- Mr. Aylott was fantastic. After over four years of back pain, I finally received a proper diagnosis. He put me completely at ease, explained everything clearly, and gave me confidence that I am finally on the path to recovery. I highly recommend him.
- I was very pleased with my appointment with Dr. Caspar Aylott. He listened carefully to me, scheduled tests, made a diagnosis, and gave treatment recommendations. Everything was done promptly and professionally.
- I recently had spinal fusion surgery with Mr Aylott and I could not be happier with the care and results. From the very beginning, Mr Aylott was professional, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely confident throughout the process. My recovery has been much quicker than I expected, and the difference has been life changing. I now have so much more freedom of movement and, most importantly, I am no longer living with c

- I went to see Mr Caspar Aylott for a second opinion as I had sciatica for over a year and no resolution to the pain as pain killers didn’t work and wasn’t optimistic about my future. It was the best decision I have ever made. I saw Mr Aylott and he assured me straight away that he could help me. He was excellent at explaining to me my symptoms and giving me various options. I chose minimally invasive surgery and it is totally life changing. Straight after surgery I was walking pain free
- We are extremely grateful to Mr Aylott for the care he provided to my mother. His professionalism, attention to detail and holistic approach were exceptional throughout. After a long period focused mainly on spinal and sciatic issues, he identified that her hip was also a significant cause of her symptoms, changing the direction of her treatment completely. His spinal injections also greatly reduced her pain and improved her mobility. An exceptional consultant and truly first-class clinician.
- Exemplary in every single way
- I went to see Mr Aylott in a last effort to deal with chronic sciatic pain I had suffered for 18 months. Literally not being able to lie down or sit down for more than 30 mins. Totally exhausted. Mr Aylott was very warm at our first appointment and listened to what I had to say. A new MRI was recommended which confirmed serious disc bulge which was completely compressing the sciatic nerves. The options were explained clearly and I decided to have a microdistectomy . From my first appointmen
- After a year long struggle with debilitating neck/left arm nerve pain, and endless health care roadblocks in my own (private) healthcare system, Mr Aylott saw me the same day I first contacted him, reviewed my cervical MRI and scheduled a c7 transforaminal injection...which I had less than 48 hrs later. Very grateful for someone to prioritise my case and treatment, at last. He and his team run a very slick operation and clearly know what they're doing.
