Dr Alek Nikolic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

20/10 I was recommended to Dr Alek by multiple friends, including one who is a doctor herself and trained under him. He came highly, highly recommended and is known as the best in the business — and I can completely understand why. From the moment I walked into the practice, I was warmly greeted by Sam, the practice administrator. She was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. Thank you, Sam! I’ve seen many aesthetic doctors and practitioners before, and Dr Alek is by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Previously, consultations felt rushed — numbing cream applied, a quick question about what I wanted, and straight into the procedure. With Dr Alek, it was completely different. We began with a thorough consultation where we discussed my concerns, the procedures I was interested in, and everything I’ve previously had done — including where, when, and any medications I’m on. He then did a full facial assessment, looking at proportions, symmetry, and structure. He carefully felt for any existing filler or lumps, explained what they were, and clearly walked me through what we can and can’t do moving forward. Everything was explained in a way that was detailed yet easy to understand. We created a thoughtful plan of action together, and what stood out most was that he never once tried to “sell” me on anything — something I’ve experienced with every other practitioner before. It’s immediately clear that he truly cares about his patients, has an incredible passion for what he does, and an exceptional eye for detail. He really knows his craft. Today we did Botox, and it was genuinely pain-free. He is precise, intentional, and incredibly gentle. As soon as I left, I couldn’t wait to call my husband and tell him how amazing the experience was. I’ve now officially joined my group of friends who cannot recommend Dr Alek highly enough. Thank you, Dr Alek and team!

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I have been very happy with my overall experience at Vision Scotland Edinburgh. The staff were both friendly and professional. I was well informed regarding my choices and the procedure. I have been thrilled with the result of the cataract surgery. I was given an appointment very soon after the referral. I would however like to let you know how I felt the experience on the day of the operation could have been improved. Firstly I was not sent the Post Op information which would have been most helpful to read before the procedure. Secondly I got very cold in theatre and was given a blanket but it did take me ages to warm up. It would have been better to have been given a blanket before the procedure started. There is a lot of cold water being used which does add to the chill. Thirdly I was not told to bring sunglasses for the journey home or to bring analogies both of which I would very much appreciated as I lived over a hour away. On the journey home I became extremely uncomfortable. Finally the roof of my mouth and tongue got a little burnt I think by the coffee as they must have been a little bit anaesthetised still when I had the coffee. The coffee however i have to say was absolutely welcome and the best thing along with the toasted teacake. I found it very reassuring to have a telephone number to call which I did use. I also very much appreciate the phone call from the nurse a couple of days post op. I hope you find the above comments of use. I do not wish to criticise as overall it was an extremely good experience and I would and have already recommended Vision Scotland. ( I did tell my neighbour to ask for a blanket!)

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Allergy Medicine, Breast Surgery, + 21 more

I had an excellent experience at the Lindo Wing. Everyone (midwives, baby doctors, anaesthesiologists) were exceptionally calm, supportive, and reassuring throughout my stay. Every step was clearly explained, and all questions were answered with patience and care. Even with the smallest concern about my baby’s health, a neonatologist was promptly invited to carry out a full assessment, which gave me great peace of mind. I was also supported with my baby’s breast attachment immediately in the delivery room, which was incredibly helpful. The rooms are very well equipped, and during delivery both my and my baby’s heart rates were continuously monitored and carefully assessed. After the birth, we received ongoing guidance on next steps, and both my baby’s and my own health were checked frequently and thoroughly.

Mr Chukwuemeka Okaro

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I underwent an open myomectomy due to the size and number of fibroids I had, and I am incredibly grateful to have been under the care of Mr Okaro. From the very first consultation, he had an exceptional way of putting me at ease. He came across as confident without being cocky, and extremely thorough in his approach. I was particularly reassured by how much information he wanted before making any commitment to my case—it showed genuine care, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing what was right rather than rushing decisions. Throughout the process, I felt listened to, respected, and fully informed. His professionalism, expertise, and calm manner made what could have been a very daunting experience feel manageable and safe. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing a similar procedure.

Professor Sanjay Purkayastha

General Surgeon

Professor Purkayastha was highly professional throughout. He was approachable and friendly. He was able to explain clearly the reasons for all the preliminary tests and answered questions fully in terms that I could understand. He exuded confidence and professionalism and was very thorough in his preparations for surgery. He made himself available for questions and gave clear and comprehensive answers. My surgery went very well and I felt safe and cared for by the Professor and his team throughout the process.

Castle Craig Hospital

Psychiatry, Psychotherapy

I had a really good stay at Castle Craig, learned a lot and feeling positive about the future. The nurses were great, the therapists life-savers, the food was ok - good portions and good flavour but I was a bit bored of it after 5 weeks. The consultant psychiatrist was exceptional, he really listened and took time to consider my case. He was one of the reasons I came here after meeting him in his Edinburgh clinic, and it has been really the best decision I could have made.

Dr. Kevin O'Gallagher

Cardiologist

I couldn't have hoped for a better consultant. Dr O'Gallagher was thorough in terms of getting the right tests to provide both reassurance and recommend appropriate treatment to minimise cardiovascular risks long term. I felt he was able to address all my queries fully. I appreciate getting clear answers quickly rather than going back multiple times to get to the bottom of symptoms.

Brain Health Clinic

Clinical Psychology, Neurology, + 1 more

Dr Mohan was empathic and compassionate. I felt his explanations were helpful and his suggestions around future management included psychological approaches as well as a medical perspective and suggestions for potentially useful medication. He emphasised that I had choices and his approach felt very gentle and normalising. Thank you

Dorset Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I can’t recommend the Dorset heart clinic enough. After having palpitations at Christmas and needing to use the service before a holiday, they went above and beyond to accommodate my time restrictions. All the staff I came into contact with were lovely and the practice itself was clean and inviting.

Harley Clinic

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 1 more

I am so delighted with the process and the outcome. Dr. Agha has been incredibly patient, clear and reassuring throughout. I’m now nearly 6 weeks post op and I’m so happy with the results. Recovery has been perfect and I feel so much more confident. Cannot thank the whole team enough.

The Park Hospital (part of Circle Health Group)

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 19 more

From my first visit for blood tests to the day of my surgery all the staff were very friendly and professional in my dealings. Could I personally thank Andy, Dawn the catering staff, ward staff, all the theatre staff and the excellent Dr Krishnamurthy and Dr Morris.

Mr Ryan Marcovich

Psychotherapist

Ryan is professional, empathetic and skilled at what he does. He is an excellent teacher and I continue to live my life today with the principles he has taught. Overall, it was a fantastic decision to choose Ryan and would recommend his services to anyone.

Mr Mohammad Adeel

ENT Surgeon

Dr. Adeel and his staff worked very hard to fit me in quickly for my surgery. They are kind, caring, and very thorough. My surgery went well, and the follow-up was excellent and everything was explained to me. Thank you for your care and professionalism.

Dr. Sunil Patel

Respiratory Doctor

I really enjoyed speaking to Dr Patel. I would highly recommend him to any patients looking for a specialist. He was very attentive and comprehensive in our consultation. I look forward to speaking to him again in our follow up!

Mr Ioannis Biliatis

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Billiatis is obviously very experienced within his field. He gave me great advice with thought of steps ahead. He put me at ease with his kind, calm and relaxed personality. I cannot fault the treatment I received from him.

Dr Fawad Hameed

Respiratory Doctor

Fantastic consultant, patient, caring, attentive and engaging, set my fathers mind at rest that he was in excellent hands - explained everything he was doing clearly and well - was reassuring and exceptional really
