Mr Narendra Kumar Rath

at Spire Yale Hospital

I would highly recommend Mr Rath, he operated on me for L4/5 lumbar decompression 10 weeks ago . All my symptoms of pins/needles, burning sensation, pain in both legs for 14 months has now completely resolved.I am walking 4 miles every couple of days now with no problems at all. I cannot emphasise enough how grateful I am to him for the magic he has performed, and how he was able to erase some of my fears pre op by explaining everything clearly and in terms that I could understand.

JANUARY 2023 A year today I had surgery ACDF level 3 for Cervical Myelopathy. Following Mr Raths final appointment after my surgery at the Nuffield, Chester last week. I wanted to tell others how important it is to get checked if you have any of the following symptoms. I will take you back to July 2022. I suddenly started with spinning vertigo, I couldn't walk more than 5 steps and was on a walking stick, I lost the use in my hands and was dropping things, I needed support with washing and dressing and had to have a chair in the shower, my eyes were affected and neurologically I was using the wrong words known again. My life had fell apart in minutes. After a few weeks of having medication off my GP for vertigo I felt I was getting worse. I didn't hesitate to contact Mr Rath and received an appointment within a few days. MRI was booked immediately and they could see that 2 discs C4, C5 had collapsed onto my spinal cord. I needed surgery as soon as. Mr Rath arranged my operation for January 6th and here I am a year later writing this. I have to go at my pace and am slower but I now have the use back in both my hands bar 2 fingers go slightly numb known again, I am walking just over a mile a day, I can now drive, I can see to myself showering/dressing, I am starting to do little chores around the house. My quality of life has improved and I still have another year of recovery. I will say this again I can't thank Mr Rath enough he is a brilliant surgeon, made me feel at ease the whole time and is a very caring person. I would also like to thank his secretary Linda for all her support throughout and his team of people on the day of my operation.

Mr Rath is without doubt a renowned “Top Surgeon” in the field of Spinal Surgery. During Covid lockdown he kept in touch with me via phone calls, he listened to my concerns, he makes no promises except he will do what he possibly can to take away the pain l had experienced for 3 years. Mr Rath explained the surgery l needed in detail before l signed the consent form l put all my trust in him, l knew l was dealing with a professional and talented man. On the morning of surgery 09/08/23 he reassured me all would be well and l truly believed l would be pain free. After 5 hours of surgery l was standing upright l was amazed after 2 nights in hospital l was on my way home. l am happy to say l am enjoying life and each day l gain confidence, my mobility is good and l no longer take the pain killers l took every day. Most of all l enjoy life l can never thank or praise Mr Rath and his team adequately. My 3 month appointment went well Mr Rath explained in detail showing me the recent X-ray l was delighted to see him and my spine is healing well. I now have an appointment in 9 months time.

I was admitted as an emergency for a herniated disk. Mr Rath was very knowledgeable and cared and I felt at ease in his care. I was operated on the next day via key hole surgery I have just had my 3 month review and he was pleased with my progress. Would definitely recommend him.

the care that I received as a patent of Mr Rath was first class. When I went into hospital I was experiencing considerable back pain which also extended down both legs when walking. when I got back to my room I only had some stiffness in my thighs. I was discharged the following day and over the following three weeks my recovery from my operation was quick and I can now walk over 8000 steps without rest. Today I had my followup visit and was discharged.
