Dr Bhavesh Raithatha

Written by a NHS patient at Leicester General Hospital

I have seen or spoken to Dr Raithatha on various occasions as he is part of the Pancreatic Team where I am reviewed. As I have other issues from a pain management prospective it is essential that the Dr who is treating me has both an understanding of my past and present medical issues to be able to treat me effectively. It is clear from speaking to him that he not only understands issues that patients face as regards long term chronic pain but his caring and concern for his patient is very evident in his communication skills which are exceptional. He goes the extra mile to give that extra health. What is also refreshing about Dr Raithatha is that he is willing to work in partnership with the patient to discuss different perspectives of pain and it’s management to see what works and what needs to be reviewed. You have to be a special doctor to treat long term chronic pain and I believe he has all he qualities and skills to do this. I think any patient is fortunate to be treated by him

I’m so grateful to have finally met Dr Bhavesh Raithatha who is an brilliant pain specialist. He is extremely professional, while being friendly, so knowledge and put me right at ease from the moment I met him. After months of tests and pain medication for severe lower back pain, I had almost given up and thought this was now my life. Upon meeting Dr Raithatha I actually said he was my last chance as nothing was working to ease the pain. I had put on weight, I was at my wits end with the pain. Upon discussing a couple of options, I underwent pain management by means of joint injections and nerve blocks and I’m a new person. Im now walking daily, losing weight again and got my life back. I can not thank this doctor enough as he has changed my life, thank you :)

After seeing so many doctors for my abdominal pain which started in December 2021, I had numerous tests to try and find out what was wrong with me. It turned out to be hepatitis from some medication that I was given to treat erosive gastritis. I have been on so many medications including Oramorph, Morphine patches and Codeine and nothing would resolve my pain. My knight in shining armour came along. Dr Bhavesh Raithatha. He performed miracles on me by giving injections into my tummy and my back. He was/still is very caring, very knowledgable and treated me with dignity and respect. He went above and beyond and I am and will be truly forever grateful. I would highly recommend this gentleman to anyone who is suffering.

Dr Raithatha is an excellent pain specialist. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, while being friendly and putting you at ease. He. discusses your issues with you and really listens. He listens to understand and not to respond, which is sometimes rare to find in people. Once he fully understands your issue, he then sets out a treatment plan and discusses this with you and makes sure you understand and are happy with the chosen plan. He checks in at every stage to make sure you are still happy and always asks if you have questions. What struck me most was that he presented me with a treatment plan with multiple stages in case previous stages had little to no effect. This lightened a huge weight on my shoulders because I finally felt that no matter what, we would get there in the end and he wouldn’t stop until we did. After years of anxiety over my pain, Dr Raithatha improved my mental health through this alone. He views the patient as a whole person and not just as the problem presented. He is extremely patient centred and his care comes through in everything he does. Because of this he has helped improve my quality of life drastically. I’m so grateful I was referred to him. If ever there was an award for excellence in his field, he would definitely be my winner.
