Mr. Rohit Shetty - Consultant Spinal Surgeon and his team carried out major Spinal Surgery ( L4/L5 posterior Decompression and Fusion ) at Whittington Hospital, London last month. 6th November 2023.
I was of course really frightened to do the operation due to my advanced age, but after speaking to Mr. Rohit Shetty I was very impressed the way he explained the operation and the confidence he gave me. I also went through his qualifications and experience in this field and found out that he was one of the leading Spinal Surgeons in London.
I was also able to walk almost half a km after just one week after the operation. I never expected this major surgery to go so smoothly and I have no hesitation in recommending him .
I wish him well throughout his carrier.

I met with Mr Shetty in November 2022 when having spent a number of years coping with leg and back pain it was then impacting on my general wellbeing, to such an extent that walking had become a problem.
I was diagnosed with severe Stenosis and evidence of Degenerative Spondylolisthesis. Following a discussion with Mr Shetty where he gave me his time generously, and made every effort to advise me of the options available and the outcome of the surgery, I felt total confidence in him and decided to go ahead with the operation.
Prior to my operation, and following the death of my brother in the US, I was very involved dealing with his affairs as an executor. Mr Shetty’s understanding and compassion did go way beyond his duty as a Surgeon. For which I remain ever grateful to him.
I had the operation on 13 February 2023 and even days later, felt the benefit. The surgery has been so successful that friends and family are completely surprised at my progress in such a short time.
I do hope that I will never need further Orthopaedic Surgery but if I did, I could only rely on Mr Shetty’s extremely professional surgical experience.

I had full confidence in Mr Shetty from a very early stage. He listened to me about my problems and at all stages clearly explained the options. He never rushed my appointments even though he was obviously very busy. I eventually had back surgery at the end of 2019 which went very well. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Shetty and his team.

Mr Shetty performed major surgery on my Spine at The National, Queens square. He was then between two hospitals the other one being The Whittington. I had several complications but Mr Shetty & his team were absolutely marvellous. Every operation has a risk factor, and my condition was quickly and efficiently dealt with. I am returning for a further spinal operation at The Whittington Hospital and Mr Shetty will be performing the operation. The last operation I had a problem with part of the wound not healing - he immediately got in touch with a plastic surgeon when it became evident that this is what I would need and I was transferred to another hospital in Hampstead. Although they were good at the other hospital I missed not being able to see Mr Shetty. I have every faith in Mr Shetty and would recommend him to anyone who has a spinal problem. I had complex spinal surgery and it was just unfortunate that infections and kidney failure did not help matters and I was in both hospitals for three and a half months, of course this is no fault of Mr Shetty or his medical team. This really should not put anyone off as it was just something that nobody expected. I would not have Mr Shetty carry out another operation if that was the case. It is a big thing to go through but if you have faith in your surgeon then you should not worry. Keep up the good work Mr Rohit Shetty.
