Mr Selway has been excellent throughout my treatment. He took the time to fully understand my lower back problem and clearly explained the causes and the options available. He is doing everything possible to help improve and rectify the issue so I can return fully to active exercise. Reassuring, professional, and approachable, he always puts me at ease and I feel confident I am in very capable hands.

I know Mr Selway from 12 years ago when he performed an operation on my lumbar area and did a fantastic job of lumbar laminectomy. I have had no problems since. Mr Richard Selway remembered me from that time and I think that speaks volumes about the type of person he is. On this occasion he was just the same very professional and approachable person who put me at ease straight away. He talked me through my condition and examined MRI's, giving clear explanations throughout. I was in no doubt of the possible treatment alternatives and felt completely satisfied with his diagnosis. I am very happy to recommend Mr Richard Selway to anyone seeking a great Consultant Neurosurgeon. Many thanks Mr Selway.

I found Mr Selway excellent from start to finish. He explained everything very clearly to me during my initial consultation, what was causing my symptoms and how he proposed to cure those issues with a surgical procedure (Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy) On the day of my surgery, Mr Selway visited my room in the morning and spent time once again, going over my surgery procedure in great detail with myself and my wife, putting us both at ease and ensuring we knew exactly what would be happening during surgery. Post op, Mr Selway was very personable both immediately after surgery, when he visited me to see how i was feeling and to tell me a little about how the surgery went etc..... Then during my 5 week post op appointment, he was again very personable in discussing my progress and anticipated full recovery. I can't thank him enough for relieving me of what was, at times, excruciating pain. Thank You

Mr Selway is very caring and took the extra time required - we never felt rushed throughout the process.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
