I had a multi-level lumbar decompression operation on my spine by Mr Rath done on my birthday - what a present - I am now free of the terrible pain I had been suffering in my legs for a long time. I would recommend Mr Rath to everyone. He explained everything to me very clearly plus what could possibly go wrong. I was quite nervous about the operation but each time I had to see Mr Rath I felt more at ease. The treatment I received before and after the operation has been excellent. I was not very well the first night and the nurses were so kind to me, nothing was too much trouble. Mr Rath's secretary Maureen needs a special thank you as she too reassured me when I needed to ask her a question - or two!! I found all the leaflets and brochures given to me very helpful. The nurse doing the pre-op assessment was very efficient and it was nice to have my husband in the room with me. It was a lovely to surprise when Mr Rath came to the ward twice to see me to make sure I was progressing well. I have never had a follow-up visit from a surgeon before. I felt I could ask him anything as he was so approachable. I have mentioned to my GP that if any of his patients have similar problems to mine that Mr Rath and The Walton Hospital is the best to go to. I did appreciate that I could travel to the Countess of Chester Hospital for my final visit to see Mr Rath as it is a much easier journey for us. It is also good to know that, should I feel I need to speak to Mr Rath about my operation I could phone Maureen and she could help me to either speak to Mr Rath, or see him if necessary. Thank you very much for all that everyone in all the various departments has done for me at The Walton to make my operation such a success, especially Mr Rath.

From day one when I saw him in clinic at the Countess of Chester hospital, I had a good feeling about him, he listened to what I told him, and it went on from there! There were no cutting corners, he was there to help. I arrived home from hospital today,, after an an op, there was not one day he did not come to see me. I met a consultant that was caring and very attentive

This was the first doctor I felt actually listened to me and what I was saying about my symptoms. Left his surgery feeling better and also having a clearer understanding of my pain and whereabouts in my body.

From the moment I first was seen by Mr Rath to the day I was discharged from The Walton Center he treated me with the utmost of respect . He listened to me with my concerns regarding to the condition I had been diagnosed with and explained everything with the utmost of clarity to help me understand what was about to happen with my forthcoming surgery . He made me feel completely at ease and totally confident with the surgical procedure the he was going to perform on my spine . As a result of the MRI Scans on my spine Mr Rath has come across a Syrinx inside my spinal cord and evidence of a possible condition known as Ankylosing Spondylitis . I have since been referred by him to the relevant departments to investigate his findings . After my surgery I was taken to Caton Ward in the Walton Centre and there aren't enough words to thank the staff for the aftercare I received during the three days I was there . On the two days after my surgery Mr Rath telephoned the ward to enquire as to my progress and conveyed his regards via the staff he spoke to . This shows his true professionalism and genuine concern for his patients . I can't thank Mr Rath enough for the way in which he has dealt with me during what has been an extremely worrying time for me and even his secretary was very helpful on all the occasions I had to contact Mr Rath . I would recommend Mr Rath and his team to anyone who come under his care .
