I had experienced neck and lower back pains sporadically for over a year which I did not take seriously because it was not consistent (in part due to the advice from my GP). I was gifted a bungee jump experience which actually exacerbated the neck pain, but also caused pins and needles type sensations down my arms and my legs. At times I was unable to feel my legs and even walking was a task. There was an array of sensations throughout my body that did not feel normal. The last three fingers on both hands had numbness and the pain was getting worse, with limited neck movement. I was introduced to Mr Pereira on recommendation from a friend of a friend at The London Clinic. After the initial consult I was asked to book in an MRI, Mr Pereira tried to help me get this MRI through the NHS as it was urgent but unfortunately due to the pandemic, MRI appointments were scarce. I ended up paying for my scan after an incident where I fell. Within 2 days, Mr Pereira called me with the results and told me I would need to get spinal surgery quite urgently due to a disc prolapse and spinal compression caused by the bungee jump. He kept my best interests in my mind as he contacted his colleagues and submitted me in for emergency surgery within 2 days at St George's Hospital. After the surgery, I saw immediate relief in my legs, and arms. I was finally able to walk without pain and my arms were 90% back to normal. Mr Pereira ensured he saw me through the whole process and aftercare. I am so grateful for his quick action and recommendations, especially considering there was serious risk of paralysis. It's a testament to Mr Pereira and his colleagues/team who dealt with my op. I cannot thank him enough for helping me with this. I would recommend Mr Pereira wholeheartedly. Whether you are seeing him privately or not, he is absolutely committed to helping his patients with optimal results.
