Dr Asif Qasim

Cardiologist

Approximately one year ago I experienced a sudden increase/spike in my heart rate when exercising on the rowing machine. My usual heart rate for a steady state training session was between 130 and 145 BPM. This time it suddenly spiked up to about 180 to 190+ bpm, and it would not come down quickly enough. I am quite fit for my age and never had such issues before. As this had never happened before, I did get in touch with my GP and eventually I had a 24hr Holter monitor fitted. The results did not reveal anything that was out of ordinary. But, a month later, I was at an indoor rowing competition, when my heart rate suddenly jumped to 226 bpm and I also experienced headaches. I then decided to use my wife's BUPA family health insurance and I had my 1st appointment with Dr Qasim in July 2025, at Cromwell Hospital. What struck me was his friendly and professional manner. He asked numerous questions about my lifestyle, my past or existing health issues, if any, and the sport I am involved in, rowing. He listened very carefully, patiently and sympathetically to all my concerns I had regarding my symptoms. He was also very reassuring, and I left the appointment feeling a lot more optimistic. Dr Qasim booked several thorough tests and, following the test results, I am now on medication that controls the atrial fibrillation symptoms. I have regained confidence in training harder, and I am now able to race without worrying. I also have regained the confidence that I am not going to have a sudden heart attack or a stroke! As it happens, very soon, I have an appointment with Dr Qasim, to review the last few months since I last saw him and the efficiency of the medication prescribed and obtain a final diagnosis. I am confident that I will able able to control the Afib symptoms and any possible complications, with Dr Qasim’s help and expertise.

One Stop Healthcare

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 48 more

Overall the experience was great. Justyna was simply amazing, super positive, supportive and caring. I felt very looked after. Where things could be improved - better communication in terms of the order of surgery. My expectations was for a 2:30 surgery, but instead I had to wait for an elongated period without anyone communicating with me or my wife. I don’t think anyone offered my wife a cup of tea or other which would have been nice. Post surgery in the recovery room, the ladies began to inclune the bed before I was ready and to the point where I experienced a lot of pain at the surgery point. I found this very distressing and was not needed. A more progressive approach to inclining the bed would have been much better and I could have let them know I was at my comfortable limit, as opposed to being pushed passed it and into pain. I believe as a result of this pain, they gave me a heavy dose of morphine which kept me groggy for a long period into the evening. I would question if this was needed if they hadn’t pushed me past my comfortable limits.

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.

London Finsbury Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

I had a wonderful experience at this aesthetic clinic and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt clean, calm, and very professional. The staff were welcoming, kind, and made me feel completely at ease. The practitioner took time to really listen to what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and never rushed the consultation. I felt genuinely cared for, not upsold or pressured. The treatment itself was smooth and comfortable, and the attention to detail was impressive. The results look incredibly natural: refreshed, not “done.” Exactly what I was hoping for. I also appreciated the aftercare advice and follow-up, which showed a high level of professionalism. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for safe, high-quality aesthetic treatments with a personal touch. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Dr. Baldeep Sidhu

Cardiologist

Many thanks to Dr Sidhu and his team, whom I first met in May 2025. From the very beginning, he has taken the time and shown great patience and professionalism in explaining my diagnosis, medications, and my overall care plan. I’ve always felt listened to, supported, and fully informed. At my recent appointment following the S‑ICD implantation, Dr Sidhu went through the procedure with me again and explained the aftercare in detail. He made sure I understood what to expect during recovery and answered all of my questions clearly, which I truly appreciated. I also know that, if I ever need further assistance, I can contact him by email, which gives me great reassurance. I’m genuinely grateful for the excellent care I’ve received from Dr Sidhu and his cardiac team

Dr. Lewis Raiman

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I recently saw Dr Raiman regarding ongoing issues with my knees and toes, and he was extremely helpful and informative. He took the time to clearly explain what was happening, walking me through the drawings, X-rays, and MRI images in a way that was easy to understand. All available options were discussed thoroughly, including injections and physiotherapy, and I felt fully informed throughout the appointment. I learned a great deal and left feeling reassured and confident about the next steps and the decisions I need to make regarding my treatment. Overall, a very positive and supportive experience.

Dr Kathryn Taylor-Barnes

Cosmetic Doctor, General Practitioner

I always find the clinic to be like a little oasis - especially after getting off the tube and as soon as you enter the clinic, it is immediately calming and the location is very discreet. Dr Kathryn is very friendly and puts you at ease, fully explaining treatments etc. I also find Dr Kathryn to be very honest and she will always give good advice. I would also like to mention right from the start when calling the clinic and making an appointment, it’s a very easy and pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend going to the Real You Clinic.

Mr Ross Kenny

General Surgeon

I saw Mr Kenny during a very anxious period and was extremely impressed by his approach. He was calm, thorough, and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns. Everything was explained clearly and thoughtfully, which immediately put me at ease. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or spoken over - instead, I felt genuinely heard and reassured. A highly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate specialist. I’m very grateful for his care and would recommend him without hesitation.

Sapphire Eye Care

Ophthalmology

Every stage of my procedure for my cataract operations (both eyes a week apart) went like 'a dream' from the excellent initial Consultation with Professor Luff, to the 2 excellently/professionally executed outpatient operations he and his excellent team carried out, to the excellent aftercare and not to mention the miraculous results!. If anyone (like me!) is petrified of such procedures I would highly recommend Professor Luff and his Sapphire Team.

Vision Scotland Glasgow

Health and Social Care, Ophthalmology, + 1 more

From start to finish I had an excellent experience at Vision Scotland Glasgow. All staff were welcoming and friendly and the physical clinic was very pleasant, modern and clean. There was some complexity with my particular clinical requirements although the clinical team (especially Neil) were very patient and thorough in helping to identify the correct solution for me. The procedure was straightforward and I am very happy with the outcome!

Mr Amgad Nakhla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having found out that I needed a new right hip joint ,which was a bit of a shock ,I can only say that the treatment I received from Mr Nakhla was first class from start to finish. I couldn't have been more pleased with all from the first consultation, Talking through what would be happening ,the choices I could make ,the surgery itself ,aftercare was second to none . With the end result being brilliant

Professor Richard Steeds

Cardiologist

I have spent years being referred and passed to numerous doctors in the private sector and NHS. After one visit with Dr Steeds, i had efficient tests and (finally) a diagnosis with clear directions. What a wealth of knowledge he has! I could not recommend a better cardiologist. Efficient and pleasant secretary who goes beyond her duties.. Highly recommend. I would not go to anyone else.

Venturi Cardiology

Cardiology

9/10 My Sonographer Rima Shah was fantastic, professional and informative. To improve the service i think it would be nice if a cardiologists could quickly glance/look over results and give a brief written note/summary of results/heart health. It is a shame that in order to get a cardiologists insight/reassurance I then have to rebook and pay for an additional appointment.

UK Vein Clinic - Exeter

Vascular Surgery

Very good explanation before the date and also on the day before the actual appointment. They gave me complete confidence, and the nurses were very good at chatting with me to distract me from the painful parts of the varicose vein precedure. A lot of information at the time, but also online afterwards so that i had no further questions.

IVF Matters Fertility Clinic

Fertility Medicine

Kind, helpful, caring, professional, clean. These are all a few words that describe our recent visit to the clinic. Honestly the best decision we have made to choose this clinic for our IVF journey. These aren’t just doctors anymore for us, but have become a family. They really are with you in every step of your journey.

Loughview Health

General Practice (GP)

Dr Moore was absolutely so lovely and I felt confident with her. I am glad I made the appointment. It’s great to know I can get to see a GP quickly and not get stressed trying to get through on the phone to NHS GP. If I need to return I certainly will and would recommend Loughview Health to any of my family and friends.
