“Dr. David Roytowski was recommended to me by my physician Dr. Hans Neethling after
the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis. Naturally one is hesitant and a tad fearful of any
procedure involving the spinal column and nervous system/roots. Dr. Roytowski’s calm
reassuring demeanor, and detailed explanation immediately put those fears at rest. He
explained the procedure in logical and understandable terms, with great patience. His
administrative ladies San-Mare, Nikita and Tilana made the pre-authorisation and
dealings with medical aid a breeze.
I went into theatre with full confidence that Dr. Roytowski will be able to rectify my spinal
stenosis. Before being wheeled into theatre he again explained the procedure, and
allayed any doubts and fears. Similarly the anaesthetist Dr Nick Meyersfeld inspired
confidence and showed compassion.
Dr. Roytowski is a consummate professional and I highly recommend him, without any
hesitation as a neurosurgeon. I do feel I was in the best hands for my procedure. After
the operation he checked in on me twice a day. Never rushed, always reassuring and
encouraging in his manner and speech.
I’m still in the recovery stage, but already moving around without any lower back, gluteal
and leg/calf pain and discomfort. In my opinion the operation was a success. I am
extremely grateful to Dr. Roytowski for taking me on as a patient, and performing a
successful laminectomy.”
