Mr. Tom Marjoram Spine surgeon
MBChB, MD. MRCS(Eng), FRCS(Tr&Orth)
T Marjoram Spine LTD.
Specialist spine surgery in Norfolk and Waveney
Specialist surgery isn’t all about the operating.
I pride myself on:
- Clear Communication
- Appropriate Investigation
- Honest Explanations
- Specialist surgery only if it’s the right path for you.
Care Philosophy
My philosophy is to guide you through the decision-making process giving you the information you need to be able to make the decision that’s right for you, but being honest if surgery isn’t likely to provide an answer you’re looking for.
“Spine and back problems can have a huge impact on your life, Surgery isn’t for everyone but can really help some people. As much of the specialist skill is in the assessment and decision making as it is in the surgery. The final decision always rests with the patient, and I always strive to offer a no-pressure approach to my shared decision making in clinic”

Contact us
We will do our best to accommodate your requests within the availability of clinic time and resources.
Initial consultation and assessment
This is a face to face assessment with a specialist surgeon where we will explore your problem and combine your symptoms with a focused examination to formulate an initial plan of action that suits you
Appropriate investigation
Often Spine conditions will require further investigation to confirm the suspected diagnosis and to guide ongoing management, we can arrange this for you as required.
A discussion about the diagnosis and guided decision making
Mr Marjoram will talk you through the available options with an explanation that you can understand. This will allow us to reach a joint decision about the best way forward for you.
Surgery (only if its right for you)
Not everyone will need or want spine surgery and the decision around this is not always clear cut. Every effort will be made to ensure that the decision to proceed with surgery is the right one for you.
Supervised recovery
Of course, there is a recovery period expected after any surgery and this will be explained to you before you agree to proceed. Mr Marjoram will guide you through the recovery pathway and support your return to normal life.
-
Discectomy
Surgical removal of the protruding portion of the disc that’s putting pressure on the nerve and causing pain. A very common and successful operation in the right patients.
-
