Mr.Spink and his team have been excellent throughout my treatment for a herniated lumbar disc. From the outset I was put at ease by his quiet and considered manner, he gave me clear choices for treatment of which I opted for surgery, as I felt that I fully trusted him to carry out my procedure effectively. I was up and walking around about within 10 hours or so after the operation, and went home the next morning with no more sciatic pain. I've just returned to see him after 6 weeks and am recovering well, he has put any worries I had to rest and I look forward to a return to normal activities after another month or two.

Explained everything clear and knowledgably prior to surgery which made the process easier, made me feel at ease throughout the whole process

I saw Mr Spink at Spire. He’s such a lovely gentleman and very caring. He listens very carefully to what you are saying about symptoms. After my initial consultation with Mr Spink, he explained in detail my MRI scan results. I appreciated his advice and the options that he gave to me. I trusted him completely and he took the time to answer my questions. I would recommend Mr Spink to anyone.

Mr Spink recently operated on me to release a nerve that was compressed by a prolapsed disc. I am know two weeks post surgery and doing ok, no more siatic pain. I can't thank Mr Spink and all the staff that were involved in my care at Hull royal Infirmary for all they have done for me especially the staff on ward 4. I I think you are all amazing. A HUGE THANK YOU Kind regards Guy
