I have seen Mr Paremain several times over the past 20 years. He has replaced both hips 20 and 16 years ago respectively. They are both still as good as new. Latterly I have suffered lower back pain and have had epidural steroid injections which have helped a lot. After more than 32 years full time hands on nursing with a great deal of lifting in the early days my back was not in good condition so surgery not advised. He has always been friendly courteous and kind. Knows exactly what is best and gets on with whatever investigations and treatment is needed. I can recommend him without hesitation and often do.

I suffered a herniated L5/S1 disc in May 2017 and was virtually incapacitated by Feb 18. I had been on max strength and dose co-codamol, gabapentin, physio, steroid injections and was still in agony. After multiple A&E visits to the Royal Surrey, a consultant gave me Mr Paremain's name and said he was the man to talk to about back problems. I contacted his private secretary and made an appointment for the next working day (Monday). I had to be wheeled in to his Nuffield office as by this point, I couldn't support myself (I was only 35) and after looking at the MRI scan I brought with me, he agreed I needed an operation and he would do it on the NHS. (The same operation was about £7-8k privately. ) I was wheeled next door to the RSCH to be admitted immediately and 4 days later, I had surgery. Discharged the following day and it literally changed my life. I only saw Mr Paremain twice; once at that first consultation and once while I was waiting for surgery and whilst he is not the most chatty or personable, he was sympathetic to my desperation and recognised the need for surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Paremain and I would shake his hand if I ever saw him again as he gave me my life back.

Last year I herniated discs in my back whilst working as an HCA in a nursing home. I was in a lot of pain, could hardly walk and when I did I had to have support , found it difficult to drive, sit, stand , lie down, wasn't sleeping as the discs were causing pressure on my cauda equina nerve which in turn caused bladder issues and sciatic nerve issues which caused a lot of leg pain. Life was pretty grim. I was fortunate enough to be referred to Mr Paremain who , from my initial consultation with him , immediately put my mind at rest and reassured me that my condition could be improved and that I would be able to regain my mobility, dignity and independence. At all times he was supportive, empathetic and always very honest with me about what to expect from the surgery that he would perform, what the after effects and recovery period would be and what the limitations to my future mobility/day to day activities would be. Once I was admitted for surgery Mr Paremain came to see me and reconfirmed what would happen during the surgery and what to expect immediately after and over the coming few weeks. He listened to my fears and reassured me. After the surgery he came to see me and again was attentive and reassuring. I knew exactly what to expect from my recovery as Mr Paremain had explained things so clearly to me and my recovery pretty much followed what he had explained. One of the biggest reliefs for me was to wake up after surgery and be free of the awful leg pain. I had a fantastic physio who worked with me for 3 to 4 months after the surgery , I helped myself by losing weight, swimming 5 mornings a week and sticking to the exercises given to me by my physio. I have now returned to work, can join in activities with my family and friends without being in constant pain or shuffling around and have regained my confidence and independence. I cannot praise Mr Paremain and his team highly enough.

I went to see Mr Paremain at the end of march 2021, I had a trapped nerve in my leg which had been irating myself since after giving birth and depleting my mental health. I spoke with him on a consultantation with MRI results (which I had done prior to seeing him) he could see that my L4/5 disc was protruding. I was given 3 options, physio, temporary spinal block which had a 50% chance of success (forgotten technical term) or a disecetomy with a 90% chance of success. After careful consideration from myself I had chosen the disecetomy. I knew all the risks as I was given a web link to Mr Paremains website. I was then booked a few weeks later on the 8th of April 2021 for the surgery. Apon the surgery everything ran smoothly, spoken to both the surgeon (Mr Paremain himself) and the anaesthetist. I was assured that I was in the right hands. Woke up from surgery and instant relief, no more leg pain....which I was instantly so relieved. Two discs were shaven down to release the nerve. I saw Mr Paremain later that day and had spoken about how it was the best decision that was done. 6 weeks later (today) seen Mr Paremain for the last time and the results are astonishing, it feels like I never had this problem to begin with. The wound has heeled beautifully and left the smallest scar. The care I had received was very professional with my best interest at heart! I completely trusted Mr Paremain and that he completely listened to what I needed to better my life. Thank you for the help you have me to get my life back on track!

After being palmed off by my own GP for months I ended up in the care of Mr Parmain! I cannot fault him at all, he was straight to the point at what was wrong and what surgery I needed and I had it done within 12hrs of meeting him! I honestly feel like I’ve been given a new lease of life and I only ha e this man to thank for that.
