Mr George Spink

Written by a private patient at Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital

After Mr Spink carried out a cervical discectomy/fusion between C2/3 I finally feel as though I've got my life back, thanks to Mr Spink I no longer have pain down my arms and the headache I have had continuously for 7 months has now gone. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his specialty, I have no doubt he will be able to help.

From my initial meeting with George I had the clear impression of a man who not only knew his business (and thereby, spinally, mine) but could also communicate that with a clarity and confidence that reassured me that I would be in safe hands. Subsequently I went on to an MRI scan and afterwards a spinal neurological process due to Spondylolisthesis. Prior to the procedure (3 hrs; general anesthetic) I was experiencing severe (and increasingly so) pain in my right leg. Now, four weeks on and post-procedurally, I have just completed a 14,500 Fitbit steps day - with no pain at all. The following day I managed only 13,500 steps..!! I do have some tingling in my calf still, but am fully aware that this is due to pre- and procedural nerve bruising that should, over time, improve. It is doing, albeit slowly, so I am confident it will continue so to do with the physiotherapeutic oversight I am also receiving.

Excellent treatment from diagnosis to minimal invasive surgery on a bulging disc and associated sciatic nerve pain.

Mr Spink is extremely personable and takes great care in listening to your issues. He is very thorough in his explanation of the treatment or surgery planned and addresses all potential risks associated with it. His surgical skills were excellent during my operation and have had an extremely good result. I would recommend him to anyone.
