Mr Chitnavis was the consultant and surgeon for my recent (lumbar decompression) operation. He was excellent from start to finish and I recommend him highly. He is very thorough, considerate and skilful. My symptoms were quite severe sciatic pains, which made walking very difficult and painful. Mr Chitnavis diagnosed this as being due to spinal stenosis and this was confirmed by an MRI scan. Mr Chitnavis listened very carefully to the symptoms that I described, was really good at answering any questions that I asked, and was very thorough during the whole process. I never felt that I was being steered into having surgery. He gave me sufficient information, clearly and straightforwardly, about the pros and cons of surgery and about other possibilities, so I felt I knew about both the possible benefits and the risks of surgery. He also involved my wife in the various discussions we had about how the condition had progressed and we appreciated that a great deal. I decided to go for surgery, which was performed by Mr Chitnavis. The outcome was terrific. A few hours after the operation I could walk normally without pain and since then I have made a full and speedy recovery. Both before and after surgery, Mr Chitnavis was very attentive and caring in his approach. Mr Chitnavis is a very compassionate and considerate person. I felt safe under his care, and thoroughly recommend him.
