exceeded my expectations from the moment I woke up and has changed my life. I cannot thank Mr Chaudhary and his team enough including Mandy for everything they have done for me to make this whole process go smoothly with an outcome that is better than I had ever expected. I would without questions recommend Mr Chaudhary and The Manor Hospital.
