Mr John Crawford was excellent with me, he explained my condition in a very clear and precise way, explaining the scan in detail and also showed me a model spine helping me to understand the problems. He talked me through every stage very clearly and listened to my concerns at the consultations. He was very patient, understanding and kind. The following morning (Sunday) he visited me in hospital to discharge me, he explained what he had done and the operation was a success, I was able to walk out of hospital that day without the pain. A couple of weeks later we had a follow up appointment where Mr Crawford checked the scar, my progress, mobility and my health. Six weeks later (due to covid) we emailed a review as suggested which saved me another visit to hospital aged 81. The service I received from Mr Crawford and all the staff at The Nuffield Cambridge was excellent. Mr Crawford has given me my life back and I am most grateful. Thank you very much Mr Crawford

I had a disc prolapse in September which left me suddenly unable to stand for longer than a few minutes at a time. I have never been in such pain or frightened. From the first moment I was in contact with Mr Crawford ( firstly by phone due to Covid restrictions) I knew I would be ok and could hand over my fear and pain to him. The appointment prior to the surgery was incredible. Even though a nurse myself he still went through everything in such detail that I understood what was wrong and what would happen, he treated me as a patient which I was and needed. Mr Crawfords gentle , caring and knowledgeable approach was exceptional which meant when I went into theatre for the surgery I had no worries or concerns. The surgery was a huge success and I cried in recovery because I had no pain for the first time in weeks. I have a small scar and was back at work pain free 3 weeks later. I can not thank Mr Crawford enough or recommend him enough because he has such knowledge, skill and understanding and I will forever grateful to him.

Mr Crawford identified the root cause of my back pain. He suggested options to control or potentially cure the problem. One of these options was surgery. I opted for surgery and had an L3/4 decompression procedure. I am amazed at the result!! Not only has my back pain gone completely, but I had no post surgery pain. 6 weeks on, still no pain & I am even able to go jogging again. Absolutely first class!
