Mr George Spink

Written by a NHS patient at Hull Royal Infirmary

I found Mr.Spink to be an excellent consultant who gave time for me to dictate my not inconsiderable spinal problems history both in his specialised area and other spinal areas I have trouble with. He listened and had obviously read my historical notes which sadly does not always happen with some medical appointments. He asked about current problems in detail then explained about past scan results and future needs for further MRI scans which he would order. He said he would also write to my GP about the need for a neurological consultation and my current and future position. In short I was extremely happy with my treatment and the knowledge about my problem which he gave me.

Talked about my sciatica. Me Spink listened and was very empathetic. We reviewed my MRI scans and he carefully explained the issues I had with my lower back. The only issue I had is the lack of detailed discussion about the options going forward. I would have liked to discuss the options .... as my back is still painful and I don’t really feel that I’ve made any progress. Maybe this was my fault for not explaining fully what impact the sciatica was having on my life.

Having had 2 consultations with Mr Spink over the past 18 months. He has been very supportive & has understood my situation and how best to advise and direct me for the best possible course of treatment. I would highly recommend Mr Spink.

My first appointment with Mr George Spink was on 14 October 2020 at the East Riding Community Hospital, Beverley to review my MRI scan I had on the 20 September 2020. Mr Spink was a very pleasant caring person and made feel at ease. He showed me the MRI Scan and very clearly explained my spinal problem due to C5/6 discs bulging into my Spinal cord. He also carried out physical examination on my hands and felt that the pain in my hands could be due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome so he would arrange for me to have test for it which I had on 16 November 2020. He said that the MRI scan showed no trapped nerves that could account for the constant pain in my left shoulder and arm so he would recommend to my GP to arrange for the necessary treatment for this. Mr Spink phoned me on 5 January 2021 and said he would recommend to my GP for me to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon about my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which I am waiting to be arranged. I fully appreciate very much what Mr Spink has done for me and also the NHS Staff.
