"Everyone I met was brilliant"

About: Bideford Hospital / Therapies North Devon District Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as a service user),

I was diagnosed by spine specialist Mr Wafai after scans of various back stenosis back and also a warn hip. It was arranged with the Bideford physiotherpy team to attend various exersizes to strengthen my back muscles and flexibility. In the eight weeks course, in my opinion, the team very professional in helping me prepare for the surgery to come.

I saw several persons all of which helped my encouraging me to gain confidence and put as much effort in as I could. After mr Wafai did infact carry out surgery. Which seems to have gone well. All the staff and doctors I met were brilliant. Explained everything to me. Putting me at ease.

My real story started before covid and somehow I got over looked until my case was passed to my Wafai after scans. But in each case when I saw the hospital I have been treated very well.
