Mr Tahir Mahmud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I underwent a unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in November 2025 performed by Mr Mahmud, and I am extremely pleased with both the surgical outcome and the overall care I received. From the initial consultation, Mr Mahmud was clear, measured, and reassuring. He explained why a UKR was appropriate in my case, whilst also providing me with alternative options. He set realistic expectations about recovery, which have proven to be very accurate. I felt well informed and confident proceeding with surgery. My recovery has progressed exactly as advised and whilst there has been some stiffness and swelling I have felt improvements day by day. One of the most noticeable improvements for me was how smooth the knee felt when bending — the grinding and grating sensation I experienced pre-operatively has now gone completely. I have received an additional benefit in significantly reduced hip pain due to the realigned knee joint, this was noticable from early in my post op recovery period and has maintained throughout. I have now been discharged from physiotherapy with no restrictions, clear guidance to self-manage progression, and confidence in the strength and stability of the implant. That reassurance has been invaluable as I’ve returned to exercise and everyday activity. Overall, the care was professional, calm, and expertly delivered. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with my knee at 10 weeks post op. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Mahmud to anyone considering a partial knee replacement.

Dr Sunila Jog

Paediatrician

I accompanied my teenage daughter to visit Dr Jog, following an initial consultation where my husband had been present. During the initial consultation, I had been overseas with work and because of the conviction my husband spoke about Dr Jog, I felt reassured and comforted that my daughter was in safe hands. Not being home for such a significant consultation was difficult but Dr Jog’s professionalism, confidence and assurance, as relayed by both my daughter and husband, made it a little easier for me. When it was time for our next consultation, we were apprehensive but were immediately put at ease by Dr Jog. She was sensitive to my daughter’s feelings, treated her with respect and grace, and spoke to her clearly without ambiguity. Dr Jog’s presence and conduct throughout our interactions was refreshing and reassuring. We would have rather not needed to attend the clinic at all, however I am grateful to Dr Jog for making the experience as positive as she did, for her kind words to my daughter and most importantly giving my daughter confidence on leaving the hospital to conquer the world! She is a true role model to young women.

Dr. Nishel Shah

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Nish Shah cared for me throughout my pregnancy from 22 weeks onwards, after I was admitted to hospital with a complication (PPROM). This was one of the most difficult times in my life, as we had to make some extremely hard decisions in a very short space of time in order to achieve the best possible outcome for both me and our baby. Sadly, I went into labour shortly after 22 weeks, and Dr Shah was there to deliver my baby and to manually remove the placenta in theatre. Throughout this incredibly unexpected and traumatic experience, I felt exceptionally well cared for. My recovery has been excellent — the bleeding stopped after just four days and I felt almost back to normal within two weeks. Dr Shah remained calm and provided clear, compassionate and excellent medical advice throughout a very challenging time for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will certainly be under his care again for my next pregnancy. Thank you.

Ms Shabana Syed

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot speak highly enough of Miss Syed and the exceptional level of care she provided. From the moment I met her, she was warm, compassionate, and genuinely attentive. What truly set her apart was how quickly she recognised that my issue wasn’t gynaecological and immediately took action, moving my care to an appropriate consultant to continue investigations. Her communication was outstanding throughout. She frequently went above and beyond, even calling outside of office hours to make sure I had the information and support I needed. That level of dedication is incredibly rare, and it made an enormous difference during a very stressful time. I have never experienced such thoughtful, proactive, and considerate care from a consultant. Miss Syed is an exceptional clinician and an extraordinary person. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a gynaecologist who combines expertise with genuine kindness and commitment.

Dr Moez Dungarwalla

Haematologist

Dr. Moez Dungawalla was my doctor during one of the most difficult and painful periods of my life, and the care he provided was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he made me feel safe, supported, and confident that I was in good hands. He was always honest and straight to the point, which I deeply appreciated, but he delivered everything with genuine care and compassion. In moments when things felt overwhelming, his professionalism, calm presence, and clear communication made all the difference. He never made me feel rushed or dismissed, and I always felt heard and respected. Dr. Dungawalla is not only incredibly skilled at what he does, but he also treats his patients with real humanity and kindness. I am truly grateful for the care he gave me during such a hard time, and I can’t speak highly enough of him as both a doctor and a person.

Mr Padmanabh Phaltankar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My total knee replacement journey has been exceptional. From my initial consultation though to my surgery and the aftercare. Mr Phaltanker is extremely professional, he is very factual without any attitude or superiority. He listens extremely well and is very thorough when answering your questions and concerns. He is reassuring and you feel comfortable knowing that you are in safe hands. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for your surgery. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I really hope he will be able to attend to my other knee and my hips when they need doing. If you want a straight talking surgeon with excellent results Mr Phaltanker is wonderful. I am extremely grateful to have been in his care.

Dr Charlotte Frise is an excellent doctor. Despite the multiple complications I had, she had time for me even when she was off duty. She saw me through until I sailed through. I was never afraid at any point even when I couldn’t breathe and had oxygen of 80% on room air, I was motivated. Her smile was always soothing and reassuring, it felt like family. She treats patients like family and it’s heartwarming in difficult times. I begin to tear up when I express how I feel about the care she gave me. Am very impressed and grateful for her services. The NHS is blessed to have doctors like her.

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

I’ve been going to this practice for many years and sadly the staff turnover, both dentists, hygienists and reception staff has been high. Today I saw a hygienist for the second time, who remembered my last visit and what was discussed which was really nice. Silly I know, but I have not felt like I have had my “own” dentist/hygienist here ever. The building is under renovation and seems to have been for a long time. So the building looks unfinished but not unclean. Hopefully at my next visit in 6 months time it will be finished.

Mr Karthik Karuppaiah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Karuppaiah and his secretary, Hagar, were extremely helpful in getting my hand fixed up before my exams. As soon as I mentioned that I had exams, they did everything they could to expedite the process for me. I am immensely grateful for their help and kindness. Mr Karuppaiah was thorough in determining the cause of my pain and was gentle when administering the steroid injection. It is obvious that he is very experienced and an expert in his field! His team have consistently been supportive, responsive and happy to help.

Mr Manaf Khatib

Plastic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr Khatib to have a basal cell carcinoma removed from my cheek, just below my eye. He immediately put me at ease with his clear explanation of options and what they involved. Mr Khatib performed the surgery with great care and skill. My resulting scar is hardly noticeable and I'm delighted with the results. I couldn't have been in better hands, he is a genuinely lovely and authentic person as well. Would so highly recommend him to anyone.

After a frustrating year with an ankle injury sustained playing football, seeing Alex at PSM has been great. Alex provided a detailed analysis of my gait and took a 3D scan of my foot to create orthoses customised to me. He also clearly explained what was going on with my ankle and how it can get better, having done a number of tests to pinpoint the issue. Highly recommend Alex for anyone struggling with a foot-related sports injury.

The surgeon & all staff inspired confidence for this my 1st cataract replacement. Whole place, spotlessly clean, & staff all asked questions I could see were very relevant- being non medical, but a technical manager (Geophysicist).
