In 2009 Mr Spink operated on my C7 prolapsed disc which had caused pain and numbness in both arms. I had been suffering this for many years and had progressively worsened until Mr Spink performed the operation. I have not had any pain since that time and It was a life changing experience. In recent months I had developed Sciatica in both legs which an MRI scan revealed I had Stenosis which had caused damage to my sciatic nerves. I asked the GP for a referral to Mr Spink who had impressed me in 2009. The GP advised they could not guarantee which Neuro Surgeon I would see and that the present waiting time for an operation was approximately 12 months. I decided I would go privately and see Mr Spink for whom I have a great deal of respect for his skill and experience. He performed a Laminectomy on 3 of my lumber joints and has greatly improved my condition. For anyone experiencing cervical or lumber problems I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Spink as the first choice as probably the best in his specialism. The only thing I would add is that I was not impressed with the short stay in Hull Spire hospital. I would choose a different hospital if I had my time again. This is no reflection on the services of Mr Spink. Mr Michael Davies York
