An Evidence-Led Approach to Spinal Care
Why Patients Choose Dr. Banerjee, Spinal Surgeon in London
Every consultation with Dr Banerjee follows the same clinical discipline: a thorough diagnosis before any treatment is proposed, and surgery recommended only when the evidence clearly supports it. It’s an approach that has guided over two decades of orthopaedic spine practice in London, and it’s why patients return and refer others.
Evidence-Based Precision
No treatment plan is written until imaging and examination agree. Diagnosis comes first, always.
Conservative First
Surgery is the last option considered, never the first. Physiotherapy, injections and monitored recovery are explored before any operation.
Technological Excellence
Image-guided precision and minimally invasive spine surgery techniques enhanced recovery without compromising outcomes.
Patient Empowerment
Dr. Banerjee explains your diagnosis and treatment options, helping you make an informed choice about the treatment path that is right for you.
The Consultation Process
How Dr. Banerjee reaches the right diagnosis
Spinal pain rarely has one cause, which is why Dr Banerjee’s process starts with listening, not scanning. Each stage below builds toward a plan that’s proportionate to what’s actually wrong, never more treatment than the diagnosis calls for.
01
Listen, examine and diagnose.
A detailed history, physical examination and on-site imaging build a complete clinical picture before anything is proposed.
02
Conservative Before Surgical
Physiotherapy, medication and image-guided spinal injections are the default starting point for neck and back pain over 1,000 injections performed to date.
03
Surgery, Only When Indicated
When findings clearly point to surgery, patients are offered a minimally invasive plan, often as day-case treatment, with realistic expectations set from the outset.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most patients are seen within 24–48 hours at either the Harley Street or Battersea clinic, including same-week on-site imaging where needed.
How quickly can I get my intervention?
Most interventions are undertaken within two to three weeks of initial review.
Do I need a GP referral to see Dr Banerjee?
No referral is required to book a consultation. You’re welcome to self-refer directly, though a referral letter or previous scans (if you have them) can help speed up your first appointment.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
Smaller incisions mean less muscle disruption, lower infection risk, and, for many keyhole procedures, same-day discharge with a faster return to normal activity than traditional open surgery.
Are diagnostics available on-site?
Yes. Both Harley Street and Battersea have on-site imaging, so many patients can complete assessment and diagnosis in a single visit.
