I had C5/6 cervical disc replacement surgery performed by Mr Pereira at The London Clinic in May 2018. Firstly I was struggling to accept I actually needed surgery to decompress my spinal cord (since my symptoms were very minimal), and secondly I was finding it very hard to decide between fusion (ACDF) and disc replacement. I had been advised by a number of people to seek out a neurosurgeon for cervical spine surgery rather than an orthopaedic surgeon and that's why I chose Mr Pereira. He could not have been more helpful (and patient!) in assisting me in making my decision and putting me at my ease. Two months down the line I am making great progress, healing well and am very pleased I went ahead with disc replacement surgery. I can't recommend Mr Pereira highly enough, not least for his obvious surgical ability, but also for his approachability and reassuring nature. Many thanks indeed to Mr Pereira and his team.
