Really pleased with service and advice and care of mr rai. After initial consultation and discussion of all the options. I was fortunate that the problem I had was seen too early and at the time was not suffering like other people further down the line with same condition, just pins/needles etc. So with the advice given by mr rai and explaining the procedure making clear benefits and risks. I was very concerned. But knew it had to be done to avoid future problems. Mr rai spoke to me before operation of disc replacement of c5/c6. once again explaining procedure. I’ve had operation and am back on my feet and going home following day after mr rai telling me operation all went well. I thought I’d be in more pain but actually feel comfortable. I’m looking forward to getting back to all gym classes etc. I can’t recommend mr rai services enough Thank you

I was very pleased to be able to see Mr Am Rai from the outset having been treated by him previously. Mr Rai was extremely professional and particularly interested in my wider circumstances generally, and to ascertain possible causes of my back and hip problem. Previously, and after a number of operations, Mr Rai successfully rid the terrible sciatic nerve pain that I had been suffering with so I have a lot to thank him for.

Very professional and helpful, explaining everything. My sciatica pain was unbearable and since the operation I was advised to have, no pain.

In every way from first visit to post op I felt informed secure and confident in MrAm Rai. Mr Rai answered all questions with clarity and gave me descriptions I could understand. I am very happy I had Mr Rai to get me through this scary time.

Mr Rai has performed a miracle in the relief of my persistent sciatic nerve pain due to nerve compression in my spine. The relief is significant to total. Mr Rai took time to fully explain my condition including recording a video sp that I could articulate to my family clearly what he was going to do. Mr Rai has been exceptional in every respect and has my deepest thanks.

Mr Rai filled me with confidence when diagnosing my lower back issue, his knowledge is excellent. We have discussed a plan to move forwards, I thought at this point he was done, however he suggested a follow up call consultation to ensure things had improved. Mr Rai has also completed a very intrusive operation carrying risk on a family member in the past which has changed their life for the better, I cannot recommend him enough.

Mr Am Rai performed my spinal surgery for severe spinal stenosis. I was initially worried about having surgery and carefully considered my options beforehand. Mr Am Rai clearly explained the rationale for surgery. He was always professional, kind and caring. He put me at ease every step of the way. He visited me immediately pre and post surgery and again the day after (on a weekend). I felt very well looked after. I have since had several post op outpatient appointments for wound care and to monitor progress throughout the recovery period. I am incredibly happy with the outcome so far. My pain has totally resolved, which means no more strong drugs! I am confident that I will be back to normal in no time. I highly recommend Mr Am Rai to anyone who is considering this type of surgery.

Mr Rai was incredibly professional and explained everything that would be occurring with the surgery. Post surgery he was also amazing with explaining how my recovery would take place. He’s a brilliant surgeon and excellent at his job, my surgery has gone perfectly and I’m healing beautifully. Throughout the whole experience Mr Rai has been warm, comforting, wonderfully explanatory and helpful, leaving me reassured before and after the surgery process. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgical experience - no one enjoys having surgery, but in Mr Rai’s capable and experienced hands, the experience has been a positive one.
