Mr Vasileios Arzoglou

Written by a patient at Castle Hill Hospital

In my appointments with Mr Arzoglou I found him very helpful he explained my problems and what he though the causes were and what he suggested was the way to deal with them . Very good when explaining it to me .

I had outstanding surgical care from Mr Arzoglou, & post-operative visits whilst still in hospital were frequent & focussed on my recovery. Outpatient follow-up was good & because of the complex surgery took great care in ensuring I was well-enough recovered to be discharged. The only concern was that admin & paperwork took too long & some prompting for information was necessary. I was ok because my wife was a nurse & understood how to overcome delays & diversions.

The initial consultation with Mr Arzoglou took as long as it needed to. I wasn't rushed and he listened to me and then explained the best option was spinal decompression surgery and the reason for this. He gave me information to take home explaining all that would happen so I could read it in my own time. When it came to the day of the surgery, Mr Arzoglou met with me, talked through the procedure and the paperwork I needed to sign and then left to get ready for my surgery. I was left with complete confidence in all that was about to happen and, as it happens, I was right. Operation successful and I could not have been in better hands, literally!

After 25 to 30 years of sciatica & in the latter 10 years having numbness in my legs, I was eventually referred to The Spire Hospital in late 2017 by my GP. I first saw Mr Vasileios Arzoglou in early 2018 & found him to be a pleasant person & very easy to talk to. At last I had someone who understood about my back problems. I had a number of x-rays & scans which he explained would need a Lumbar Decompression (Laminectomy) operation on the L2 to L5 region plus a Pedicle Screw Fixation-Fusion & Interbody Fusion of L3 to L4 of my back. Due to my work commitments I was unable to have the operation until late 2018 which Mr Arzoglou happily agreed to. The operation took place late December & the care I received in all areas was impeccable. My stay was only overnight & I was discharged home the following day. Within a week I was off painkillers & now sciatica & leg numbness free. I have not been able to believe what a difference this has made to my life. Every week my muscles are getting stronger & I was back at work only 7 weeks after the operation. I cannot thank everyone enough at The Spire Hospital, especially Mr Arzoglou, for everything they have done for me.
