I have had a broad based training in neurosurgery at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, where I have developed interests and expertise in spinal surgery, surgical treatment of facial pain and cranial nerve hyperactive syndromes and stereotactic surgery for functional brain disorders.

What is trigeminal neuralgia (TN)? Symptoms, causes and diagnosis
Mr Nik (Nikunj) Patel, a Consultant Neurosurgeon, describes trigeminal neuralgia as a rare form of severe facial pain, often regarded as the worst imaginable pain that occurs due to a lesion in the trigeminal nerve in the face. Medication is typically used as the first treatment measure but if dosages and side effects become too high then referral to a neurosurgeon is the next step.
COVID-19 testing or antibody tests are not available as a standalone service at Spire Bristol Hospital.
