Mr John Leach

Written by a patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

After many months of suffering a chronic headache and having various treatments including steroids and pain management ; I was finally referred to Mr Leach. He assessed the scans of my neck as a C1/C2 problem. I was advised by him of the options and risks of a procedure which would involve tidying up this area and fitting some plates and bolts to hold them together. Due to holidays ,there was a delay for the operation but by the end of September ( three weeks later) the wait was worth it and the headache had completely gone. Throughout the whole period and the subsequent two annual follow up X/Rays and consultations I have nothing but gratitude for Mr Leach's excellent treatment and attention for my problem. Now two years later , apart from a minor limited neck movement ( which he told me would happen ) I am a happy headache free eighty one year old. Thank you John.

I found Mr Leach to be very informative and understanding. He explained everything to me to make sure i was fully aware of everything including the risks. He came to see me the morning after the operation to see how i was and if i had any questions. The operation was a success and i would highly recommend Mr Leach.

Great surgeon but aftercare and bedside manner needs working on!

Mr John Leach is a good neurosurgeon but his aftercare needs working on! I felt that once my surgery was over he wasn’t really interested in listening to any problems I had. I think when he was a junior doctor he must have been off sick when it came to learning about bedside manners! I thought all doctors had a duty of care to all their patients. I thought wrong!
