Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Sadia Bhatti was my OB in consultant-led pregnancy and post-pregnancy care at the Kensington Wing, Chelsea Hospital. We met her when I was already in the third trimester. She was very professional, explained everything in detail, and even picked up on things that had been missed in my previous check-ups. One of the aspects I appreciated most was her responsiveness. She gave us her personal WhatsApp and always replied quickly, even checking blood test results within the same day, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring. The C-section itself went very smoothly, and I felt I was in safe hands throughout the delivery. That said, I think there are areas where the care could be improved. During pregnancy, I mentioned that I was taking sertraline for depression, but I didn’t feel that my mental health was really integrated into my overall care. I was given a recommendation to a psychology clinic, but it was too far from my home to be practical, and there wasn’t much follow-up beyond that. Later, when I requested a doctor’s letter acknowledging my mental health so I could extend my thesis deadline postpartum, she did not include it. She explained that because it was only a recommendation and not a formal referral, she could not note it. This reliance on a technicality meant I had to go through the retraumatising experience of retelling my medical history to my GP instead of receiving the support I needed at a very vulnerable time. Postnatal care also felt limited. I only had one brief visit after giving birth, and during it she commented on my weight and appearance (“less bloated” and having lost weight). Personally, I felt this was inappropriate, as weight should not be a focus in such a sensitive postpartum period. In summary, Dr. Bhatti is highly professional, detail-oriented, and exceptionally responsive, and I am grateful for the safe and smooth delivery. I am especially thankful that she delivered my healthy baby, and in the end that is what matters most. At the same time, I would encourage more emphasis on mental health support, more flexible and empathetic handling of patient needs, and greater sensitivity in postpartum follow-up care.

Ophthalmology

I have had Cataract operations to both eyes January-March 2025. Things didn't start well when the Surgeon, in a 'telephone consultation' with me, committed to a price for the new lenses I would get. This was later overruled by the Management who told me the Surgeon didn't have the authority to agree a price with me. So I had to pay quite a bit more than I was originally told. As in some £400 per eye more. Amusing to observe how the 'care' (on the NHS, but sub-contracted to this private business) was promoted as being 'Exactly the same as Private Medical Care'. Oh no it wasn't ...it was much better. Once I was flagged up as 'potentially suitable for a PRIVATE operation' using Implants that were 'Not available on the NHS' I was treated very different. Previously done examinations were repeated 'to be sure'. Does that mean they are not sure if you are a NHS Patient? ;). Additional examinations 'not available on the NHS' were done. Am I being unfair? A short review would just say this: *Generally excellent professional friendly staff. * Medical care excellent. But.... Appointment waiting times need reviewing - I have always had to wait at least 45 min, sometimes more than on hour, before being seen. Why? If you depend on a relative or friend to drop you off and pick you up it sometimes got a bit difficult: Is this appointment going to take 30 Min, or 4 hours? Nobody knows. Admin/organization sometimes a bit confused - Why did I get an email survey for my right eye, and not for my left? Waiting in the corridor between different checks in different rooms a bit of a hit and miss - staff running around, folders being handed over, people sitting and waiting being missed, the order in which things were done got a bit confused sometimes, patients reminding passing nurses that others who arrived after them were seen before them. But all with good humor! But, in the end, I can see excellent again with both eyes - and that is what is really important.

I spent years dealing with anxiety and depression, convincing myself I didn't need therapy - partly due to the stigma around mental health, especially in my industry. By the time I reached out to Dr Olena, my anxiety was affecting my ability to do presentations and travel for work, things that were essential to my role in finance. Working with Dr Olena has been transformative. She used a combination of approaches tailored to what I needed - CBT and existential therapy initially helped me tackle my anxiety head-on. Within months, I was back to delivering presentations confidently and travelling for business again, things I'd been avoiding for far too long. For my depression, we've taken a different approach, incorporating DBT alongside existential therapy. Whilst this remains a work in progress, I'm in a significantly better place than when I started. Dr Olena helped me understand that therapy isn't about 'fixing' everything overnight - it's about having the right tools and support to navigate life's challenges. I only wish I'd overcome my reservations about therapy sooner. If you're in a demanding professional environment and struggling, I can't recommend Dr Olena highly enough. Her approach is practical, insightful, and genuinely effective."

Coaching

I began working with Jo shortly after receiving my autism diagnosis at the age of 45. At the time, I was already an experienced practitioner, but I was navigating a new understanding of myself while continuing to work at a high professional level. Jo’s mentoring was genuinely transformative. Through her insight, strategies, and lived understanding, Jo helped me to recognise who I am, clearly identify my strengths, and understand that I am not deficient. She supported me in developing the confidence and language to advocate for myself, to understand the reasonable adjustments I was entitled to, and, crucially, how to ask for them effectively. The impact of Jo’s work with me went far beyond personal insight. By applying the strategies and approaches she shared, I not only progressed professionally; I was promoted first to a senior role and then to Service Lead. Jo helped me align my authentic self with my professional practice, strengthening both my leadership and my effectiveness. Jo’s mentoring has had a lasting impact on my confidence, my career, and my sense of self. Her support was empowering, affirming, and deeply respectful, and I cannot overstate the value of what she helped me achieve.

Had an appointment for hip injections. I was seen on time. The consultant Mr Howell and radiologists Rachel and Natalie were all amazing. They were welcoming, friendly, professional and warm. They helped me to relax, feel comfortable, assured and confident. I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting many of the staff at St Hugh's and would recommend the hospital to anyone. The people are so genuine, lovely, human, friendly and professional. You are welcomed by the reception staff immediately upon arrival and the experience continues throughout. I appreciate that the staff work in a relatively calm setting, but they make the experience. This is a really well run hospital overseen by the director Ellen and her deputy Sarah. The consultants are of the highest quality. This is an amazing local resource which must be protected. The hospital undertake vital NHS work as well as private work. NHS pressures challenge the continued operation of St Hugh's, which would be a tragedy. Thanks and best wishes to everyone! Xx

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery on both eyes on 4th December 2025 and l was discharged today, 12th January 2026. I'm so pleased to say l don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. From start to finish, my experience at Freedom Vision Chelmsford was exceptionally good - and my end result is superb vision. - more than l could ever have hoped for. Colours are radiant and bright, and probably the biggest bonus for me is feeling so much more confident driving at night. After undergoing rigorous tests and scans , the actual procedure is very quick and painless. All the staff, without question were delightfully kind people and I'd like to thank them all individually, if only l knew their names. But in particular, l'd like to thank Nicola who guided me patiently and expertly throughout the whole procedure, and a massive thank you to Mr Hove , my surgeon, for being such a genius. If you are contemplating cataract surgery, l urge you to go for it - don't be scared - you won't regret it!

Dr Shankara Paneesha

Haematologist

I have been a patient of Dr. Paneesha’s for around six months now. Being diagnosed with my condition, I knew that it was going to be a long road and a tough battle to good health. Dr. Paneesha’s reputation preceded him and upon meeting him he assured me that I was in good hands, and he definitely kept his promise. He is such a thorough, caring and attentive person. Always greeting me with a smile along with a joke or two, easing the tension in the room. Whether it’s good or not so good news, his delivery is always honest and always impeccable. Now, I am on the other side of treatment and I’ve just received the most amazing news regarding my health, and I am so happy he was guiding me through my journey. Thank you Dr. Paneesha.

Matrix Foot & Ankle

Podiatry

Mr Ben Yates is in my opinion an excellent podiatric surgeon who gives a very good clinical opinion. I was unhappy that Mr Yates charged me for a “new patient” appointment when this was in fact a follow up appointment lasting about 12 minutes following previous surgery by Mr Yates. Furthermore, I did not receive a clinic letter from Mr Yates until I chased it up more than 2 weeks after my appointment. I received no apology for the delay in sending the letter. Mr Yate’s clinical letter did not contain all the information promised at the consultation and I was obliged to chase this information again. I emailed Mr Ben Yates to raise my concerns but I did not receive a reply from him.

Welcoming and helpful. Only one lift was working and the remaining one was noisy and slow but there was a notice advising of this. The coffee machine in wait area was out of order Reception staff were kind and helpful but sometimes difficult to understand accent. One set of chairs in a sub waiting area was under a shelf which meant I knocked my head. Appeared clean and efficient and was quiet on day of my visit. Preoperative bloods were done straight after consultation which is very good and in fact results appeared next day. That's good service. Overall allowing for things that happen a positive experience.

Mr Suku George

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an outstanding experience with Dr Suku George. He is incredibly thorough, highly skilled and truly exceptional at what he does. From the very beginning I felt listened to and supported, with a strong focus on patient-led care. He always had my best interests at heart, took my thoughts and opinions seriously and explained everything clearly and patiently. He was also very responsive and available to answer questions via email, which made a huge difference. I felt completely reassured and confident in his care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent and compassionate consultant.

Thanks to everyone at Freedom Vision in Bromley for giving me a positive experience throughout my time with them.  I was very nervous to have the procedure, but it went smoothly and led to an excellent outcome.  Having had my cataracts removed from both eyes and RayOne Galaxy Toric multifocal replacement lenses fitted, I now have amazing eyesight for distant, intermediate and near vision.  I am especially grateful to the optometrist and the surgeon for their expertise and care, and to Chirag, the Patient Liaison Manager who always made me feel well supported.

I am transformed! I came to see Mrs Langton Hewer because I had suddenly gone completely deaf in one ear. She listened to me when I explained my anxieties and then examined my ears. She diagnosed otis externa which was causing pain and there was water behind the wax causing deafness. She then very carefully removed wax and debris from my ear and my hearing was immediately restored. I am so grateful that this was diagnosed so expertly and then sorted out immediately. I would strongly recommend her for ear problems and for removal of ear wax. Thank you.

Excellent service from Montrose. Everyone has been really friendly and the organisation has been 10/10, especially as the assessments fell over the Christmas period. Dr Roberta Radcliffe-Birds was also brilliant. We felt listened too and my daughter was made to feel extremely comfortable during her assessment. The report and follow up appointment was very thorough and will help us make positive changes for our daughter. From referral to assessment and follow up, the whole process has been easy, timely and professional. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Linda Farahani is truly exceptional in every sense. Her scientific knowledge, clinical precision, and clear explanations make you feel completely confident and safe throughout the process. Beyond her expertise, her kindness, empathy, and warm personality genuinely set her apart. She listens carefully, treats patients with great respect, and approaches every case with both intelligence and heart. I truly believe she represents the very best of this clinic, and I am grateful to be under her care. Highly recommended without any hesitation.

No problems with check in or with the meeting with Mr Krkovic. However the hospital is showing signs of neglect. The loo in the corridor outside Trinity Suite had no paper towels and and a completely overflowed waste bin. The coffee machine in Trinity was broken in October and is still broken in January. The former quite serious, the latter not serious but to be not fixed over so many months suggests neglect and that always raises the possibility that things I can't see are also neglected. SIte management needs shake-up.

Mr Mohamed Boshnaq

General Surgeon

I really couldn't be happier or more grateful for the care I received from Dr Boshnaq. From the first consultation, he explained the procedure (laproscopic cholecystectomy) clearly and had plenty of time and patience to answer any questions. The procedure itself went completely smoothly and Dr Boshnaq has a very calm bedside manner. So pleased that I was able to have treatment with him at the Spencer wing and would absolutely recommend him and the hospital to anyone needing similar procedures.
