For the last two years my mum has been in terrible pain and housebound due to having severe Spinal Stenosis. She met Mr Christopher Derham, who was truthful, understanding and professional towards my mums predicament, as she was worried about having surgery at the age of 80, with other health ailments and a husband living with Dementia, but took the decision to have the Decompression surgery on the 17th November 2022. On the day of the surgery Mr Derham's team were impeccable, everyone was attentive and understanding, doctor named 'Mo' checked everything. As my mum was going to theatre Mr Derham came up to me and said 'it will be ok', this was so unexpected and so rewarding, that even being as busy as he was, that he took the time to reassure us. The surgery went according to plan, Mr Derham saw my mum when she was on the ward the following day, she stated she was not experiencing excruciating pain and it was like a miracle, to which Mr Derham gave her the 'thumbs up' and made my mums day! She is now recoving well and wishes she had had the surgery earlier. As a family, we want to thank everyone at the LGI, prior, during and after the surgery for everything they did and do on a daily basis, especially Mr Derham, who is highly respected by those he works with. If I ever need such surgery, he would be the first person I would contact and would like to say 'Thank You' so much to him and his team. Ms Kalvinder Degun on behalf of my mum, Mrs Harbans Padam
