Review
Really uncaring and unsympathetic, actually feeling drastically worse as a result of treatment recommended and am now going to see a different consultant.

Mr Langdon and I met at St Albans hospital when I was in great pain down my left leg. I can only describe the pain as the worst cramp combined with the worst tooth ache you have ever had shooting down my leg. Combined with great back ache. I even went to A&E twice with the pain was to much. Anyway I was fortunate to be referred to Mr Langdon. He discussed all the procedure in great depth and all the risks good and bad. Along with various outcomes.... I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Mr Langdon Waking up two hours after the operation I am completely pain free and my life is back to where it was before I injured myself.

I found Mr Langdon to be compassionate and caring. He takes time to explain and answer any concerns. He is knowledgeable and professional but also friendly and genuinely wants to help.

I have been under Mr Langdon for sometime now and he always made me feel comfortable and put at ease.

He is very pleasent to talk and listens what you got to say I recently had lumber spine decompression and he made me feel so comfortable and literally took time to fully explain the procedure and cover all the risks and what to expect He will answer the questions you have to the best solution as possibe James is definitely one of the best Surgeon in this field and you can be assured your in good hands and the best. I was worried about my procedure but he made me very calm and relaxed I definitely recommend to anyone James takes his time doesnt rush and explains what and why about the routes he goes down. James is very sufficient about his job and caring towards his patients and wants the best results for his patients

Mr Langdon is a highly qualified consultant who has helped me through back pain over the past 6 years. He is totally involved with your care and would not be invasive if not needed. I trust him completely with my spinal care. Cilla de Wit
