First-Class Care from Consultation to Recovery

Back in Dec 2024 I was suffering with Groin , Leg and Back pains and was given an appointment with Physio as opposed to seeing a doctor . I was sent for an XRay and the diagnosis was start of Arthritis , course of action , just learn to live with it. Early 2025 i saw a further Physio and was added to a list to see a consultant -waiting time 18-24 Months. It was then that i contacted the Spire and got an Appointment to see Mr Obak. Right from the first meeting Mr Obak displayed and interest in my situation, what i was hoping to achieve from the appointment. The first course of action was an xray, not laying down horizontally as through NHS but standing vertically . Within 10 minutes i was back in the consulting room with the xray on the computer screen , and Mr Obak showed me the xray of both hips and explained what the issue was with the Left Hip . It was not as suggested arthritis , but the Cartlidge had worn away and is was living with Bone on Bone scenario. There was no option for course of injection etc only course of action was Total Hip Replacement . Mr Obak talked me through the process and gave me information about the procedure and the process and advised what i should expect , pre and post operation and then into the recovery period. The procedure was subsequently booked in . Pre operation i was kept fully informed and the required visits to Spire undertaken . On the day of the procedure , Mr Obak was one of the First persons i saw on the day coming in to offer re assurance and to talk through the process ahead. Pre surgery in the operating theatre again Mt Obak was talking through what him and the team would be doing and how the process would go . Surgery was undertaken and went very well . Later that Day Mr Obak called into see me , advised that he had reviewed the Xrays and he was extremely pleased with how the operation had gone and was expected a full recovery . Post recovery went well and last week i met Mr Obak who undertook an inspection of the Hip and discussed with myself how i was feeling and how my recovery was going . The pain had gone straight after the operation and movement and flexibility returning as i work with the Spire Physio Team – Many Thanks to them. Throughout the whole process Mr Obak displayed Empathy, Reassurance, Professionalism and a genuine interest in my issues and ultimate solution and recovery to enable me to have a pain free Life . From my perspective couldn’t have asked for any more , made a major significant surgery process understandable and performed with extreme professionalism Thank You . Highly recommend Mr Obak
