Mr Chaudhary was selected by the Neurosurgery Senior Review team to carry out my Left C6 / C7 open foramintomy and Left C7 nerve route decompression because of his immensely impressive skills and a reputation built in recent years of being an outstanding neurosurgeon. Mr Chaudhary is an outstanding communicator. I had a pre-op assessment and a supplementary meeting where he could not have been more clear and open about the operation itself, the likely outcome and the risks. He was extremely friendly and put me at ease throughout both meetings. His willingness to go into whatever detail I wished to discuss was so much appreciated and I was totally clear on every aspect of the procedure and likely outcome. The surgery took place on the 1st, December and my brief discussion with Mr Chaudhary on the day of the surgery was so reassuring as was the discussion with the anaesthetist. I could have been treated better. My treatment during my stay at The Nuffield was fine. Although I suffered sever pain for three weeks following the surgery I am pleased to say that there has been a noticeable improvement in my neck and shoulder areas. I was clearly advised that there would be significant pain postop. As of this week the postoperative pain has vanished completely. Today 27th, January 2021, I received a telephone call from Mr Chaudhary. He was extremely keen to understand how I was feeling and how I felt the operation had helped with my severe neck and shoulder pain. I explained that the scar was virtually impossible to see. He and I agreed that the surgery had been successful and once again his explanation and overview was outstanding. I cannot thank Mr Chaudhary enough for performing this surgery, also it is remarkable how quickly he made the decision to carry out the operation. Previously I had been waiting for almost three years for any action to be taken.

Previous to meeting Mr Chaudhary I had been sent to A&E requiring urgent neck surgery to prevent immanent upper and lower limb paralysis. Due to the specialist nature of the surgery required, my hospital urgently referred me to a second hospital who surprisingly treated me poorly and turned me away with an incorrect diagnosis. I subsequently sought a further consultation, where I was again treated unprofessionally, not listened to and was told the surgery I needed was too risky and likely to be unsuccessful. I was left feeling dismissed, unheard, and utterly devastated. I had given up and believed my life as I knew it at 44 years old would be over. Thankfully my family found Mr Chaudhary and I then had the privilege of meeting this remarkable, talented and highly skilled surgeon. From the outset of Mr Chaudhary’s welcome and consultation, he was the consummate professional who took my condition seriously. He listened to me and explained my situation in a way I could understand. He talked me through my options and the risks so I could make an informed, un-rushed decision. Mr Chaudhary made time to discuss my concerns and answer all my questions. I was so relieved to meet a surgeon with such a high level of expertise, empathy and genuine care that it brought me to tears. I finally knew I was in safe hands. I had complete confidence in him, his approach and skills. He genuinely wanted to do the best for me. I cannot adequately convey my relief at the success of the surgery (C5/6 C6/7 ACDF & integrated anterior plate) and the outstanding support provided by all the staff at the Manor Hospital. Particularly the additional support provided by Mr Graham Barker and Mandy (Mr Chaudhary’s secretary) who has always been so helpful throughout. Mr Chaudhary also spoke with me after my surgery and explained everything that had been done. I have been surprised by how well I have been recovering and am so pleased I underwent this surgery with Mr Chaudhary. I highly recommend Mr Chaudhary and can’t praise him enough; he and his team were outstanding, thank you, Demi.

Mr Chaudhary is a very skilled and experienced neuro surgeon. I recently had a revision of a lumbar decompression and cyst excision. Roy explained the various options to me and the risks involved and this was very clearly done so that I understood all the issues. He has a very friendly, pleasant and informal manner which makes you feel at ease and gives you confidence in the judgements and decisions he is making. I rate him very highly both as a skilled professional and as person. I would recommend him to anyone seeking the kind of care and surgery that he specialises in. All the staff at the Manor Hospital were also excellent, very professional, caring and friendly. They worked as a team and it felt they enjoyed working together.

I was referred to Mr Chaudary with several spinal issues as a result of spinal deterioration. I received the very best of support through out the investigation process. After being involved in an Road Traffic Accident, Mt Chaudary advised I would require emergency surgery to correct the issues. I can highly recommend Mr Chaudary and his team, the surgery was a very lengthy process involving the installation of a plate to support C & T levels. the whole team were more than supportive throughout my stay in hospital. The support I have received post op has also been excellent. I do not live in the local vicinity of Oxford but insist on being treated by Mr Chaudary and his team.
