Mr Greg Rudol

Written by a patient at Leeds General Infirmary

Mr Rudol is a very likeable individual. His professionalism and attention to details is exceptionally admirable. However the system does not give him the total assistance that he needs. To day I had a second apointment that was a four hour session for me (home and return) but only a 15 minute slot for him. The good news he had to tell me could be bettter dealth with a phone call or a dictated note in post/email. Take the dictaphone off him and replace it with a note pad. The excellent letter he wrote to my GP unfortunately got filed and I only found out accidentally while looking for my patient note on line six weeks later. No one followed up the bullet pointed actions to take. To cap it all Mr Rudol bravely saw me without case notes. He has a fantastic power of recall but that should not be an excuse for the missing file. Computerisation of patient notes will go a long way to resolve this. But make sure the system is compatible with the system used by GPs and other hospitals.

The human answer to the Super vet! What a talented individual, always smiling, always understanding. He makes you feel like the only patient, and genuinely cares about your outcome. Surgery 7 weeks ago on lumbar spine, and the difference is amazing! My legs actually feel as if they are mine! Not felt this for some years. Still a way to go, but confident that my 6 year old back will be fit and well for years to come. Thanks from my heart for the wonderful service and care bestowed on me.

I have been under the care of Mr Rudol for the last two years since I had spinal surgery on my lower back. I have found Mr ruldol very caring and I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me. I could not walk without a stick for two years and in a lot of pain, I am now walking without a stick and back dancing, and have now got my life back. thank you once again Mrs Eileen Nicholls.

Mr Rudol is a very committed , dedicated, emphatic, compassionate caring surgeon. Mr Rudol has excellent communication skills, I met with him on May 8th 2018, he used my MRI scan as a visual aid and his excellent interpersonal skills to explain to me the surgery I required and the risks associated with this. We discussed my best hopes and worst fears, Mr Rudol really listened , he acknowledge my many levels of pain and distress. I was impressed with his genuineness and honesty, it really installed confidence for me and my husband regarding 'the way forward'. I had decompression and Instrumented Infusion surgery on the 22nd May, Because I knew what to expect, this assisted my recovery. Mr Rudol is a very talented surgeon, my Fusion is a work of art, it resembles two tiny hands wrapped around my thoracic spine to protect it, which is in essence what I hoped it to look like, given that is the job it's expected to do for the rest of my life. Mr Rudol visited me everyday I was in Leeds General Hospital, always with a smile on his face and listened carefully to 'what I had to say', asked appropriate questions and always gave me daily feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Rudol, if any of my family members required spinal surgery, My best hope is they would get Mr Rudol as their consultant
