I can recommend Mr George Spink without hesitation. He diagnosed my condition and explained his observations very clearly to me. I was under no pressure to go ahead with the operation and was given as much information as I needed and as much time as I wanted, to decide between alternative treatments. The operation went perfectly to plan despite having to work through the scar tissue of a fusion done 15 years previously. I was satisfied with the after care consultations and felt able at all times to ask whatever questions I had, and was made to feel just as relevant after the intervention as I was before it. In the event of a future deterioration of my spine I would have no hesitation to seek his services again.

Mr Spink made me feel relaxed and at ease from the minute of introduction, he listened to everything I wanted to say and asked lots of relevant questions, he then proceeded to leave no stone unturned to find the possible cause of my problem. He fully explained everything along the way and assured me of open communication for the future. An altogether positive and productive experience.

From our very first meeting Mr Spink listened very attentively about my symptoms and concerns I had with my bulging and then Herniated disc. Everything was explained to me from my MRI scans along with various options and treatments going forward. I felt I was in very good hands and I would thoroughly recommend Mr Spink as a Neurosurgeon.

I was diagnosed with a trapped nerve in my neck and referred to Mr Spink. From the first consultation I was given all of the treatment options in clear terms. Mr Spink went into every detail of my condition and was totally honest in what to expect from the available options. It was agreed that the best option for my condition was to have surgery which given the location in my neck felt a little bit daunting. I was made fully aware of the potential complications and reassured by Mr Spink that the outcome of the surgery would be successful. The stay in hospital was excellent, the care I received from the team during my stay was beyond my expectations. The follow up appointments with Mr Spink were kept to simple terms my recovery was reviewed and discussed openly. I am happy to say that my surgery has given me the ability to return to a normal life. I would highly recommend Mr Spink and his team.
