DR ALISTER RAMACHANDRAN - PAINMED REVIEWS
My mother, aged 79, suffers from Spinal Arthritis and intense spinal pain. Her GP referred her to Dr. Ramachandran for pain management in order to provide effective pain management services to enhance her quality of life in being able to do her regular daily activities as she used to do and to enjoy her senior years. During our last 4 consultations, I have witnessed and experienced Dr. Ramachandan as an excellent health professional. The following are some of the key professional qualities that I have witnessed: 1) He is extremely friendly, approachable and he does not suffer from ‘professional dominance and/or attitude’, 2) He engages in ‘empathetic listening’, rather than simply ‘hearing’; 3) He very skillfully utilises ‘humor’ to ‘ease patent anxiety and tension' during consultations 4) He engages in skillful ‘reflective listening’ by ‘cross-checking’ key patient ‘understandings’ of his medical procedures and his medication and dosage related instructions. In conclusion, I have personally witnessed and experienced Dr. Ramachandran to be an excellent health professional. - Dr. AKR
I met Dr Ramachandran. I was suffering from severe back pain. I had the necessary procedures and have experienced phenomenal relief. In my experience Doc. R is a caring and attentive person. He always listened to me and explained the procedures clearly. Follow-ups were conducted in the same manner. If you are seeking a personable and caring pain man, you have found him!! I highly recommend him. - PB

DR LEWIS HOLFORD - NORTHERN PAIN CENTRE REVIEWS
Dr Lewis Holford was such a professional in his approach to my uniquely difficult situation (Being an addict in recovery and needing pain medication is a life-threatening issue) he did a full assessment on me which was very thorough and very different to my experience at Sydney spine clinic. I cannot speak more highly of Dr Lewis as his understanding and expertise was a pleasure to experience. Today I'm in recovery from a steroidal injection that he gave me yesterday and have already had a follow-up appointment to sort out my complex medication issues and was also called last night to see if I was ok. I have felt held since the first appointment to the surgery, to the follow-up and am in good hands! I'd also like to thank the whole team from the receptionists to the P.A and to all the medical staff at the hospital who assisted and comforted me during my procedure including the anaesthetist who was very supportive. Special thanks to Jessie just for being there. All in all, the best medical treatment I have received so far. Thank you, Guys, !!! and Merry Christmas to you all... see you in the new year!
I am extremely thankful to Dr Holford and his wife Dr Martine for their high level of commitment, professionalism and care. Every member of Dr Holford’s team worked so efficiently and kindly, I felt completely at ease, not only on the day of my procedure, but in my dealings before and after. I can’t help feeling emotional when I think about the high quality care I received. I only wish I had made the decision earlier
Have given some quality of life back to me and my family.
