Dr Doger explained the options available in a very clear manner that was understandable to us who had no prior medical knowledge of the procedures. He gave us all the options & told us the success rates and was not pushy at all with going forwards with the treatment. Overall, very knowledgeable & friendly doctor. His procedures have improved my father’s quality of life by 80-90%.

On arriving, I was a bit apprehensive as I have dealt with my back issues for many years and was waiting for another knock back. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Testimonial

I was recommended to see Dr Doger by my daughter (who is a doctor herself) and my own GP for chronic back pain. I found him to be very personable and thorough. I had a XXXX (procedure withheld) which has been very successful. I had no unpleasant side effects and within 3 days noticed an improvement which continued over the next week. I am now free of pain in my back and legs. I intend to start walking again with my dog. I cannot thank Dr Doger enough for his kind professional care.

Lynn Downing

Testimonial

I have received treatment for upper back pain from Dr Doger on a number of occasions and have always been extremely happy with the outcome. Dr Doger is always polite, friendly and professional. He explained the procedure in full, advised what I could expect in terms of recovery and what he hoped the longer term results would be. I would recommend Dr Doger and the Midland Pain Clinic to anyone needing help with long term pain and have already mentioned them to my Chiropractor in case they have other patients that may benefit from a consultation. As a result of the injections, I get months that are pain free and have been able to stop taking daily pain killers, for which I am very grateful and can not thank Dr Doger enough.

Dr Doger provide excellent care during a difficult time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I had been suffering severe pain from a slipped disc for several weeks and the desired treatment was unavailable due to the pandemic, he therefore devised an alternative treatment plan that put me on the road to recovery. I found Dr Doger very caring and humorous during all of my consultations and would recommend to anyone in a similar situation. 5/5!

The consultation with Dr Doger and subsequent treatment have resolved the issue I had been having with my lower back. The consultations were arranged very quickly and always informative with all of my questions answered.

I have been able to resume tasks and exercises I had previously struggled with.

Mr Derek Smith

Ms Vanessa Martin

Testimonial

I would like to thank Dr Doger for seeing me at the weekend. I self-referred for steroid injections due to a bulging disc. Upon examination Dr Doger advised my condition was too serious and I needed to attend A&E. Having been trying to get help for months via the NHS, this was the first physical examination I received. I had emergency surgery within 24 hours of my appointment. Had it not been for Dr Doger’s advice and accompanying letter for the A&E doctors; I fear I may still be in a position where I was being refused treatment and at risk of permanent paralysis. I am extremely grateful and cannot recommend his patient care highly enough.

Ms Vanessa Martin

Don Maclean

Testimonial

Having waited for several weeks for an appointment requested by our GP at an NHS pain clinic, we decided to consult Dr Doger privately as my wife was experiencing increasing pain following 2 strokes. We were impressed by Dr Doger who immediately understood my wife’s problems. He prescribed cream, pills and patches which have been effective in reducing my wife’s discomfort. We wish we had had the opportunity to consult Dr Doger much earlier.

Mr S Jones

Testimonial

Prior to my treatment, I struggled to walk any real distance without getting referred pain in my right leg. I was also slightly twisted when standing upright. Following my treatment with Dr Doger, the pain had gone. I have been able to walk as normal and have been able to stand straight when standing upright.

Would highly recommend Dr Doger

Mr S Jones

Mrs Patricia Anne

Testimonial

From my first visit I was feeling confident that Dr Doger would give me advice and a treatment plan for the next few months. I had injections in my facet joints which have given me over 85% back pain relief. I am likely to need further treatment but that is quite acceptable. From a patient perspective, Dr Doger is someone I would recommend.

I also had trochanteric bursa pain for more than 8 years which Dr Doger injected and I have had over 70% relief. From being reluctant to doing any activity; I have managed to redecorate my home. I have found bending, balancing, kneeling etc is now not uncomfortable. Pain does not halt me anymore.

Mrs Patricia Anne
