I have recently had surgery with Mr Bourne after suffering for three years of horrendous back pain .
All I can say is thank you so very much for giving me my life back , my back feels absolutely amazing now.
It’s so brilliant that I can now slowly start getting back to the gym and swimming things I have desperately missed for the last 3 years.
I highly recommend Mr Bourne , he is extremely professional and listens to his patients treating them all as individuals.
Thank you again so very much.

Thanks to Mr James Bourne I have now returned from the brink of 'disability' to 'able bodied', during one overnight stay in Euxton Hall Hospital. Very Grateful.

Thanks John, it was great to see you back and looking so well. Spinal surgery is really dependent on the whole team. Good outcomes come when we all work together well. Patient, surgeon, anaesthetist, pre-op team, ward team, theatre staff, radiographers, radiologist, with a shared goal. I am so glad to have been one of the team that has helped. I will be sure to let the whole team at Euxton Hall know. Best wishes, J

From my initial consultation (explaining my 10yrs of back pain, sciatica, numb/cold feet and significantly reducing mobility ) through to post operation, Mr Bourne gave my wife and I great confidence in the decision to have major back surgery(4hours) explaining the MRI results, the procedure, risks and probable positive outcome. He had great interactive listening and humour skills whist maintaining an effective professional stance. We have been putting this decision off for many years as the symptoms got worse. Mr Bournes explanations and confidence made my decision so easy.
Mr Bourne chatted to me immediately before my operation and the morning after(so valuable to me to know the outcome). He informed me, in his friendly manner, that ‘excellent decompression was achieved’ and discharged me 18hours after returning from the operation.
I could immediately stand upright(first time in 6 years), feel my feet warm and without numbness, no sciatica and was able to walk out of Euxton Hall(excellent hospital).
Mr Bourne(Jim), sincere thanks for giving me a future well-being uplift and providing my wife and I with such a positive active life expectancy. You are a credit to your extremely important profession.

Mr Bourne was excellent, really helpful when I needed somebody to give me a pathway for assessment as I was struggling to get this elsewhere. He was kind, listened and thorough in his medical knowledge and his assessment of my pain. Whilst I still don't know the cause of my pain and am undertaking further investigations, I would be totally assured if I needed to go back to Mr Bourne. I can only recommend.

Response from Mr James Bourne
Thanks for taking the time to post feedback, and for your kind words. It is horrible to be in pain, and natural to seek a cause and solution for it. It can also be massively frustrating trying to navigate health services which seem to become more and more complex as time goes on and with ongoing "drives" for efficiency and minimising resource use within the NHS. My first instinct is to try and help within my field of expertise, but failing that I do try to plot a course to try and help. Thanks for letting me know that this has been helpful to you. Best wishes, J

Mr Bourne is a wonderful and skilled surgeon. He has a great sense of humour and is very easy to talk with. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my mobility back.
Every good wish,
