Mr Nicholas Carleton-Bland

Written by a patient at Salford Royal Hospital

I just wanted to express my thanks and gratitude to Nick for his great work and support in regards to my recent L5/S1 Disk Fusion Surgery. I was extremely concerned about undergoing this procedure but the operation appears to have gone extremely well as I haven't felt any nerve pain what so ever post Op. This is incredible given the amount of pain that I have been in for approx 5 years and considering previous surgery under different surgeons had all but failed. After the surgery and still in Hospital, Nick came to see me on me on numerous occasions which was refreshing to see the surgeon that actually operated on you take such a personal approach to his work and ensure that any questions I had on the surgery were answered. Crucially I didn't feel hurried and he was very thorough with his feedback to me. I have spoken to Nick since the operation to seek some advice or perhaps ask a quick question and he has been very quick to come back to me and put my mind at ease or answer my questions quickly. I m well on the road to recovery now and I would not hesitate in recommending Nick to anyone that is considering back surgery. Thanks very much Nick. Jonathan Wise
