Mr Rikin Trivedi

Written by a patient at Nuffield Hospital Cambridge

I saw this surgeon a couple of years ago for a consultation and thought I was probably the unlucky one. I found him to be rude, dismissive and just not willing to properly investigate. (told me my pain was in my head) I was so appalled by his dismissive behavior that I did not go back to him to get any scan results as i did not trust him. Fortunately i went to another very competent spinal surgeon elsewhere who was able to diagnose a very treatable condition and was appalled by what i was previously told. I see by other reviews i am not the only one to have a poor experience with this surgeon.

Mr Trivedi was fantastic. He performed my back surgery with great results. Friendly, yet professional. I could trust him implicitly. He explained everything very clearly and with great care. He answered all our questions before the surgery and checked on me several times after the surgery.

I saw this consultant once, about three years ago. I have a condition of the spine going back many years. I was in terrible pain at the time, barely able to walk on two sticks. I took the last scan I had which was 4 years old at the time. He barely glanced at it and told me to go to palates. I was very distressed and next day rang and insisted on a new MRI. He agreed, possibly because I’m a private patient. When the results came back, he again only quickly gave the scan a passing glance. He declared nothing much had changed in four years and again told me to go for palates. There’s much more I could write but to cut a long story short, I went for another opinion. It was discovered that I had multiple fractures at various levels in my spine and my condition had deteriorated greatly in the four years between the scans. I also had severe osteoporosis so bad I was put on daily injections for two years and now have a yearly infusion. This incompetent consultant sent me to do palates with a broken back!!! He is totally untrustworthy. I should have written this review at the time I saw him but better late than never.

I saw this doctor at the spire lea Cambrige clinic and found me a bit rude and not a good listener, a patient should never been treated like this ! He saw what my problem was/is as He already had my scan pics but yet he still said that my spine is completely normal and everything is in my mind ! I feel totally ignored and fobbed of by this doctor ! I'm in a lot of pain but this gentleman totally ignored me and made me feel like I was crazy! Sometimes I wish doctors could feel my pains and what they would do if they were me!
