An excellent service provided (yet again) by Mr Hardwidge. Mr Hardwidge has been my neurosurgeon for the last 20 years and has always provided me with a service which is second to none. He will explain in great detail as to exactly what is required and the pros & cons about the surgery, he has an excellent bedside manner and checks on your progress whilst you are in hospital on a very regular basis. All of my surgery performed by Mr Hardwidge has been very successful over the years including my most recent back surgery. A truly caring professional who I have no doubt in recommending
