Mr George Spink

at East Riding Community Hospital

I was given the opportunity to observe Mr Spink in his outpatient clinic today and found it very interesting and extremely valuable. I've met numerous consultants over the years in my career and as a patient, but, have never met a consultant who is so friendly, yet professional with his patients and i could really see how he put all of them at ease and they really trusted what he was saying. It was great to see how he assessed his patients and how he explains the risks/limitations and benefits of treatment to his patients with such clarity, and I am sure I will be able to put this valuable learning experience into practice in my own clinics and become a better clinician because of today. Thanks again for your time.

Seen after a skiing accident with fractured vertebrae. Mr Spink was not only reassuring with a great bedside manner throughout but he was also very professional with first class advice and treatment. Mr Spink made time and put himself out to meet us on a bank holiday to ensure a new brace was fitted prior to some travel plans I had book prior to my injury. Would highly recommend him as a neurosurgeon.

I recently had L3/4 decompression surgery for a prolasped disc that had made it impossible for me to walk more than 100m. 5 weeks after surgery I was able to walk 4 miles. I cannot thank Mr Spink enough as the surgery has changed my life. I would highly recommend Mr Spink to anyone who requires spine surgery.

Mr Spink is an excellent consultant. He explains everything in full and asks if you have any questions. I had a couple of OP appointments previously trying physio and also a nerve root block. He gave me the option of surgery as we had tried the other options with no success. I'm so glad I took the surgical route. Mr Spink explained what they found during surgery. I have also had my follow up with him and he is genuinely pleased for you when you have good results. Many thanks Mr Spink.

From the beginning Mr. Spink was friendly and explained everything that was happening in my body and what he could do about it. He explained that there were other options I could try and why. He spoke to me in a way that I understood everything about what he would do during the operation. He came to reassure me before and after my operation. This man is a brilliant surgeon and I cannot thank him enough for removing the terrible pain that I was in. In the future, if I ever need surgery again, I would not hesitate to contact Mr. Spink.
