“Dr Lewis Holford was such a professional in his approach to my uniquely difficult situation (Being an addict in recovery and needing pain medication is a life-threatening issue) he did a full assessment on me which was very thorough and very different to my experience at Sydney spine clinic. I cannot speak more highly of Dr Lewis as his understanding and expertise was a pleasure to experience. Today I’m in recovery from a steroidal injection that he gave me yesterday and have already had a follow up appointment to sort out my complex medication issues and was also called last night to see if I was ok. I have felt held since the first appointment to the surgery, to the follow up and am in good hands! I’d also like to thank the whole team from the receptionists to the P.A and to all the medical staff at the hospital who assisted and comforted me during my procedure including the anaesthetist who was very supportive. Special thanks to Jessie just for being there. All in all, the best medical treatment I have received so far. Thank you, Guys, !!! and Merry Christmas to you all… see you in the new year!

Originally a general practitioner in private practice, Dr. Chow is focussed solely on pain management and has used laser therapy to treat patients since 1988.
