We visited Mr Balaji to obtain a second opinion for my father who had 2 issues; on his back and on his neck. After this first visit, we decided we wanted our father to be under his care and I am completely satisfied that we made the right decision. Mr Balaji was clearly a very competent surgeon and he gave us as much time as we needed to explain what the issues were and how best to address them. He took his time to answer all our questions (at times we were probably asking the same question in several different ways!) and we felt completely at ease with him. He was a very calm and professional person to deal with. My father had 2 major operations carried out by Mr Balaji but I knew he was in great hands. Mr Balaji always had my father's best interests at heart and he took amazing care of him every step of the way. I would recommend this Surgeon to anybody. Mr Balaji, thank you!

I was referred to Dr Balaji after my MIR showed a bad L5S1 disc herniation. He went through the scan with me and explained it in a way that's easy to understand. He went through all of the potential risks of the surgery and I felt in control of any decisions to do with my back. He recommended a disctectomy with decompression. He was upfront and said it won't necessarily improve back pain but should get rid of the sciatica. I was able to ask questions. Ten weeks later, I had my operation at St Albans. He came to see me in the morning to reiterate what he was planning to do allowing me opportunity to ask further questions. I woke up from my surgery with no sciatic pain. He came in to check on me in the evening and informed me that it was an uncomplicated procedure. It's been nearly 3 weeks since my surgery and I've not had any sciatic pain since plus my wound is healing nicely. I'm extremely happy with my experience with Dr Balagi. I was worried about having surgery as two family members have had back operations which resulted in complications (down south) so I was concerned. I couldn't find any recent reviews online either but i needn't to have worried! So far so good and I'm looking forward to resuming back to normal life!
