I've had an e-consultation with Mr Furtado and he explained the MRI findings very clearly and provided me with different options to move forward. He was very responsive in follow-up questions I had and in general he was very knowledgable, friendly, and approachable.

Slightly frustrated by the IT crash which prevented a same day MRI opportunity but hey, technology at its best. Am hoping to be contacted soon with an alternative opportunity for said scan.

I had a surgery with Mr Furtardo which did not resolve the issue and unfortunately Mr Furtardo has been disagreeing with the scan reports and dismissing the cause of my pain. His secretary has been ignoring my communications for follow up appointments. Highly disappointed.

I just had C5/C6 Cervical Disc Replacement procedure with Mr Furtado with his surgical team. Let me tell you, He is a top spine consultant and one of the best spinal surgeon's in the UK. He is very well spoken, very intelligent, very kind and caring, sympathetic and he was the only consultant to educate me on my MRI scan results and showed me what was going on in my spine, whiles others previously were hiding them and prescribing me with pills for pain relief for a structural problem. He was honest and offered me the best treatment. I had full confidence going in theatre that he would do a great job and I would come out of theatre with no complications, and he did not disappoint. I am very lucky I found him and I will be always grateful to him as I already feel so much better, excellent pain relief only 3 days after my surgery. I am confident I will making more and more progress whiles my nerves start to heal. I would recommend Mr Furtado to my family members and anyone else who is suffering from back pain, especially a prolapsed disc as Mr Furtado can fix you surgical to relief the pain.

Mr Furtado is sent to us as a gift from god, the best surgeon in his field, a very caring man, with a lovely personality. I would recommend anyone with ongoing back pain to make an appointment.
