I was admitted urgently to St George's Hospital at the start of the Covid lockdown with a bleed on the brain. The care I had was incredible. Had I not been operated on so quicky I would have suffered a stroke or not be here at all. I am very impressed with Dr Erlick Pereira and his team. Jan Hickin the nurse who looked after me following the operation has been incredible with after care phone follow ups. I feel extremely lucky to have had Dr Erlick Pereira and his team on duty when I was sent to St Georges. Their after care is amazing - the advice they give and just being there for questions. St George's should be very proud of the whole team. I would like to thank them all including the team who do follow up MRI scans - again amazing and friendly.

I had a stroke in 2021 and was admitted to St George's Hospital for urgent brain surgery because my brain was swelling. I had part of my skull removed to relieve the swelling and they saved this bone and stored it in my body in the tummy area. After 4 months I had a cranioplasty operation with Mr Pereira to reinstate the bone. This was partially for cosmetic reasons (to improve the shape of my head) but mostly for protection for my brain. Mr Pereira gave me a video consultation pre operation where I asked lots of questions. After that consultation I had confidence in Mr Pereira as he had answered all our questions well and it was easy to understand what would happen. He also was honest about any complications which could arise. I was extremely nervous about the operation but felt like I was in good hands with Mr Pereira and his team. The operation was a success with no complications and I was discharged within approx. A week. I have had a follow up consultation with Mr Pereira where he confirmed that everything had healed nicely and I have therefore been discharged from his care. Ibwould have hesitation in recommending him as he is responsive to his patients concerns and questions and appears to have a lot of experience in Neuro surgery.

I am just back from my follow-up consultation with Mr Pereira after my surgery and would like to share what a great and life-changing experience it has been. Mr Pereira operated me to remove a benign intradural spinal cord tumor just two weeks ago. For four month prior to the surgery I have been suffering from unbearable radiating rib pain, weakness and numbness in my legs and restricted feet motion. After I did MRI - Mr Pereira gave me exhaustive overview about my condition. He explained the risks of further tumor growth and how surgery can help. I was impressed with how detailed and careful Mr Pereira was with describing all the risks and benefits of the surgery. Mr Pereira always invited me to ask any questions I may have and I felt comfortable addressing any smallest doubts. Even though I was terrified by the diagnosis and oncoming surgery, consultation with Mr Pereira have me more confidence and comfort to move ahead. The waiting time for the surgery has been the hardest emotionally, so I hope these comments will help and support others who are about to go through similar experience. I am incredibly happy to share that my surgery went very well and most of the symptoms cleared in the first couple of days. I am now back to normal life apart from sports that will take a bit longer to come back to. I couldn’t imagine the surgery to go smoother than it has. I had my surgery at London Spine Clinic where Mr Pereira came to see me prior to my surgery and then couple more times during five days of my inpatient stay. I spent first night in ICU (as planned for close supervision), managed to sit down on day 2 and stand up on day 3. Every day I felt very well cared of by the nurses and physio therapist. There hasn’t been a time when any of my need hasn’t been addressed by the stuff. Mr Pereira also made a very important extra step for me. Since I am living in London by myself with whole of my family abroad, they were not able to be there with me and were extremely worried. Mr Pereira informed my family that everything went well by phone message, which was a huge relief for them as I couldn’t get access to my own phone for a couple of hours post surgery. I wish everyone to have the same smooth experience as I had with Mr Pereira! I am grateful beyond words for having my normal pain-free life back!

Just a short note to say thank you very much for performing my Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery. You are a remarkable surgeon who has given me a new lease of life. The level of care I received during my four days at the clinic was outstanding and I cannot stress enough on how the team from you the surgeon to the nurses were dedicated 100% to their task and made this procedure a success. I would also like to thank all of the team including the anaesthetist, doctors and surgery nurses and a special mention to the nurses in the Intensive Care Unit Jenny, Jay and Lourdes to name a few who really looked after me. The device was activated on 21 December 2021. Immediately after the procedure even at a low setting I could feel the benefit and I continue to enjoy this incredible improvement in my quality of life. My sincere gratitude
