Roy is quite simply outstanding, as a clinician, a surgeon and a communicator. He could not have been more comprehensive, thoughtful and thorough in all aspects of his practice. As a fellow healthcare professional, I have huge respect for the manner in which he approached my back pain and functional limitations. Nothing was too much trouble, and even though he could have taken 'shortcuts' in regards to explanations and communication, that was never an issue. In terms of outcome, the transformation has literally been life-changing - I awoke from the procedure and he walked me around the recovery room. It was the first time in months that I could move without significant pain, and I haven't had a single symptom since then. Follow up has been exemplary, and my family, friends and colleagues have all testified to just how much more comfortable I look. I honestly can't thank him enough.

As a surgeon myself performing microsurgery, I spent a great amount of time and care in selecting the best person to perform such a delicate procedure on me as a patient. Let me assure you that you could not be in better hands. I did not know Mr Chaudhary before the initial consultation although had suffered a number of years with localised back pain. I had consulted another specialist locally although didn't feel that they fully listened or were interesting in me as a patient (rather than just the pathology). My symptoms suddenly worsened and the resulting sciatica was quite disabling as a doctor, as a husband, and father to three young children. My GP was not interested in a referral (in fairness back pain is a common presentation and most cases are treated conservatively, although I knew mine was present for more than 3 months and was worsening) so I had to seek private healthcare as I knew that without early treatment, the prognosis is much more guarded. Mr Chaudhary was remarkable and he treated me with care and compassion (sometimes which is sadly lacking in these pressing times). Clearly an expert in his field, he quickly got to grasps with the issues, both medically and saw the impact on my life; we went through the details of the options. Without prejudice, he helped guide me in making the best decision that would fit my circumstances. On the day of surgery, everything went like clockwork and his anaesthetic colleague (Dr Graham Barker) did a wonderful job in keeping me comfortable. My result was immediate and I was standing within an hour, off painkillers in 2 days and walking 10k within 4 days. It is not an understatement that Mr Chaudhary has changed my life. Of course, no surgery is without risk or complication, and every person is an individual and their health journey may be different. At least you could rest assured that you took the best chance with a highly skilled surgeon and downright decent human being.

I have to say when I first saw Dr Chaudhary I was in immense pain and feeling a little unheard. He was excellent and I believe (or he certainly made it fell like!) he actually cared and was willing to be proactive in my care.

I have received excellent care and treatment from from this Doctor, he was able to give me realistic advice in a very caring manner. Although I was very anxious about having surgery Dr Chaudhary put me at ease and gave me plenty of opportunity to ask questions and talk through the procedure. Dr Chaudhary did a follow up visit in recovery to check on my progress and to explain that everything went ok, this was such a relief and reassuring. I left hospital the same day and felt amazing as I was pain free and able to walk, I am now 2 weeks post surgery and feel really good. I’ve stopped taking all pain relief and getting stronger with the help of physio. I am incredibly grateful to this Dr and amazing team who have given me the chance to get my life back to normal.
