I am a spinal and back pain specialist. I am a general Orthopaedic Surgeon with a specialist practice in low back pain surgery. I do not operate on other parts of the body – hips, knees, shoulders or hands although I can offer advice. My private practice is similar to my NHS practice. I believe patients need to be involved in their treatment, and I am delighted to spend time discussing treatment options, fears and concerns with them.

Madhurie has been a Consultant Anaesthetist in practice with Mr Rajiv Bajekal since 2008. She is a subspecialty interest and passion for Anaesthesia and Analgesia for Orthopaedic (mainly Spines) and Obstetric surgery. These two sub-specialities offer her the opportunity to indulge in plenty of patient interaction whilst allowing plenty of job satisfaction as the outcome in both specialities leads to the alleviation of pain! She loves to dabble in watercolour painting and learn singing in the ancient Indian Hindustani Classical tradition. She is happiest when organising parties, get-togethers and events.

Dawn Flatt has worked for Mr Bajekal for 22 years. Her interest in a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle has renewed her interest in cooking and a holistic approach to well-being.
During her leisure time Dawn enjoys Yoga both as a student and although officially retired, does teach occasional private classes, and she engages with her local community by organising a monthly coffee morning for the elderly of her village and raising funds for her local village hall. She is also a Parish Councillor.
Despite a busy schedule she will find solace in the pages of a good book whenever she can and enjoys a vibrant social life which enriches her connection with friends and family.
