Mr Narendra Kumar Rath

Written by a patient at Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery

Journeyed from the Isle of Man to Dr Raths clinic at The Walton Centre. He was thorough, friendly, extremely knowledgeable about my condition and explained the problem that I have in layman's terms and even gave me a detailed view of the X-Ray and scans that had been taken and made me feel reassured. He fully explained the options available to me and made various recommendations which would ease my pain. He gave me 2 options, a specific type of injection or ultimately surgery. I have now had the injections which have greatly reduced my pain and increased my mobility. I have since had a telephone consultation with Dr Rath and my case will be reviewed in 6 months. I consider him to be a top man and could not have been in better care.

During the numerous consultations with Dr Rath I was made to feel at ease. Dr Rath explained everything simply and also ensured that he gave me time to ask questions and gave me answers that I felt satisfied with. Dr Rath was kind in his manner and demonstrated a genuine level that of care.

Very approachable and explained the results of my MRI scan concisely. He enabled me to understand the nature of my condition and advised on what steps I should take to minimise any discomfort in the future.

Mr Rath is an excellent surgeon. I recently had a micro discectomy which was an emergency procedure. As a very risky procedure he was happy to answer any question I had but he also made sure to ask if I had anymore to ask even if they were ‘silly’. He is very reassuring and obviously very skilled at what he does. I think it must be very hard to bond with patients but Mr Rath tries really hard to put you at ease. If it was possible to pick surgeons for spinal surgery I would have no qualms in recommending Mr Rath.

I do not hesitate to recommend Mr Rath. I have found him to be extremely professional and felt both confident and comfortable speaking with him. He was very thorough in his examination and provided a high-quality service explaining the detail of my MRI scan in a clear understandable manner. He listened to my questions and answered them to diagnose and treat my back pain efficiently and effectively. Mr Rath offered advice to help manage my pain and a range of treatment options talking through the benefits and risks so that I was fully informed. During his examination Mr Rath identified pain and tenderness in my right leg with swelling; a problem that was not related to my presenting spinal condition and advised me to get this checked out A&E that afternoon. We travelled back to Wales to visit our local hospital where I was diagnosed with a blood clot. Thank you, Mr Rath, for your reassurance, your caring attitude but mostly your professional knowledge. Your advice was invaluable, clots can cause serious health problems and I am aware most fatalities come from a failure to properly diagnose the event rather than a failure to adequately treat it. Without you I would not have started treatment and goodness knows what may have happened! You are a credit to the NHS.
