  • The best experience and I have been to many hospitals over the years! Mr Aylott is truly the best he does a belt and braces job which means I am left with no pain in any area of the back he injects and he has done both my lumbar and thoracic on two different occasions. The hospital is very professionally run, sparkling clean and efficient, the staff delightful and you are given then best care. I now wouldn’t go anywhere else.

  • I have been suffering from lower back pain for quite some time. I came across this spine centre and got in contact immediately and was seen really quick for a consultation, mri scan and a post scan consultation with Mr Aylott all in one day. He diagnosed my problem and recommended a solution straight away in having injections to numb the pain, help settle things down and reduce inflammation. This was done within 2 weeks and it has really helped me get on with my day to day life again. I struggle

  • I had a fantastic experience with Mr Aylott. After suffering from lower back pain for many years and attending several disappointing NHS appointments, Mr Aylott was finally able to diagnose the cause of my pain. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. I had my initial consultation, MRI scan, and the results all on the same day—something that feels almost unheard of nowadays. A couple of weeks later, I underwent a procedure that has significantly reduced my back pain! Highly recommend

  • Mr Aylott is a man bereft of self-doubt, whose confidence is commensurate with his competence. My lumbar spine operation was a little fiddly; the outcome was immaculate - for which I am very grateful. The facilities and staff at The UK Spine Centre were also exceptional. Something as serious as surgery justifies investing in the very best, and Mr Aylott merits the appellation.

  • I travelled from Newcastle to the Harley Street Spine Centre for a second opinion after months of delays elsewhere. Mr Aylott was professional, friendly and immediately put me at ease. Consultation, imaging and diagnosis were all completed the same day, and I received treatment within two weeks. The spinal injections have dramatically reduced my chronic back pain and transformed my quality of life. I can’t recommend Mr Aylott and the team highly enough.

  • After five years of living with chronic back pain and being misdiagnosed, I was fortunate to be treated by Mr. Elliott. At my very first appointment, he diagnosed me with a herniated disc and immediately put me at ease with his warm, reassuring manner and exceptional knowledge. After performing my spinal injections, I noticed a significant improvement in my pain levels. The treatment has made a real difference, and I am now continuing my recovery with physiotherapy as recommended by Mr Elliott.
