I was very pleased with the operation to my back carried out by Mr. Bhatia. I had an appointment with him yesterday for the 6 week review. He explained again what was done during the operation and he was very informative. I was very happy with all aspects of my care.

I was diagnosed with cervical myleopathy which was causing rapid deterioration in the movement of my left arm and leg. I was referred to Robin, who gave me a very clear explanation of the implications of my condition and the surgery required to treat it (spinal decompression). I was operated on less than three weeks after my diagnosis and the operation has been very successful. After the operation, Robin kept me well informed of how things had gone and what the next steps would be. It is now seven weeks after my surgery and I have regained much of the motor function in my arm and leg and these improvements are continuing. Robin not only carried out a complex operation with great skill he also has been a very friendly, approachable and informative professional in all my dealings with him. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Mr Bhatia operated on my spine in May 2024. He is a very personable doctor, took my problem very seriously, explained my surgery in detail. Mr. Bhatia made me feel at ease during our meetings prior to surgery. I am 77 years of age, have not had any surgery for 52 years, I was understandably nervous. I shouldn't have worried, Mr Bhatia and staff at the Great Western Hospital were very efficient and put me at ease at every stage. I have seen him today as a follow up after surgery, again a thoroughly nice man. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Sandra Beale.
