Most honest Neurosurgeon in London! I had two herniated discs in cervical spine with lot of symptoms where surgery was the only option. Owing to my other underlying health issues, Mr. Bull decided to move the surgery from a private hospital to a NHS hospital where better life support system and staff was available. Mr. Bull gave paramount importance to my safety and well-being and performed the surgery in NHS set-up. Thus, he forgo his own surgical fees and performed a superb neurosurgery to replace two discs successfully. All my severe symptoms are now resolved and I recovered quickly. I have not come across any doctor/surgeon who would do such a selfless act for a patient. A big ‘Thank You’ Mr. Bull. God bless you!

I can rest assured I am I the best possible hands for surgery, he involved me in every decision was very thorough and kind and literally was one of the nicest most genuine physicians I have worked with. His secretary is absolutely first class as well.

I saw Mr Bull for a second opinion as I had been told, by a previous consultant, that I had failed back surgery syndrome. The care, treatment and whole experience I had with Mr Bull and his team was just first class. I felt listened to and informed at all times. Mr Bull performed re-do lumber decompression surgery in November and now I have my life back. I absolutely recommend Mr Bull.
