HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

TCM Healthcare Fertility Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

We decided to visit them after reading their positive reviews and wanted to give it a try. After reviewing my test results, they recommended a three-month course of treatment. The instructions and cooking process were clear and easy to follow. After completing the three months of treatment, I went for another test and was delighted to learn that my FSH levels had gone down, which felt unbelievable and made us extremely happy. That said, I would have liked to learn more about my TCM diagnosis and what it meant, as this was not really explained to me. This was a bit disappointing, as I was genuinely interested—especially considering the cost of the consultations. Communication and transparency could have been better in this regard. However, Professor Au did call us to reassure us whenever he felt it was needed, which we appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone who is struggling with fertility and looking for support.

I had a really positive experience at The Harborne Hospital. I was greeted warmly on arrival and was actually seen before my appointment time, which was very much appreciated. My consultant Mr Leung truly listened to me and took the time to understand the full picture of how I’ve been feeling. He was extremely thorough, and for the first time in a long while, I left feeling hopeful — hopeful not only that my pain can be better managed, but also that I may finally get a clear diagnosis of what is actually happening to me. I really appreciated how carefully and thoughtfully everything was explored. Every member of staff I met was kind, professional, and supportive. The level of care and compassion shown throughout my visit was outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service.

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

I had a check up and cleaning from the dentist Sonia. What a marvellous professional and friendly person. I am extremely nervous at dentist but Sonoa went above a beyond to make me at easy. She transmitted me calm and I'd never ever thought to feel calm at the dentist. I only hope she will not leave as well. I am so tired of OSD turnover of staff it's very stressful for me getting used to someone and than change it. Sonia is precious if I was OSD boss I'd do whatever I can to keep this kind of empathetic professional with me. Doc Sonia thank you from the bottom of my heart to make me feel special. THANK YOU Imma

Mr Mahantesh Karoshi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I would like to express my sincere thank you to Mr. Karashi, who performed the sonata treatment and hysteroscopic myomectomy. The operation went well and my period has become normal and much lighter after the operation. My tummy has less pressure to my lower back after both treatments. Mr. Karashi explained very well to me my symptoms and what caused my heavy period and pressure to my lower back. He is very patient and friendly and I feel that I am in a very good care of him. I would highly recommend Mr. Karashi to any patient who needs gynaecological treatment.

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Ms. Mavridou is truly outstanding. From the initial consultation through to the procedure, she consistently demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and genuine care, making me feel safe, listened to, and reassured at every step. She always explained things clearly and with patience, and her calm presence and excellent bedside manner created a space where I felt completely comfortable and understood. It’s clear she is deeply passionate about caring for her patients, and I am very grateful for her support.

Very happy to see Miss Fraser 6 weeks after my fascial sling which has completely stopped my stress incontinence . I'm pleased to say my operation has been a success more than I ever expected and Miss Frazer and her team have been amazing from beginning to end . Wish I had this done sooner rather than waiting after 10 years of bladder issues since child birth . Looking forward to being able to do normal activities with my children without having to worry about my badder . Thank you so much .

Mr Michael Adamczyk

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I specifically sought out Dr Adamczyk for my adenomyosis diagnosis after I had positive interactions with him in the past and can credit my son's successful birth to him. He is knowledgeable, makes you feel at ease, and is supportive in both good and difficult moments. He and his team were highly efficient in planning and performing my hysteroscopy, and its impact was undeniable, as I joked that I felt human again afterwards. Thank you.

Freedom Vision - North Tyneside

Ophthalmology

After the operation my eye took a few weeks to settle. That meant I got to experience rather more post-op care than might be usual. Not only was the level of care excellent, but I got to see all the same staff most visits. An efficient and friendly team. Special praise due to the optometrist whose explanations where clear and precise and the responses to my questions well considered. This set my mind at rest.

Mr Michael Hughes

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Understood the issues and took the decision not to immediately go to surgery. Everything was explained clearly and in lay terms. I proceeded to have steroid injections which have worked well. Post injections the issue to the shoulder has calmed dramatically. Follow up included a plan for any future treatment. Great ‘ bedside manner’ and listened carefully to understand my issues.

Mr Kevin Turner

Urologist

From the outset of my treatment, Kevin has been a constant source of encouragement and support. He has taken time to go through any issues I may have and ensured I kept a positive mindset with regard to outcomes. He was recommended to me as a high quality surgeon and that has proved to be the case, but just as importantly his compassion and understanding are first class

Mr Andrew Wheelton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Wheelton as a follow up to the procedure that he performed. We reviewed the outcome including examination of the scar tissue and an Xray of the joint. He and I were both very satisfied with the outcome. Just like the initial consultation I was impressed by his manner and his willingness to answer questions

Mr Jochen Fischer

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was treated with the upmost care and respect. Consultations were well explained and plans/next steps for treatment were always discussed in a shared manner which was much appreciated as I felt involved in my care plan. Mr Fischer was always welcoming and personable making me feel like I was always in safe hands.

Prof. Andrew Davies

General Surgeon

Professor Davies made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, clearly explaining every stage of my surgery. He has an excellent bedside manner, and I couldn’t fault the experience — the surgery itself was textbook, my recovery was ahead of schedule, and the aftercare was exactly as you would expect.
