- I was apprehensive before the initial consult with Mr B! He walked me through my options and i decided to go with a cervical nerve root block , it has made such a differnce to all aspects of my day to day life , i cant thnak him enough
- I saw Mr Bhagawati following MRI to pursue Microdiscectomy. I could not fault the care during my treatment. I am now 6 weeks post op and almost back to normal physically. I wish I'd have had this procedure years ago and can now envisage a future without severe pain.
- Very happy with results of the procedure was fully explained . Very good experience throughout
- Mr Bhagawati is absolutely amazing! He helped me make decisions when I was unsure how to deal with my perforated disc by giving well informed advice & supported my choices. Its thanks to him I can now lift my kids pain free for the first time since pregnancy. Highly recommend!
- Amazing care throughout, advised me gave me options when I was unsure of what step to take. His assurance & experience are second to none. Very personable man.
- Reassuring throughout. Supported by a great team at Luton & Dunstable
- The doctor is very professional, focused on his work, confident, and possesses extensive medical knowledge and experience. He doesn't waste time, neither his own nor the patient's. As his patient, I felt safe and had a positive attitude towards the treatment. The cervical spine surgery yielded excellent results; I didn't expect that one operation could relieve such a heavy burden from my shoulders and make me feel so light. I was also surprised that the pain immediately after the surgery was minimal, and after 12 weeks post-surgery, I returned to normal activities. The quality of my life has improved dramatically thanks to the appropriate treatment applied by the doctor.
- I have had a lumbar decompression recently and have been very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend him for any spinal treatment. He takes care in explaining the procedure and what happens next. With Mr Bhagwati you are in safe hands. Thanks
- I am so pleased I had my back surgery- it has changed my life. Dr Bhagawati was a perfect gentleman- he listened to any concerns I had and was very honest aboit
- Prior to neck surgery I was fully informed on the process, my operation went well and I was pleased with the speed of recovery. Ten weeks later I'm doing well.
