Mr Reynolds understands that spine related pain or dysfunction for a patient could be a very intimidating prospect. Even with a cautious evidence-based approach to treatment some patients will have to choose to undergo surgery and that can be quite daunting. One must feel confident in the technical skills of one’s surgeon as well as their decision-making.

“I hope to inspire confidence in all of my patients that I have their best interests at heart, that their safety is paramount in my mind and that if surgery is appropriate they can place trust in my skills as a surgeon.”

Mr Reynolds has taken a lot from the 9 years that he has led the spinal oncology practice in Oxford, and will continue to utilise that experience to promote the same passion and attention to detail across a broader spectrum of pathology.
