Dr Bala reviewed my mri and within 4 days I had emergency surgery on my back. I went from being in agonising pain and barely walking to getting my life back and returning to work after months of excruciating pain, I really can't thank Dr Bala and his team enough, im now going to be able to push my grandson in his pram and not being pushed in a wheelchair

On meeting Mr PURUSHOTHAMAN for the first time I was put at ease with his pleasant and friendly manner. At that time i was in so much pain in my legs that i could hardly walk, the pain had been getting progressively worse. After the examinations and the tests i was advised that i needed the lower discs in my spine fusing together with a small metal cage around for support. I decided to go ahead with the surgery with a little trepidation about how it would affect my mobility, and one year later I have never felt better with no adverse effects. The treatment from Mr PURUSHOTHAMAN and the rest of the staff has been 1st class

Lovely Gentleman.Was seen regarding my back.This Consultant has done so much for me in the short time I've been under his care,As I was under the care of Rheumatology in SRH and everything was promised but nothing ever occurred.I would only say that the down side was I received treatment which worked wonders for me and today being told Thiers nothing more that can be done for me until I am in severe pain.for me if something works it should be constantly available,as its quite a kick in the teeth.when I was hoping for another treatment.
