The care that Freyja received was second to none from the first point of contact through to her last follow up appointment. The surgery has had an unbelievably positive impact on her life and the scar is virtually invisible. I would highly recommend Mr Verma and his team.

Mr Verma identified what can only be described as a "missed diagnosis" with my hip rather than the degenerative issues associated with my lower spine. He treated with warmth, understanding and compassion. I am very grateful to have had my consultation with him.

Dr Verma was superb. I had Corfial Steroid injections and with so much pain I doubted his optisim. I crawled into hospital with pain 9/10 from ruptured discs and pain was 5 next day when I walked out! 6 months and one more injection later I climbed to Everst Base Camp.
