Having spent many months being passed from one doctor to another within the NHS I was finally recommended to see Mr Spink. He provided a clear and detailed analysis of my symptoms and explained in simple terms the options available to improve my condition. He was very articulate and well mannered but more particularly he gave me a great deal of confidence in his competency with regard to the surgery I required. The surgery went very well and his after care was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending this highly skilled neurosurgeon.

Mr Spink examined me and showed me the MRI. He explained all the options, along with possible complications in a friendly manner. After the operation, he explained how it had gone and visited daily, checking how I was doing. On the follow up, he showed me the X-ray with the inserted framework etc. and explained how to continue. He discharged me but said to ring his secretary directly if there were any problems. I found Mr Spink to be very courteous and helpful and judging by the results (no pain) an excellent surgeon. I would definitely recommend him.

I have been a patient of Mr Spink for over two years. He operated on me twice and both times I had great confidence in his expertise. A very caring man with an excellent way of explaining your problems and the plus and minus of treatments. You are always at the centre of his attention when talking to him and he does not fob you off with excuses. In my words, he is a brilliant surgeon and I would highly recommend him.

Hero and legend are words often used these days and in my opinion far too often for the wrong reasons and people . However mr spink is definitely these two things to me and much more. I felt i had reached the point where i would be in pain forever until i had my first consultation with mr spink. From the first minute of meeting him i was put at ease as well as reassured. Within 6 weeks of that consultation i had been operated on and discharged from Hull royal infirmary. I had presented with right side sciatica which went the full length of my leg. Within 1 day of the operation the pain had completely gone. Mr George Spink deserves any and all the plaudits for his work. He is a genius and has given me my life back. I cannot thank him enough.
