The best gp and mine for over 20 years

I had a great experience with Dr Nida Chammas, she made sure to answer all my questions and helped me understand all of my results and what these might mean. I felt like she was very thorough, helpful and approachable. Thank you!

Efficient, clear communicator. Not very warm or charming. Business like.

Dr Kaur was very warm, kind and took the time to understand my problem. I would definitely return to her clinic and appreciate her advice and solutions.

Professional, understanding, caring, give time to the patient

Calm, professional, pleasant, empathetic and efficient. Excellent patient journey .

My gallbladder was full of stones and needed to be removed to reduce risk of pancreatitis. AXA had referred me yet again to a consultant who was not a surgeon. I would have had to call AXA and have another appointment with a surgeon but Dr Vasilikostas fitted me in after his clinic finished and scheduled me for surgery within two weeks. He was kind, reassuring and professional.

The reason I chose Dr Rama was that he worked at a top London NHS hospital, Kings College, as well as doing private work. When I first met him, I found him easy to talk to, informative and I could ask him anything. Straight away I felt confident that he was the right person to do this operation for me. Before you have the operation Dr. Rama put me in touch with a dietitian (Kate Walker). I had two meetings with Kate who gave me a pre-op diet to follow, a post-op diet and six weeks after the operation I could start eating normally again. Two weeks before I had the operation, I was given a pre-op. It was discovered that I had very high blood pressure. I made an appointment with my GP and was put on blood pressure tablets and the anesthetist was informed. By the time I had the operation my blood pressure came down to a safe level. I arrived at Blackheath hospital at 7:00am in the morning and Dr Rama came to see me and went through the procedure. I had the operation at around 11.00am. I started to arouse as soon as I came back to the ward but was very dozy, I slept most of the day. The following morning, I woke up at around 4:00am and with the help of a very nice nurse I got out of bed and went for a walk. To my surprise I felt fine and not in any pain. However, I did have about five little cuts on my stomach which have healed well. After two weeks I felt back to normal. I had the operation on the 6 July 2023 and weighed 16.11 stone. I now weigh 12 stone (15 May) and by the time a year is up I should have lost 6 stone. I feel amazing, I am no longer pre-diabetic and a paramedic at my GP’s surgery is looking into taking me off my blood pressure tablets as I’m now in the normal range. My asthma is much better too. Dr Rama was fantastic, he looked after me so well and I have no hesitation in recommending him. He gave me his mobile telephone number and I know I can contact him anytime, which is very reassuring. I’ve had two follow up appointments with him and was given a blood test to make sure everything was ok. I have not felt this well in a long time, just wish I had this procedure years ago. Thank-you Dr Rama, you have changed my life.

Mr El Hasani operated on me 15 years ago and when I needed further surgery recently I knew who I wanted to be my surgeon again, despite the need to travel for this. He is a very skilled surgeon and my first choice. I highly recommend him. He is friendly and has a lovely twinkle in his eye but very professional. I trust him implicitly.

After a desultory 6 minute phone appointment with our NHS GP for my 91 year old mother who barely concealed her disinterest, I was grateful to receive a recommendation to Dr Dan. The difference between the two experiences was chalk and cheese. We had our appointment online which was the easiest option for mum. The first big difference is that a 30 minute consultation with Dr Dan is standard. Sheer luxury! Dan actively listened, showed interest, he was both friendly and respectful, directing his questions to mum rather than me as her carer which pleased us both greatly. His responses were decisive, reassuring and crucially, compassionate towards an elderly lady who was more than a bit scared by her recent health challenges. He was willing to think outside the box on her health issue which required exactly that approach. We have had two subsequent follow ups and have been similarly delighted by the advice received. Dr Dan is skillfully assisted by Nathan who runs the The Wright Practice extremely professionally and with great good humour. I’m very relieved to have made the move from our NHS practice to Dr Dan.
