Mr Bob Chatterjee has quite honestly given me my life back. I had a spinal lower back decompression operation in September 2020. I have already regained full mobility and I am well on my way to a full recovery, in only three weeks. During this period of uncertainty surrounding the Covid19 pandemic, I was even more fearful. But Mr Chatterjee and his care team were 100 percent cautious and meticulous with Covid-19 protocols, which left me feeling confident to go forward with the operation. He was absolutely first class, professional and knowledgeable, his bedside manner was calming and I felt fully informed, and safe in his hands. My wife was also kept informed after the operation which was important to me. After-care was also excellent. I throughly recommend Mr Bob Chatterjee, I consider him to be the best on all levels. I am so very thankful.

 

May God bless him and his care team.

CONDITIONS TREATED

I have developed a specialist practice focusing on the traumatic and degenerative aspects of spinal surgery. I offer treatment for a whole variety of spinal problems. In cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions, I treat simple and complex spinal problems with a variety of techniques including microdiscectomy, decompression of the spine, spinal fusion and disc replacements.

 

I also offer the very latest techniques in spinal surgery including minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery, vertebroplasty, and non fusion technology for back pain in order to treat your condition with the least damage to your own tissues. Complimenting my surgical procedures, I offer a wide variety of injection techniques for the treatment of spinal pain.

​

The philosophy of my treatments are twofold.  I always try to help my patients without surgery where possible. If surgery is required, I use minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques to allow quicker recovery and lessen the discomfort.
