Dr Benjamin Thomas

Written by a patient at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital

I have seen Doctor Thomas several times over the last few years and he has always been extremely polite, efficient and very thorough in his treatment of me. I suffer from intercostal nerve damage following major surgery 6 years ago. The surgery has severely damaged the nerve endings between my ribs and the pain is completely debilitating and causes many, many other unpleasant side effects. I last saw Doctor Thomas on Thursday 10th November 2020 in the morning, as he was giving me some deep tissue TENS treatment to try and help with the pain. The surgery itself was very relaxing and Doctor Thomas was totally professional throughout the procedure. He was cheerful and happy & put me totally at my ease. He came to chat with me in the recovery area before I left. I will see if I get any long lasting relief from the treatment but if not Doctor Thomas has told me of further treatments that may be possible. I left the hospital feeling relaxed and happy that I had been treated by the best. Thank you.

I saw Dr Thomas at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital and after having an annular tear in my lower disc, i finally felt that, after a year, i'm finally getting somewhere. I had an epidural injection procedure to see if this will reduce the pain in my back. Dr Thomas was very reassuring and answered every question that i asked. Just wish i had been able to see him earlier on in the year! Even if this injection doesn't work, its great that he is willing to investigate my back further. I would just like to put on record my thanks to Dr Thomas and his team at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital, who no doubt have had an extremely trying year, for being such friendly people. You are all a proper credit to the NHS. I salute you!!

Dr. Thomas was amazing. He made sense of a complicated tangle of issues spanning several other consultants over 6 months. He brought all the symptoms together and found an issue that had been overlooked and gave me a treatment that ended years of sometimes debilitating pain. Aside from his competency he was extremely patient and kind taking the time to explain in detail and showing a genuine concern for my welfare and the worries that both me and my family were experiencing. Highly recommend

Really great experience from get go. Follow up was especially good with numerous check-in calls after procedure to monitor progress. A plan was also put in place during the weekend in case pain returned to a 10. This was especially reassuring. Also communications with PA (Madolyn) were excellent as well. Perhaps unusually you got a sense she cared and checked in with advice on medication. Will be recommending to anyone I know who suffers with back and neck pain.

Dr Thomas was eager to understand the exact nature of the pain that I had been suffering for many years. When I explained, he wanted to alleviate this pain as soon as was possible. Which, to me, showed great care and compassion. Dr Thomas delivered the greatest level of pain management at that very first appointment. Astonishingly my pain was reduced by 90 percent within minutes. This has continued, for which I am truly grateful. Dr Thomas has given me such confidence, by assuring me at a follow up appointment that he can make time to see me whenever I may need his assistance. I just wish that I had met Dr Thomas earlier.
