I cannot praise enough the professional and sympathetic approach Mr Spink had when both diagnosing my problem, in his calming and sympathetic manner, and explaining what to expect before and after surgery. I had surgery at HRI, again the before and after care he and all the NHS staff gave me was exceptional. My operation has given me back the quality of life expected at my age which I am very thankful for. I would recommend Mr Spink to anyone with back troubles. THANK YOU

I would unhesitatingly recommend Mr George Spink to anyone with a serious back problem. I had emergency back surgery in January 2019, on the lower back to relieve pressure on the nerve and to support the spine. The outcome has been excellent. Mr Spink is an immensely knowledgeable and experienced surgeon, with a great patient-doctor manner. He immediately puts you at ease, has a good sense of humour and yet takes the time and care to explain and inform honestly to enable you to arrive at a decision for yourself based on the best medical advice. In my case Mr Spink fully explained my options and I chose surgery as the most likely long term solution to my problem. On the day of surgery I was fully informed and reassured as to all the processes and he was on hand the following morning to explain how well the operation had gone. It was reassuring throughout to know that I was in the hands of Mr Spink and his excellent team.

Was treated by Mr Spink as an emergency on 30th December 2019 had surgery that day having been diagnosed by a member of his team the night before, had a follow up appointment 26th February 2020, fantastic treatment and swift diagnoses could have been a different story had it not been for the quick action of Mr Spink and his team. Thank goodness for our NHS and it’s dedicated staff.
