Mr Vasileios Arzoglou

Written by a private patient at Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital

I had been in a lot of pain from sciatica and hamstring pain and buttock pain for 17 years, walking was no longer a pleasure so i decided to do my own research on different neurosurgeons looking at their reviews. After all my research I came across Mr. Vasileios Arzoglou And made an appointment to see him at the Spire, Hull. I found him to be very approachable, he listened to what my problems were and after carrying out numerous tests, he advised me that I had spondylolisthesis at l4-L5, and advised me that he would carry out an L4-L5 Bilateral fenestration decompression and that he could carry out this operation within a 3cm incision. After I woke from surgery they had me walking and walking up stairs. I could’nt believe it, I was completely pain free and Eight weeks later I am still pain free and hence I am very pleased and grateful for what he has achieved for me.

This Dr is lovely and my initial consultation gave me great hope that he would get to the bottom of my long standing devastating pain in my thoracic spine. He found dextroscoliosis from a CT and requested a further spect scan in order to find my problem. However, a year later, delay due to covid, I was devastated at my review to be told he couldn't do anything to help me. I was shocked and didn't ask the questions that I needed answering after he said he would refer me to rheumatology. I walked away upset and annoyed at myself for not asking certain questions. I am still in constant hideous pain and feel like I keep getting passed from pillar to post. Dr Arzoglou is lovely but as a suggestion maybe another Dr could sign off his referrals as I am still waiting 6/7 weeks later for my referral due to Dr Arzoglou catching covid. Whilst I sympathize greatly, I am desperate for this to be done so that my GP can refer me privately. I went to Dr Arzoglou as a private patient and he then referred me back to himself on the NHS as the spect scan was only available on the NHS. This then took a year more of pain for me which has also been very frustrating when living with such severe pain. I am desperate for the help of the correct consultant, which I thought was going to be Dr Arzoglou.

I recently saw Mr Arzoglou following an introduction from a colleague in York who wished for a second opinion for his diagnosis. During our discussion I was treated with the utmost courtesy and all my 5 star ratings were well earned. He supplied a report to my NHS doctor and a very comprehensive report to me which set out in great detail the pros and cons of the options available to me. Circumstances, and age, have resulted in me deciding not to proceed to surgery; I am aware of what I need to do to try and protect myself and will take great care. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Arzoglou to anybody who sought my opinion.

Mr Arzoglou was very caring and friendly. I fully understood his explanation of my operation and he put me at ease. He also listened carefully to my questions.
