My second visit was a follow-up. During both consultations he discussed his findings in detail and at a level with I was able to understand and a pace I could follow. He was pleasant at all times and I felt I could ask any questions, no matter how trivial they might have been. The consultations ended with him outlining the next step for himself and me.

Mainly though, he showed a genuine concern for my welfare and situation that I am in. It was a pleasure to meet with him. Many thanks Michael.

Very impressed again, with, this my second similar proceeded which resulted in an almost pain free period to date.

~ Verified Patient

I saw Mr Bhagwati having suffered from lower back pain for decades. I've tried physiotherapy and osteopathy to resolve the issue, however the frequency and duration of lower back "flare ups" had increased, so made the decision to seek further medical help.

Mr Bhagwati examined me and recommended an MRI scan which was carried out quickly after which I had a further consultation where we discussed treatment options. The recommendation was for a nerve block injection, which was carried out a few weeks after the consultation.

The procedure was straightforward, quick and painless. The transformation has been remarkable - I no longer suffer from pain and my back mobility has improved dramatically.

Until after the procedure I hadn't realised how draining and energy sapping my relatively minor, condition had been.

I only wished I had opted for this solution sooner.

Thank you.

~ Private patient at Fitzwilliam Hospital

Dr Bhagawati has provided excellent care to myself. I had spinal surgery and the whole process from. Consultation to pre assessment, postoperative has all been fantastic. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and responds using appropriate language, avoiding medical jargon. He is empathetic and is evident that he can build great rapports with his patients. Despite my concerns not always being linked to my spine/surgery he has always taken the time to make the necessary referrals in order for optimum care delivery.

Overall, it’s have had a very positive experience from a friendly, knowledgeable, empathic, caring Consultant.

~ NHS patient at Luton and Dunstable Hospital

His knowledge is second to non. Very helpful and nothing is silly to ask. Very polite. Puts things into everyday terms and reality. He gives you the facts and options for everything and lets you decide.

I felt very safe in his care the last time I had sciatica in 2018/19. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to deal with my back issues. It’s the trust you build up with your consultant.

The only thing I feel let’s things down is the lack of communication when you get referred in the first place to MSK Wigmore. This was such a slow process which both times took over 5/6 months to even see Dr Bhagawati. When someone is in such severe pain with sciatica this is not showing patient care? Also this wait is very severe on a persons mental health.
