Actual appointment was great, but I found the booking confirmation a little confusing. Had to chase after the initial contact with her PA. All worked out in the end and Dr Pilkington was lovely.

We met Dr Pilkington back in February 2017. Got a diagnosis the same day and started treatment two weeks later. Such a lovely lady, really positive and reassuring. Have been receiving amazing aftercare ever since.

Brilliant experience. She was really thorough in checking my daughter over. Had a great bedside manner with her, so much so my 2-year-old thought the trip to see her was a 'treat'. The consultants letter came over the same night and we have a clear plan of action for next steps.

Everything was perfect from the initial contact with Dr Pilkinton's PA to the appointment itself. Dr Pilkinton is very knowledgeable and listens to all your concerns. We are now waiting for a referral and will see Dr Pilkinton again in a few months for a review.

Dr Pilkington was fantastic ! She took the time to understand the full background, did a very thorough examination aand most importantly my son felt in great hands. She made him feel heard and gave him the level of assurance he was looking for. Overall I can’t recommend her enoug

Dr Pilkington was fantastic. She took the time to assess our daughter, listen to our concerns, and get us on the right pathway to undergo further tests. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr Pilkington was wonderful with our daughter - she examined her over zoom but it was no problem at all. I would highly recommend her.

Mr Lucas has been fantastic. He is an incredibly caring person who carefully considers my daughter’s quality of life alongside her treatment plan. I’m very grateful to him and the team at Portland and so far her treatment has been seamless and with great results.

After a great experience and successful spinal surgery with Mr Lucas for our eldest daughter, there was no question in our mind to contact him again when concerns for our youngest daughter emerged. We cannot convey our gratitude enough and unreservedly recommend his services.

My first visit with Mr Lucas until today has been fantastic. He put me at ease about the surgery and couldn’t have done anything more to have improved the experience. Since I have had the surgery my recovery has been excellent and the after care I received was phenomenal.
