There was a lot of confusion in regards to my follow up appointment post surgery. An appointment was booked and agreed for Monday morning, another appointment was booked for the afternoon in addition to the morning appointment, which I tried to rearrange for the following day and recieved confirmation, that appointment I found out later had not been booked and one was made for the following week, and I had called to confirm the appointment for Monday morning too. I found out later that the Monday morning appointment was cancelled but I was not told this until I arrived for the appointment early. Gill at reception was extremely helpful and was immediately on the case to help me as this was a wound check appointment. She spoke to Nikki and Bev and I was able to be seen very quickly. I appreciated all the help I was given by Gill and she helped me create my next appointment for 6 weeks time and navigate the situation well. The appointment itself was informative and very good. I believe there was a mix up with the lists for the day and it seemed to be that everyone just got confused with what appointments for me were needed to be rearranged/ cancelled. Everything was resolved quickly and calmly, and I thank everyone for their help in resolving this.

Mr Ashok Mohanty

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was very impressed with the care and attention I received from Mr Mohanty. Not only did he check on me after my procedure, but he phoned the next day and then came in later that evening, even though it was his day off. Initially, after my procedure, I had a catheter fitted. However, when they removed it, I encountered difficulties passing urine. Mr. Mohanty allowed me to go home with a catheter fitted and arranged to see me in his clinic the following day. About 10.00 that next day, Mr Mohanty phoned me to check that I had all the information I needed to attend his clinic (as he hadn’t been on site when I was discharged) and was very welcoming upon my arrival. This appointment went as he had explained and I left hospital without a catheter a few hours later. Since my procedure, I have been very amazed at the level of care and professionalism Mr. Mohanty has shown to me - he has phoned a number of times to check on my recovery and shown interest in me as a person, remembering some key facts about my life. He is an excellent practitioner and I am grateful for what he has done.

Dr Sotiris Nicholas

Anaesthetist

I cannot recommend Dr Sotiris Nicholas highly enough. He was my Consultant Anaesthetist for both of my C-sections, providing epidural anaesthesia, and the experience was truly exceptional each time. We deliberately chose Dr Sotiris for both deliveries because of his incredible calm, professionalism, and reassuring presence. From the moment we met him, he made me feel completely at ease and confident about the procedure. His explanations were clear, thoughtful, and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful situation feel controlled and safe. The epidurals were administered perfectly, with no complications or side effects, and I felt extremely well cared for throughout. His bedside manner is outstanding—kind, composed, and deeply attentive—which made a significant difference to my overall birth experience. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and care, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Sotiris Nicholas to any patient seeking an anaesthetist who combines exceptional clinical skill with genuine compassion and professionalism.

Mr Walter Cazzaniga

Urologist

Mr Cazzaniga told me more about my adrenal and kidney lesions in 30 mins than I had learnt over the past eleven months. Armed with that information I was able to challenge my nhs doctor on the decision to proceed with a biopsy on my kidney before completing tests to determine whether I had cushings syndrome and if the adrenal lesion was malignant. Mr Cazziniga had explained very clearly why it could be fatal to go ahead with the biopsy of the kidney lesion before completing these. . He explained why he suspected I had kidney cancer. It is strange to say, but it was the best £*** I have ever spent. Although I still do not have a definitive diagnosis I now know what is required. I have requested another appointment with Mr Cazziniga to test me for adrenal gland cancer and cushings syndrome. I will be forever thankful He managed to save my life before I even received a diagnosis. With my gained knowledge I hope to move forward more quickly. My only regret is not seeing him sooner.

Dr Mark Earley

Cardiologist

Very reassuring test and consultation. Sorry about being a bit late. Perhaps appointment time could include 30 minutes preparation time. I am happy to call on your services as needed rather than having annual stress tests. About the finances of aviation deaths: The surgical litigation industry amounts to more than £1 billion per year.

I saw the cardiologist as I couldn’t get appointments at my GP surgery. I was really impressed with the whole procedure. The Consultant was wonderful and was able to reassure me. He listened to me and later explained all the results of the tests. He did an Angiogram on me himself which I thought was a great idea as he could see my heart in real time, no report from a technician needed no wait. I had to have bloods taken by Debbie . A very nice nurse . Again I was made to feel comfortable and reassured with my problem. There is a plan in place and I return to see cardiologist again next week. I will definitely use the facility in the future for myself and family. Due to the chaos that is the NHS at present.

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Bhatti was the perfect doctor for our pregnancy & birthing journey. We felt so comfortable the whole way through our pregnancy which was entirely due to her tremendous expertise & competency. She was incredibly thorough in making sure my wife was in tip top shape prior to the birth and the procedure itself was seamles. She managed to cater for both my wife’s very relaxed nature and my highly strung one (!) which is no easy feat. Finally the whole healing process has been a dream, barely a mark on my wife following her Caesarean section and she has had a very straightforward and painless recovery. Thanks so much, we are eternally grateful. Lewis & Georgie

Cromwell Hospital

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

It was a little overwhelming as I was expecting to discuss fitting a coil and whilst that was mentioned, I was advised about having surgery which was unexpected. I found myself agreeing to the surgery despite not knowing much about it. The risks were not explained and I didnt find out how the procedure would be executed or potential recovery time that might be required. I feel a bit confused about whether this is the right course of action or not. I was not pleased to receive a letter that claimed the risks were explained to me, when they were not.

Mr Dylan Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently received treatment under the care of Mr Dylan Griffiths, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He took time to listen &, explain my condition clearly, and discuss treatment available. He arranged my procedure in the imaging department. The consultant radiologist Dr George was also excellent, he explained everything clearly & I felt supported and well-informed throughout. Thanks to both for their skill and guidance, I’ve made a fantastic recovery and feel genuinely grateful for the quality of care. I would highly reccomend .

I had an excellent experience with Dr Bhandari. He was very attentive and took the time to genuinely listen to all of my concerns. Dr Bhandari is extremely knowledgeable and explained the diagnosis and treatment plan clearly and in great detail, which was very reassuring. The echocardiogram and ECG was performed with great patience and care, with everything explained step by step. I felt well looked after throughout the appointment and treatment journey and would highly recommend Dr Bhandari.

Mr Michael Lamyman

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Lamyman has carried out two operations for me - both for Duputren's contracture, one on my left hand and one on my right hand. Both operations were very successful. My fingers are now straight again and I have full use of my hands. In my experience, Mr Lamyman is a brilliant surgeon. I am delighted with the outcome of both operations. He is kind, caring, personable and approachable, managing expections for the outcome and then exceeding them.

Dr Joseph Mills

Cardiologist

I had an excellent experience with Dr Joseph Mills. He very quickly identified the issue and clearly explained it along with next steps. His bedside manner was outstanding- professional and very reassuring- which immediately put me at ease. He also took the time to offer a range of practical suggestions to improve heart health. An excellent consultant and I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who may have a potential heart issue.

I was amazed by the e efficiency of the staff and how reassuring they were I was introduced to everybody involved, who were all very kind.. It was painless, over so quickly, the consultant Ayad Shafiq was talking to me all the time and the nurse I Fiona was with me throughout everything, even holding my hand through the procedure. I’m actually looking forward to my other eye appointment!!

I had a wonderful day at the Lister Hospital being looked after beautifully before and after my hip procedure. Janette, my nurse couldn't have been friendlier or more reassuring, the food I had was very good and fresh, and then to have a little sprinkling of reflexology on the 'menu' was icing on the cake! All in all a great experience.
