Dr Cudlip made me feel at easy immediately despite what was a worrying time. He explained the diagnosis to me in a clear manner and described how he intended to approach surgery.

I had an excellent treatment throughout in the hands of Mr. Cudlip. It started with the initial consultation, which was performed with patient and polite clarity of necessary information. It further opened to me the possibilities of treating my condition of lumbar stenosis. This was followed by an epidural, performed gently and efficiently.
The treatment was efficient, competent and included all the necessary clarification.
As the analgesia is beginning to wane, I am in the process of asking Mr. Cudlip to perform, the keyhole surgery on my area of stenosis.
I have absolute trust in hiss professionalism and am grateful for his quiet, polite empathy and respectful treatment.

Mr Cudlip is excellent. I felt I was in the best hands. He took time to carefully explain my condition and the available options. I totally trusted the advice he gave.
