Professor Neil Kitchen- I would Highly recommend. I had a brain tumour & Neil Kitchen operated on me - in 2010 - without him I would have died & be dead now . I came out from the operation perfect as before. He tells you straight about any risks so you feel reassured - I felt confident reassured & relaxed about his ability. He is an amazing man - I will always be grateful to this eminent professional & clever surgeon. Thank you with all my heart. Cllr Kim Botting FRSA- Orpington

Neil Kitchen performed by MVD 11.5yrs ago, he listened when our local hospital said my MRI was inconclusive and told me to go away carry on taking the meds until the pain was too unbearable then come back. Neil was a 2nd opinion organised by my husband, GP and the assistance of the TN Society. Without him we would not have been.able to continue, being in severe excruciating pain nearly 24/7 and being misdiagnosed before. He was our saviour, thanks to Neil I am able to work, function as a wife, mother and grandmother relatively painfree.
