Pain Free Lumbar Puncture Expert

Alberto and his colleagues performed a lumbar puncture on my scoliosis back recently. Alberto and his staff were excellent in every way to me as I was expecting it to be painful but have to say that Alberto is brilliant because I had absolutely no pain... not even with the local anaesthetic. This man is a genius, he says that the computer did it but a computer isn't kind, encouraging and caring to patients, Alberto is very kind, encouraging and a top consultant. Please do something really special for this very special specialist.  Thank you Western General Hospital for your excellent care - I felt very safe in your hands, I am extremely grateful!
