Mr Bhatia explained everything to me thoroughly from my first consultation through to the follow up after my surgery. He is very patient, happy to answer questions and actually listens. He managed my expectations about the risks and and potential outcomes and recovery.

Mr Robin Bhatia is an absolutely amazing surgeon. Although he see’s so many patients he is still very understanding, caring and really wants to help. He discussed all my options so I was aware that I could try other things other than surgery. I was in so much pain with my slipped disc that in the end I couldn’t stand up straight or do any daily activities. I couldn’t sleep and was on so much medication. The day after surgery I was practically back to my old self. I only needed a small amount of meds for a week and then off them completely. My scar is neat and healed well. I felt that Mr Bhatia really cared about me and almost like I was his only patient (even though I know he has a lot). I’m so grateful I feel like I have my life back and would highly recommend him to everyone. He helped me so much. He is a gentleman, a kind soul and just amazing

I was referred to Dr Bhatia with chronic back pain. He confirmed the diagnosis of nerve compression in the spine and recommended me for a microdiscectomy. Dr Bhatia was clear in describing the issue, the procedure and all of the risks as well as why he felt this was the correct course of action as well as offering other options in an unbiased manner. Communication was clear and transparent at all stages. I write this 11 months after the procedure. I am a different person, my mobility is fully restored and my quality of life has improved almost immeasurably. I don't have enough thanks for Dr Bhatia and his team, they have given me my life back.
