Mr David Cumming 2019-03-15 Person 5 5 0

After five months of great Sciatica driven pain that failed to respond to medication then physio therapy then epidural injection, I was thankfully referred to Mr David Cumming at his outstanding Schoen Clinic in London. David is clearly an a eminently highly skilled and clearly very well respected surgeon in his field. He immediately builds a fantastic rapport with and instills great confidence in his patients. Hi staff and colleagues obviously think the world of him. He took me through my MRI in layman’s terms, discussed the potential remedial options so we could agree the best way to treat this horrendous affliction. He balances surgical needs with other aspects going on in the patients life. He was exceedingly empathetic around the equally important psychological aspects on me and my family. He makes one feel they are the most important person in the world. His team of anaesthetists, nurses, pre and post op nurses and secretarial support delivered just the highest level of care and attention as well being the friendliest people you could hope to meet.The operation itself was exactly as he outlined to me and two weeks on I am feeling fantastic. I was given oodles of information all along the way and the ongoing analysis is indicative of the very high standards this man operates to. As well as practicising his amazing skills David is working in many areas, is on various boards to pioneer, champion and advance improvements and best practice in all aspects of spinal surgery. I can never thank Mr Cumming enough for the amazing turnaround in my physical and mental health. I could not have been in better hands so I have no suggestions as to how he could possibly improve on what he is already doing.I would/will highly recommend him.
