I live in the Midlands and the Walton Centre is one of only a few places in the country where focussed ultrasound treatment is carried out on the NHS for people with an essential tremor. So although I had to travel for my appointments and treatments, it was well worth attending this specialist neurology hospital. Appointments were made for me that took my necessary travel arrangements into consideration. I received excellent care from Dr Panicker (neurologist), Mr Farah (surgeon), and all the experts and nursing staff and clerical staff too. The whole team made the assessments, the pre op and other tests (Psychology) as painless as possible. In terms of physical pain during the procedure, the anaesthetist was excellent and I didn't feel a thing during the procedure. I would also like to thank the nurse who shaved my head for being friendly and caring too. I was told during my consultations that, as my tremors were "off the scale in severity" that I couldn't expect to be tremor free in the treated hand and subsequently some of my tremor has returned. So I appreciate this honesty as it prepared me for the outcome. Even though some of my tremor has returned I would definitely do it again as the Walton Centre really is a centre of excellence. I thoroughly recommend this hospital.

On every visit to the The Walton Centre it was always very caring experience. From the minute of being collected from Dotty ward by two lovely ladies who chattered to me all the way to the pre-operation area, they continued to chat to me until I was taken into the next area. The staff who prepared me for the procedure were wonderful. I cannot thank Mr Jibril Osman-Farah and his team enough for the very good care.

From initial consultation with consultant neurologist Mr Jay Panicker, then to the consultant Neurosurgeon Mr Jibril Osman- Farah who would perform the MRI Guided focused ultrasound Thalomotomy, to suppress my essential tremor. The treatment I received was excellent, the whole Deep Brain simulation (DBS) team and Jefferson ward nursing staff were amazing in their care.The whole experience was professionally carried out from start to finish, and this operation has changed my life.The Walton Centre and staff have been fantastic and I would recommend this treatment to other people who suffer with Essential Tremor . A Big Thank you to the whole team. Best Regards Leonard McDonald

Staff at the Walton Centre were very friendly and professional and made you feel at ease. The prep before the MRI procedure was done with dignity and was fully explained. The staff were very attentive during the procedure to avoid any discomfort, as was the care following the procedure. I would like to thank the whole team for their professionalism. Please keep doing what you are doing.

Had fantastic care all the way through my pre opp and the procedure. The only problem was that I was never told I would have to see the doctor the day after my procedure and living 60 miles away I had to stay in hospital. Also it took 6.5 hours to receive my prescription after seeing the doctor, I am sure they knew what medication I needed the day of the procedure

I have had three inpatient stays in Chavasse ward and multiple outpatient appointments over the last few years. The first procedure was during covid which meant I could not have any visitors. I was in hospital for a week and every single member of staff that came into my room, domestics, HCA, nurses, Drs all tried to make me smile during a really difficult experience. The staff on the ward and the staff in the outpatients department were all kind and caring. After my first stay in the hospital I had no anxieties about going back.
