After more than 32 years, I am virtually pain free. I no longer need to take copious amounts of pain relief medication to keep me mobile. I am now free of the pain that rendered me a virtual invalid at times.

I consider you not only my Consultant Surgeon, but also a person close to my heart. You have escorted me on this journey with professionalism, honesty, empathy, and most of all, care. You change and save lives. You most certainly have done that for me.

Mr. Panchmatia has earned nothing but our absolute respect and trust for his invested, conscientious and supportive approach to his work. My mothers level of pain went from 10 to 0; from constant near-unbearable pain, to completely pain free.

After 3-4 years of steroid injections to cure leg and buttock pain, I was referred to Mr. Panchmatia [for surgery], who explained thoroughly the procedure and possible risks. I decided to go ahead with the operation for L4/5 decompression and instrumented fusion. Upon recovery, I found I was pain free, and over the weeks of recuperation found no need for pain relief medication.
