Mr J. R. Hindhead


Thank you so much for the friendly care and professionalism which you have showed to me over the past months. The injection which you performed Friday last has been most helpful. Thank you again for you and your wonderful profession. 

Mrs A.E. – Surrey


I had the procedure yesterday at the Mount Alvernia. I am so overwhelmed! Having had the same done 4-months ago by another surgeon, I am just so grateful to him. It was amazing and virtually pain free, even post-op ……. nothing! I am so hopeful that this is a success. Please thank him for his professionalism, thoroughness and kindness. 

Mr R.C. – Dorking


I write to express my deep thanks for the care, kindness and anxiety removal during your treatment (caudal epidural and facet joint injections) to relieve my severe low back pain at Ashtead Hospital. Also to the wonderful theatre team and nursing staff.
