Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

I had to visit the Vermilion Endodontic Team after my dentist discovered that I needed specialist root canal treatment on not one, but two teeth. My initial reaction was sheer panic, especially since I'm not the biggest fan of going to the dentist. However, my overall experience at Vermilion was nothing short of amazing – so much so that I actually began looking forward to my visits! David Treagus and Megan were incredibly welcoming, and I could tell David immediately recognized the fear on my face. Both of them were quick to put me at ease. During my initial appointment, David took the time to walk me through the entire process. He explained exactly what he was going to do, the expected outcomes, and even the potential risks involved. When it came to my first root canal session, I was absolutely terrified – to say I was "bricking it" would be an understatement. However, David reassured me that we would go at a pace I was comfortable with, and that if I needed a break at any point, I just had to give him a wave. Root canal treatment is a lengthy process, so I had several two-hour appointments over the course of about 12 weeks. By my second appointment, because the experience had been so pleasant, I was, for the first time in my life, actually looking forward to going to the dentist. Fast forward to the end of my 12 weeks, and my teeth are looking and feeling great again! I can't thank David and Megan enough for the incredible work they did. I'm now able to smile again without any pain or discomfort. While I understand that visiting a specialist comes at a cost, I can honestly say I am so glad I chose Vermilion. The entire team, from the front of house to the specialists, is amazing and truly understanding. No matter what, they will make you feel calm, cared for, and well looked after.

Mr Jawad Freites

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Freites is calming and reassuring and explains each process and possible outcomes in a very clear and understandable manner. His use of the computer helped to explain the procedure very clearly to a non-medical person. He has an empathy and made me feel part of his team in this journey to good health. This is a very rare characteristic not found in many surgeons. The removal of the polyp was an unusual and unforgettable experience. I was given a nurse who held my hand and chatted to me during the whole procedure. The rest of the team were introduced and waved to me occasionally. Mr Freites explained his every move and checked that I was feeling okay. I was shown the polyp as I asked to see it. I have had several operations but never before have I been able to witness the event and feel so much a part of the team. At no point did I experience any pain, but I saw at first hand a remarkable surgeon working with his team. A month later I returned for a posterior and anterior prolapse and was relaxed and free from any worries as I knew I was in a very caring and safe pair of hands. I was warned that I might have pain afterwards when sitting down. I found it was uncomfortable but was able to manage by sitting on a folded soft throw. I draped the throw over my arm when I left home as I realised I needed to sit on something soft.

Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr. Shalini was my OB consultant from my third trimester until the delivery of my baby at UCLH Fitzrovia Suite. From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism and was extremely knowledgeable. I chose private care because I wanted continuity and to ensure I could have an epidural on demand if I needed it. From our first appointment, I knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Shalini took the time to understand and fully respect my birth plan, ensuring that my preferences were always considered and followed wherever possible. Her approach to pain management during labor and postnatal care was truly commendable. She ensured my comfort and wellbeing at every stage. What I appreciated most was her excellent communication and accessibility. She was always available to address my questions and concern throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Shalini to anyone seeking an OB who provides exceptional, patient-centered care with genuine kindness and professionalism.

Spire Gatwick Park Hospital

Vascular Surgery, Breast Surgery, + 20 more

My whole experience from start to finish has been absolutely amazing! All staff have been 100% in their delivery of care and support. I felt safe and looked after. The anaesthetist and theatre staff before both operations were totally dedicated in ensuring I felt at ease at a time when I felt most anxious. All ward nurses and assistants were focussed on delivering the highest standard of care with their patience and nothing being too much trouble. Pantry team kept me well fed with delicious drinks and food and always with a smile. Imaging team were so caring, cheerful and again reassuring and professional. The physio team are incredible, they have encouraged and lead me to where I am now - so very nearly there. I cannot fault my experience at Gatwick Spire. A massive thank you to Mr Panose and all teams involved in my operations and recovery.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I was referred by my GP to RTN via Right To Choose and I have been diagnosed with combined type ADHD. I wanted an assessment which was thorough as I have other conditions such as anxiety, and it was very comprehensive. I felt like my full history was properly reviewed and explained to me. The assessment process was also vulnerable to go through, especially as an adult in my 40s, but all the staff I spoke to via email or face-to-face were very kind, supportive and validating. Thank you. My overall experience was excellent and I would highly recommend RTN to others. My one small piece of feedback is whether you can incorporate a save button in the online forms. I find form-filling quite overwhelming and I think it would have helped to be able to do it in stages.

Pride In Health

Psychology

I've had, and continue to have, a really positive experience with Pride in Health. Everyone I've spoken to has been so dedicated and kind. I've felt so understood and at ease, which is special to me as I've never experienced feeling this way from healthcare providers before. When I've struggled to interpret information due to my autism, the team has always been so patient and helpful and quick to answer my queries. I recall when I first reached out with questions, I was sent back a super in depth answer, answering questions I didn't even know I had. The work they do is fantastic. Thank you!

Urban TRT

Endocrinology & Diabetes

Admin team are really friendly and very helpful with any questions. They are also very quick to respond to emails which is amazing. Dr Chris Airey is brilliant, he goes through every blood marker and explains everything clearly. I transferred to this clinic from Optimale as the service and protocol I was on didn’t feel very optimal for me. In my opinion, UrbanTRT is way better and I now understand what truly personalised TRT looks like. The difference in how I feel, the communication, and the level of detail they go into has been top quality.

Mrs Kalaivani Lingam

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I originally went to NHS A&E due to my symptoms worsening, of which was not a successful trip with diagnosis theories that did not sit well with me at all. I then saw Mrs Lingam the following day, and within 24 hours I had a scan and diagnosis as well as prescriptions to aid my recovery. I am now fully informed of my syndrome, understand what I need to do going forward and what I should do if I have a further flare up. Mrs Lingam was super helpful, kind and considerate, and ensured that I understood what was happening.

Miss Laura Harman

Physiotherapist

Laura is great, super friendly and helpful. I've got notable improvements from her approach of addressing deeper core weaknesses which is exactly what I was hoping for. She's very professional and asks what I'm hoping to get from the session to ensure it's valuable. She offers a mix of exercises to do at home and hands on work in the session. She also listened and took on-board when I said I was finding the list of exercises was taking too long, she worked hard to minimise this into an effective and manageable routine

Miss Charlotte Defty

Plastic Surgeon

Miss Defty is very professional, caring and reassuring. I have never felt rushed in any of my consultations with her and she takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and answers all my questions. The laser treatment I had on spider veins on my legs was 100% effective and I am delighted with the results! All treatment I have had with Miss Defty, from botox to obaji facials, (which I highly recommend) has been undertaken with the utmost care. Her team are also very friendly, professional and put you at ease.

Recently admitted for a procedure under Dr Hunter at the Lisburn Road Hospital. Staff here have been so polite, professional and helpful, seeing to my every need and request. After previous surgeries for the same condition, Dr Hunter has been the most thorough clinician i have been assessed and treated by. He and the staff have kept me updated and reassured on the treatment I required. All staff from Consultants to Domestic Staff have been professional courteous and extremely approachable throughout my stay.

Dr Fionnuala Barton

General Practitioner

I had my first appointment with Fionnuala today and felt so relieved by time I left. We went through my medical history, symptoms and discussed my current regime. Fionnuala gave me detailed options for the changes we could make so I could take a decision with full knowlege of how the meds should be applied and how I could make it part of my existing routines. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Fionnuala to anyone experiencing perimenopause symptoms and need more clarity around their options.

Mr Stephen Wild

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have been a patient of Mr Wilds for several years and have always been very happy with my treatment and his support and advice. I have always been pleased with his care and attention and am only moving to a different consultant as I need an additional procedure which he does not do. I would highly recommend him as a gynaecologist. He also recommended the new consultant and I am very glad I took up his recommendation.

Dr Patel possesses extensive professional knowledge and explains medical conditions very clearly. He is also very kind, caring, and patient when listening to patients describe their symptoms. Moreover, he is highly efficient in reviewing relevant documents and is able to make very logical and accurate medical judgments. I strongly recommend this doctor to anyone who has heart-related conditions.
