Mr George Spink

Written by a private patient at Hull Royal Infirmary

The past year has been incredibly challenging for me after my motorcycle accident. From the beginning of April 2023 until the end of October 2023, I was misdiagnosed with muscle damage and neck wear and tear. Frustrated by the lack of progress, I sought a second opinion from Mr Spink privately at the end of October 2023. Within half an hour, including an X-ray, Mr Spink confirmed that I had a broken odontoid on my C2 vertebra. During our consultations, Mr Spink provided clear explanations of all the treatment options. Your honesty about what to expect from each option was greatly appreciated. We agreed that surgery—specifically C1/C2 fixation—was the best course of action for my condition. I underwent the operation five weeks ago, and my recovery is progressing remarkably well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your skill, advice, and professionalism. Your management of my case and the successful outcome have left me truly thankful. While I hope I won’t require any future surgeries (touch wood), if I do, you will undoubtedly be my first choice. Thank you once again, Mr. Spink. Warm regards, Brian

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mr Spink Thanks to the surgery you did on my neck, (May 2023) I feel I have a new life. I sleep better I'm running , swimming , gardening and very importantly to me I am playing my trombone without any pain. I rarely take any painkillers, probably no more than anyone else my age. So really, I just wanted to say thank you for the surgery, your advice your professionalism I could not be happier with how you managed my case and the outcome.

I visited George Spink at Spire Hull after a referral from NHS. I have had a long standing lower back problem that has gone undiagnosed. George diagnosed the problem and offered different alternative treatments. We have made a choice and now can start on a journey of recovery. Many thanks

I would highly recommend Mr George Spink he explained everything to me to make sure I fully understood the surgery I was to have and answered any questions I asked thoroughly , he gave me time to think and to get back to his secretary to arrange things if I wanted to proceed (which I did), the surgery went well, and I am recovering well

I had a number of appointments with Mr Spink, during which he explained fully what my condition consisted of and the various treatment options available. Having explained in detail the procedures and the potential outcomes, both positive and negative, I was able to make an informed choice about the treatment I wanted. Having been in considerable debilitating pain for months and with simple tasks becoming increasingly difficult to achieve I elected for a surgical procedure. Mr Spink was able to reassure me with his knowledge and confidence that my decision was valid and the procedure was successful. Mr Spink offered excellent aftercare and follow up. I would say his manner and attentiveness is second to none. I feel eternally grateful to have received his care and expertise.
