Dr Shetty was very understanding and empathetic of the pain that I had been suffering with and the journey I had been on with all of the other medications and therapies I had tried and which failed. He was easily able to put my mind at ease and answered any question I asked. Dr Shetty gave me a lot of information which enabled me to make a decision that I was totally comfortable with and I knew exactly what to expect and when. I can’t fault Dr Shetty in any way

I have had no previous experience of pain management support, so had nothing on which to base any expectations. From our first meeting Dr Shetty made me, as his patient, the sole focus of his attention. He asked questions and listened attentively to my responses, offering clear explanations of the structures and processes that he would follow, until a positive result could be achieved. Dr Shetty has a calm manner that put my husband and I at ease at each point of contact. He is able to move easily between the necessary conversation related to the medical issue at hand and maintain a level of personal conversation that makes one relaxed under challenging circumstances.

I visited Dr Shetty after a long back and forth with various consultants regarding ongoing chronic pelvic and lower back pain post an endometriosis excision surgery. Dr Shetty took so much time to listen to my experience, recognise the challenges I was facing and demonstrate that he cared about my health. I never felt like 'just a patient'. I am so thankful that I have left feeling that the door is open if I need it in future and was particularly grateful that Dr Shetty made sure I was aware of all my options moving ahead rather than despairing that I was at a dead end. Thank you so much to the team for taking care of me.

Doctor Ashrish Shetty is a highly skilled individual who gained my confidence to allow him to fit a spinal stimulator for me. He listens and used his skill to perform with great care an operation for me that has allowed me to have some wonderful less painful times now. I would recommend him to anyone and say you can trust him totally.

I would like to express my sincere gratefulness to this very kind, caring and compassionate Doctor, ( Professor Shetty ), who was instrumental in helping me to be able to gain my life back by being able to move around again.This is because I have been suffering with Pelvic Pain over 7 years as a result of Inflammatory condition as I have reached the Pre-Menopausal period and affecting the Gynecological area and as a result I was unable to stand on my legs when the pain and burning sensation strucked me and as such forcing me to sit down and wait for a long time for the pain to subside if any at all with no cure or even Medication to reduce the symptoms a little bit. After many years of suffering a Biopsy of the area revealed the symptoms were as a result of some kind of Skin Inflammation which may affect some Women during Menopause. When introduced to this Doctor, he was amazing with great confidence establishing what the problem is and what best can it be helped. He decided to do a Nerve Root Injection through steady stages to ensure optimum result. Now, I am much much better through his support and have regained my life back again with over 90% improvement after the procedure. I honestly, cant thank this very lovely Doctor enough for what he has done for me by transforming my life for the better.
