Mr Rath is everything you would hope for and more in a consultant — person-centred, holistic, and incredibly attentive. He truly listens and ensures you feel involved in decisions about your own care.
“Pins and needles” in my fingers turning into a claw. Mr Rath saw me within two weeks, explained the MRI carefully, and performed a key-hole discectomy. On waking from surgery I was completely free from pain — and home the following day.
After developing a crushed spinal cord, one name kept cropping up — Mr Rath. He performed keyhole surgery to limit trauma and hasten recovery. I was pain free within two weeks.
For 9 years I had severe lower back pain — doctors didn’t believe me. I went privately to Mr Rath at Nuffield Chester. Within two appointments I had a diagnosis and surgery plan. I’m 8 weeks post-op and doing brilliantly. I can’t thank Mr Rath enough for giving me a life again.
Great care from start to finish. The pain and numbness down my legs have completely gone after only 5 weeks — amazing, as I had been suffering for 3 years. I’m walking 2 miles a day with no discomfort.
Diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis at L3–L4 and L4–L5. Mr Rath performed lumbar decompression at Spire Cheshire. Six weeks post-op I can walk a mile with no leg pain or numbness. He has given me my life back.
I’m 83 and had been refused further surgery. As a last resort I contacted Mr Rath. He gave me hope and said he was willing to operate. I am now pain free.
Back and hip pain had ended my exercising and work. Within weeks of seeing Mr Rath I had been assessed, scanned, and had the issue explained. No surgery needed — physiotherapy is going well. Thank you for treating me as a patient and a person.
A quick, professional and informative consultation. The procedure was done with skill and care. I came away pain free for the first time in 12 months.
From the first appointment to the last Mr Rath was very understanding and spent time answering my questions. He made me feel very comfortable and was open and approachable.
Mr Rath was professional with a competent and friendly approach. Although major surgery, I felt no pain or discomfort. I’d like to thank Mr Rath and his team from the bottom of my heart.
I’d had debilitating pain in my back and leg since 2019. After an MRI at The Walton Centre, I was told there wasn’t really anything that could be done…

Mr. Rath's signature approach to spinal pathology.
Through an incision smaller than a fingernail, Mr. Rath removes disc fragments, decompresses nerves, and treats Bertolotti's syndrome — with most patients home the same day.
