I initially saw Mr Spink via Zoom at the end of January as I was suffering from severe sciatic pain in my left leg. Mr Spink was recommended to me by my physiotherapist. The appointment was on time and Mr Spink was professional, friendly empathetic regarding my pain. He ran through my MRI results and explained what the problem was (large left L5/S1 disc prolapse with nerve root compression). He understood the amount of pain I was in and ran through in detail the different treatment options with me including medication, injections and surgery and he covered the risks, benefits and limitations of each. He also directed me to his website for further information. We agreed that surgery would be the best way forward and this was arranged very quickly due to the amount of pain I was in. Mr Spink came to see me the night before my surgery to see how I was and he put my mind at ease. He also saw me again the morning of my surgery. He was friendly, down to earth and reassured me when I was feeling nervous about having spinal surgery. The surgery itself went well and I am in less pain than before my surgery. It is still early days and I am still recovering and having physiotherapy however I am seeing progress which is good. I really appreciate what Mr Spink has done for me and would definately recommend him.
