Dr Andrew Watson sincerely regrets that he became suddenly unable to continue in practice in mid August 2026. This was due to a sudden unforseen illness. I also extend equal regret to the many colleagues that supported me over the decades. I had the best job in the world until suddenly I didn't. Thank you very much for your support over the years.

You may well already have your own alternative to me, but in case not, here are some suggestions:

Dr Vinay Ketkar in Birmingham: does everything.
Dr Sandeep Khosla 07813 643587 in Derby doesn't do all spines, nor does James Tomlinson, physio at Fit2Go in Nottingham, but they both do all the non-spine work.
Dr Simon Petrides at Blackberry Clinic, Milton Keynes, does everything.
Dr Keith Bush in Harley Street does everything.

All their contact details are on the internet.

Whichever path you pursue, I hope it works out well for you.
