Mr Karoly M David 2020-06-22 Person 5 5 0

My colleague who is just 21 had an unusual defect in his brain which compressed his spine and over the last year it took away his balance, ability to walk more than a few steps and his happy demeanour due to the amount of pain he was in. Once he was referred to Queens he was seen quickly by Mr. David and operated on shortly afterwards. Expectations were managed in that the operation should stop any further worsening of symptoms but after 4 months of rehab and a clearly brilliant surgeon and support staff at Queens, he is back at work part time. None of us really expected that to be the outcome and we are all thrilled. Apart from the surgical excellence, Mr. David was very approachable and really listened to his patient (who also has a learning disability) and one everyone over with his honest and clear summary of cause/approach and probable outcomes. Thank you to Mr. David and his firm- my colleagues words today were: ' Thank you for giving me a second chance. I no longer struggle. I'm not in pain, I'm just so happy'.
