Right from the very start of the process, at my initial consultation, Mr George Spink immediately put me at ease with his very down to earth and friendly manner. He went into detail as regards the findings of my MRI scan, explaining my condition (Spinal Stenosis), the treatment required to rectify it, if I chose to proceed (Lumbar Laminectomy), and also the potential risks. Throughout the consultation, he was very attentive to what I wanted to say, which was me basically having a good moan about the last couple of years of constant pain in my back and legs, which was significantly and increasingly restricting my mobility, thus negatively impacting my overall health and fitness, and also (most importantly for me), lessening my ability to participate in outdoor activities with my 9 yr old daughter. After a week of consideration which Mr Spink allowed me to take, I contacted his team to say I'd like to go ahead with the procedure, after which, I was called in for my pre-op assessment within weeks and the operation carried out a couple of weeks later. The day of the operation at Barlborough Hospital was completely stress free due to being looked after by a friendly and highly professional staff and a pre-op visit from Mr Spinks. After the operation, on the ward, I was back on my feet in a surprisingly short space of time and was allowed home the very same day, a few hours later, which was a bonus after being informed I would be staying in overnight. Post-op I was given a good Physiotherapy program to speed recovery. My Op was on 22nd April 2022 - fast forward to the day of writing this review, 20 June 2022, seven weeks later - no more back pain, no more leg pain, fitness levels and strength improving daily and enjoying outdoor activities with my child again - its not too dramatic to say life transforming. I'm enormously grateful for what Mr George Spink has done for me, and if anyone reading this review has the opportunity to have him carry out their procedure - take it!
