Mr Radu Popa

I support patients with problems such as degenerative disc disease, slipped discs, back and leg pain, spinal deformities and fractures. I offer both non-surgical treatments, including targeted spinal injections, and surgical options where needed, always focusing on the most appropriate and effective approach for each individual.

A key focus of my practice is minimally invasive spinal surgery, including decompressions and fusion procedures. These techniques are designed to preserve as much of the surrounding muscle as possible, helping to reduce recovery time and support a quicker return to normal activities.

I also perform a range of specialist procedures, including discectomy, laminectomy, vertebroplasty and coccyx surgery, as well as diagnostic investigations such as discography.

I have completed advanced fellowship training in complex spinal surgery at leading centres including Oxford University Hospitals, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore. My experience has been shaped by working alongside highly regarded spinal surgeons in the UK and internationally.

My approach is centred on clear communication and personalised care, ensuring patients fully understand their condition and feel confident in their treatment plan, with a strong focus on recovery and long-term outcomes.
