From our first meeting, Dr Doger was attentive and conscientious. He obviously recognised the distress I was in and was willing to try other therapies and procedures when a particular remedy was not giving any relief. As time went on, I was beginning to get apprehensive that anything was going to ease my discomfort, but Dr Doger persevered and thankfully a procedure involving injections has given a measure of relief. However Dr Doger has left the door open for me to call on him again when the effects of the injection have worn off and he has provided contact details to follow up with a physiotherapist to see if he can give advice on improving my situation. This on-going interest in my condition is in marked contrast to my experience in other areas of health service. Overall I have been very satisfied with my experience of the care provided by Dr Doger and indeed with all the attention I have received at Spire Healthcare starting with my appointment with Mr XXXXX and continuing with the radiologists who carried out the scans and all the staff involved with the two lots of injections I received.

Dr Doger was very friendly and professional from consultation to the procedure to the follow up. Any nerves I had prior were eliminated due to him and his team. Since my procedure I have been back to living normally, without pain.

Dr Doger has helped me considerably. I can now return to my normal activities including sports, which I have missed. Dr Doger is approachable and friendly and has looked after me very well. He explained everything clearly and put me at ease during every procedure. Thank you.

I have had severe leg pain with difficulty in walking for several years. I have consulted several other pain specialists and spinal surgeons during the past few years who performed various procedures. Dr Doger suggested an L4/5 epidural and a medication regime. I am not pain free but the pain is much more manageable and my mobility has improved. I have agreed with him to continue with the tablet regime for the next few weeks. Dr Doger explained everything as we went along and I have found consultations helpful and informative. If my pain worsens in the future, I would have no hesitation in a further consultation with him.

From the initial consultation with Dr Doger, I felt that he understood my pain issues. I finally felt reassured that there was help out there for me. Dr Doger always explains things well and checks your understanding. All of the team who I have dealt with are polite, friendly, caring and understanding. I have spoken highly about my experience to others already. I would recommend coming here for your health issues. I think everyone in Dr Doger’s team is wonderful.

I had X (withheld ) consultations and X (withheld) procedures with Dr Doger. He is very engaged and interested. He made me feel comfortable and at ease, which was very important for me. Needless to say he is professional and my back pain is greatly reduced. I am very happy with the results.

I have had excellent treatment from Dr Doger. Very helpful and kind.

I am very pleased with Dr Doger’s care and with his health advice. Everything was explained to me thoroughly and everything has gone to plan after years of dealing with pain myself.

Very pleasant doctor. Took time to understand my issues and address the treatment. Explained everything in step by step along the procedure. I am happy with my treatment results and I have achieved atleast 75% relief from my back pain.

I had Radiofrequency treatment performed by Dr Doger. I have had excellent and at the moment I am pain free. The pain relief was instant which is fantastic.

I would like to thank all the staff at the hospital for the care & assiatnce with my procedure. I would also like to personally thank Dr Doger for all his help and advice and also for the relief I have had since he carried out the procedure.

I am a medical professional myself. I had suffered with coccyx pain for a few months and had seen various specialists, even went through a colonoscopy. Then I came to see Dr Doger who reassured me that injections into my spine hopefully would benefit. I had the procedure under Dr Doger’s care and after a few days I was pain free. I had forgotten what it was like to be pain free!!!!

THANK YOU DR DOGER

Had injections in my lower back by Dr Doger 3 weeks ago and I am pain free. Excellent care during the procedure.

Having experienced many years of back pain when several physio sessions did not work; I finally went to see Dr Doger who recommended radiofrequency denervation. The change has been literally life changing. Being able to get out of bed like a normal 44 year old and being able to be active in my children’s games is fabulous. The overall care was so wonderful. All staff seemed to genuinely care about the pain and my well being.

My recommendation is- don’t live with the pain; it doesn’t get better only worse. Let the spine team take care of you and take your life back.

I attended Dr Doger’s clinic following persistent lower back pain for over 2 years. He immediately understood my condition and was extremely sympathetic to my desire to continue an active sporting life, even in my late 50’s!!! Initial outcomes are super encouraging.

I have been very impressed with the service I have received from Dr Doger. He is very friendly and great at what he does!! Would definitely recommend.

After seeing multiple orthopaedic and spinal surgeons (details withheld); I sought private treatment with Dr Doger who arranged a day admission for spine injections that thankfully worked. I cannot thank Dr Doger enough; pain is gone after 2 years.

After 2 years of lower back pain that was gradually eroding my quality of life, I came to see Dr Doger at the Spire. He diagnosed a problem with nerve pain in my lower spine and within 2 weeks I was booked to have denervation to control the pain. Today I have had a follow up with Dr Doger to report my progress, which has been positive.

Dr Doger has been incredibly kind and supportive, as have all the staff.

My stay in the hospital was just for the day but the surroundings made the whole experience as pleasant as possible. I would recommend the Spire to anyone who cannot wait any longer to see a consultant. I am on the road to getting my mobility back and cannot thank Dr Doger enough.

I came a few months ago with sciatica pain. Dr Doger was really helpful and thanks to his medical prescription my life has changed in a really positive way. Dr Doger has a great sense of listening and helped me fight the pain.

Dr Doger has been extremely professional and helpful with my lower back treatment. He provided great advice for pain relief. The interaction and the facilities were excellent at Spire Parkway Hospital.

Dr Doger has made a significant difference to my quality of life following treatment for back pain. He was clear and to the point with each step of the process. He made sure I was comfortable to proceed.

Dr Doger carried out a procedure on my lower back, which resulted in pretty well immediate pain relief. Still some work to do (physiotherapy input) to fix my problem but so far it has all been good.

Dr Doger is very personable and clearly knowledgeable and experienced in his field. I am very pleased with the treatment I received from him at all stages and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

Dr Doger has been very helpful and supportive. He is very patient and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend him. The service he provides has been invaluable.

Dr Doger explained all the various stages of the procedures for the treatment. I am very satisfied with the care and attention shown to me.

Seeing Dr Doger has been a high point of my last 5 years since my back pain started. He was very understanding and guided me through the various pain relief options available until he found the one that has worked. Such a relief, I cannot thank him enough.

Thank you, Dr Doger; after years of suffering with back and hip pain and me visiting different specialists; YOU were the one to make a difference. You listened, showed true empathy and made it your mission to put me on the road to recovery. I now feel better than I have felt in years and finally have my life back to normal without the painful restrictions.

Dear Dr Doger; I just wanted to send my thanks for treating me. You allowed me to get my life back and I cannot thank you enough for it. Thank you so much for the extra care and attention you provided for me last week you went above and beyond what was needed, I cannot thank you enough.

I found Dr Doger very polite, professional and helpful. He was on time for my appointments and during my consultations explained my symptoms and cause to me in detail which I found very helpful. I am very pleased but above all very professional service.

Dr Doger has been understanding from the start. I self-funded my problem for 3 yearsat other places and got nowehere. Dr Doger found my diagnosis more or less straight away and now my pain is much better. Highly recommended.

Came to the clinic for injection for sciatic pain relief in February. Staff were excellent, very caring. Couldn’t have been better.

Dr Doger has treated me for chronic low back pain. He is kind and considerate; he has performed procedures which have resulted in more than 50% reduction in my pain.

I saw Dr Doger for neck pain issues. The treatment and management of my situation has been first class. I have gone from constant agony and not being able to work for 44 years of my working life to being able to return to normal life. Absolutely delighted.

Overall, I’m pleased and highly satisfied with the treatment. The pain has been greatly reduced. When I received my treatment- I would have appreciated more information of the recovery time and that I would have to be wait in the hospital for a few hours after the procedure (which I wasn’t prepared for).

Other than that; the service and the treatment has been excellent and I feel he has looked after my needs.

Prompt service, no waiting. Very good care and explanation.

My experience with Dr Doger was excellent. He is extremely pleasant; explains what is wrong and what is required precisely and concisely. I felt well looked after while understanding each step of the process.

I was referred to Dr Doger 12 months ago with back and neck pain. I was a nervous patient unsure how to get this on-going issue resolved. I have had back injections, radiofrequency denervation and trigger point injections. The 12 months have been a journey. Dr Doger is confident in his treatments and course of treatment required.

12 months on I’m in a different place for the better. The procedures enabled me to have physiotherapy and get moving again. I still have to manage flare-ups but I’m able to do normal daily things which previously I was not able to.
Dr Doger has been considerate to my situation and helped me to a “mostly” pain free lifestyle. I would like to thank Dr Doger for his help and support.

Received an appointment very quickly following my referral. Dr Doger explained the procedure and expected outcome very clearly. In hospital care and aftercare has been top quality.

I was treated by Dr Doger nearly 3 years ago. From beginning to end Dr Doger was exceptionally good with me. During my final treatment for my back condition I was advised the benefit could last between 12-18 months. Nearly 3 years later; I am still pain free. I could not recommend Dr Doger enough, my quality of life has been remarkable.

Dr Doger was punctual and was very polite. He is helpful and easy to talk to. He has cured my pain.

Dr Doger has been very helpful and thorough with my daughter in helping her deal with chronic pain (other details withheld by clinic as patient was a child).

Experience with Dr Doger has been excellent. Very informative, kind and explained process and procedures in layman terms so all is understood clearly. Would recommend his services.

Saw Dr Doger in clinic with my back pain. He explained everything in detail and what my procedure was all about. I felt very comfortable after he explained everything. I have had xxx (details withheld for confidentiality reasons) procedures and I am 95% fixed. I have been referred for physiotherapy now for the last 5%.

Thank you Dr Doger!!!

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Dr Doger listened and explained every stage taking time to answer all my questions. Would highly recommend Dr Doger.

When I first visited Dr Doger; I was in significant pain. He diagnosed it as neuropathic pain and gave a treatment plan; I was so relieved that someone was helping me. I have been able to return to normal work and life activities thanks to Dr Doger. Thank you.

I was referred to Dr Doger having suffered sciatic pain for over 6 months caused by a herniated disc, which – literally – made every movement both night and day excruciating and exhausting. From the start he clearly explained his plans for reducing the pain with a view to physiotherapy in the long term. During my Lumbar Epidural injection, he explained each step of the process which helped to alleviate my needless worries over what was actually quite a painless procedure. I am now free of sciatic pain, walking upright and on my way to returning to a normal life style. I would recommend Dr Doger and the pain clinic to anyone suffering from sciatic pain of any kind.

Hospital visits are rarely a pleasure but Dr Doger’s courteous and pleasant manner made it so. His professionalism is very reassuring and his skill beyond doubt. He improved my quality of life enormously. I will be forever grateful.

‘Dr Doger is excellent Can’t thank him enough’.
