In 2007 I had a Laminectomy, where bone and 2 discs were removed from my spine. I was in terrible pain from the day after that the operation was performed. I took morphine and painkillers for 4 years and managed my job and being mother in a complete daze with a very poor quality of life.
Dr Ravindran first started treating my back pain in 2011 after a referral from my G.P to the pain clinic. He has treated me now for 5 years with a combination of Rhyzolysis or injections depending on my needs ( nerve pain or joint pain).
The results have amazed me and my quality of life has changed so much.I am back walking miles each day with my dogs and I enjoy my social life again too.My two Sons are delighted to see me "live again".
I have have a great respect for Dr Ravindrans abilities and skills to manage my pain and although it is an ongoing treatment, I have every confidence in him. Dr Ravindran cares about his patients and he always takes his time to discuss any concerns that I have. He is a wonderful man.
Fantastic caring doctor, who LISTENS to you and who truly wants to find out where the pain is coming from to help you to feel better.
Listened attentively, showed real concern and understanding, explained treatment alternatives in good detail
Dr Ravendran, has treated me over the last 6-12 months for a lower back facet joint problem. His knowledge explanation of my problem has been exceptional.
The recommended treatment has had a significant affect on my improving condition.
I would highly recommend him and would not hesitate to see him again, even if I was not covered by my medical insurance.
Listened attentively, showed real concern and understanding, explained treatment alternatives in good detail, was honest and open about success rates, didn't talk down to me and made treatment path feel like a joint decision.
