In August 2025, due to the long delays at Luton and Dunstable, they offered for me to be seen as an NHS patient at One Stop (OSD) Clinic at Hemel Hempstead, where I was seen by Dr Mittel. Following a consultation, he advised that I be referred back to L&D for a hysterectomy (he could not do overnight procedures at his clinic) and prescribed Ryeqo, a medication that suppresses ovarian function and includes HRT. However, I was not provided with a NHS prescription for Ryeqo, as Dr Mittel did not have the necessary NHS prescription pad and advised that it must come from an NHS consultant. I have since discovered that my GP is unable to prescribe Ryeqo and that this must indeed be handled by a hospital consultant. I am unable to afford this medication privately, as it costs approximately £100 per month. With no consultant to prescribe the medication on the NHS, I am therefore left without treatment and unclear as to whether I am even on the waiting list for a hysterectomy. To add to my distress, my interactions with Dr Mittel have been upsetting. During our initial consultation, when I asked about potential side effects of Ryeqo, he responded inappropriately by laughing and comparing the risks to getting on a bus or plane. He failed to explain that only a consultant could prescribe the medication on the NHS, and I had to research this information myself. He also failed to talk me through any of the potential side effects which again I have now researched myself. At a subsequent appointment for a hysteroscopy, when I attempted to raise my concerns about still not being able to get the NHS Ryeqo prescription (as advised by his secretary), he dismissed the issue, saying it was not the right time to discuss it. Instead, he began venting his frustrations about NHS inefficiencies and his personal issues with parking as a consultant. This unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour left me extremely upset and in tears just prior to undergoing the procedure. Although he later apologised, stating he was “stressed,” this is not the level of care I expect or deserve as a patient and I wonder if I was his private patient as opposed to an NHS patient his manner would have been the same.

Rehab Recovery

A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You My wife is 62 years old and has battled alcoholism for 27 years. She had been to rehab three times before, but this time was different. After losing her mother – her last remaining close relative – she turned to alcohol once again, retreating from the world in her grief. As a family, we were at breaking point. In a desperate effort to keep a promise to her late mother, I kept her at home until the funeral so she could attend sober. It was one of the hardest challenges I’ve ever faced, but I managed it. Sadly, after the funeral, the drinking returned and we lost her to the bottle once more. When a small inheritance came through, I decided to try again. From the very first conversation, they understood exactly what we were going through. They acted quickly, knowing how critical timing is — when an addict asks for help, you must act immediately before the addiction takes over again. Addiction is not just the addict’s disease — it affects the whole family. They supported all of us, not just my wife. It’s now been four months, and I see a change in her I have never seen before. She is beginning to embrace sobriety in a genuine, lasting way. She speaks openly when she feels low or has a difficult day, instead of turning to the bottle. That openness has been life-changing for the whole family. I will always be grateful for their understanding, dedication, and wisdom. They didn’t just help my wife — they helped give our family hope again.

The Vesey Private Hospital

Dermatology, Cardiology, + 11 more

I was a little nervous about visiting the clinic as I had never been to a private practice before, but my experience was excellent from start to finish. The receptionist was very approachable and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease when I arrived. The health practitioner who saw me was calm, professional, and attentive. He took the time to discuss my previous health conditions and was able to pinpoint some of my concerns while offering clear, helpful advice. The health assessment itself was quick but thorough, and I felt reassured throughout. What impressed me most was how well everything was explained, from accessing my results to the range of other services available, including mental health support. I was also given practical guidance on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Overall, I left feeling very reassured and impressed by the high standard of care. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff were supportive, and I would definitely recommend this hospital to others.

Mr David Baxter

Neurosurgeon

The plan was discussed clearly and professionally from the start, and I felt involved in the decision-making process throughout. My options were all explained in a tone I could understand and a realistic timeline was set. Mr Baxter was extremely knowledgeable and his bedside manner was calm, friendly and polite. The surgery was efficient and without complications. My scar is barely noticeable and my symptoms have disappeared. Due to my high-intensity job, it was crucial to have a motion preserving cervical disc replacement which has enabled me to get back to very high levels of physical functioning soon after my operation.

Mr Naveed Yasin

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Yasin for an appointment following a spinal procedure. It was really nice that he recognised me in the waiting room. His manner is calm, friendly and very supportive. He showed me the x-rays of the procedure and explained everything that he had done during the procedure. I was delighted to be able to tell him that, rather than before the procedure when I was unable to walk any distance, I am now able to walk upwards of 15000 steps with no pain. I'm thrilled with the outcome and very grateful that I was lucky enough to come under his care. He has made a huge difference to my life and I can't thank him enough.

Montrose Health Group

Psychiatry, Psychology, + 1 more

I went in to Montrose after struggling with the group situations and the mix with male and female. I felt the experience of being able to share my deepest darkest secrets one to one was extremely therapeutic. The therapy I got was second to none and the food was cooked fresh each day with my one to one member of staff. Having lived with food intolerances my whole life the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating to my dietary needs. All in all a tough experience but the chance for me to grow emotionally was successful. All in all I’m a satisfied customer and would highly recommend. Thanks again team. 🙏

Dr. Wisam Alwan

Dermatologist

Dr Alwan is a very polite, kind and knowledgeable Doctor. He is extremely thorough and really listens and asks many questions to try and best understand. I didnt feel like an ''appointment'. I also liked that he discussed with me the possible reasons and next steps as I do like to be fully informed and he took the time to do so. He also knows his field and made an accurate judgement on the issue which was indeed confirmed with the swab taken. I also had some side effects and he called within the hour of his secretary passing this over. I highly recommend him. Thank you.

Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital

The hospital staff were both friendly and professional, creating a very comfortable environment. My room was clean and well-appointed, and everything was explained to me clearly throughout the process. I felt reassured by the thorough checks carried out before and after the surgery. The catering staff were also very helpful and attentive. The entire process was efficient, with regular visits from staff to check on my recovery. I also received a follow-up call from Mr. Sian the next day to check on my condition, which I greatly appreciated.

Spire Harpenden Hospital

5-Star Review for Dr. Alan Parbhoo I'm absolutely delighted with Dr. Alan Parbhoo's care! He performed a tooth extraction due to a root canal failure, and the procedure was a success. Dr. Parbhoo was incredibly caring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making me feel at ease. The aftercare was also amazing, ensuring a smooth recovery. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Parbhoo! His expertise, kindness, and dedication to patient care are truly exceptional.

The Medical - Cheltenham

Chiropractic

My last visit was with my Chiropractor at the end of a tri program. (Program included a Chiropractor and 2 Physiotherapists - Soft tissue and Exercise) Following my initial diagnosis, which was both thorough and explanatory, I always received a warm welcome at Reception which helps when you are feeling fragile. The program mixed between all three experts and I only ever had to wait a few minutes for my scheduled appointment. Each expert was friendly, professional and put me at ease straight away.

Basuto Medical Centre

Dermatology, General Practice (GP), + 1 more

Now being in my eighties I have for the last three years had an annual check-up at the Basuto Medical Centre (Dr Pozzi). The check-ups have been extremely comprehensive and informative. Indeed so well have they been conducted that they has given me peace of mind with any possible problems being both explained and, if necessary, dealt with. I cannot speak more highly of the way I have been treated and can think of no anyway the Busuto Medical Centre could have given me a better service.

Mr Ross Fawdington

Orthopaedic Surgeon

What a true gentleman he was from the first time we met to the post op. He takes time to explain the operation in detail and what to expect in every day language. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for the support and the neat cut in my hand for the operation he undertook. Mr Fawdington you are the most understanding surgeon I have had the pleasure of meeting. Regards.

Dr Glyn Thomas

Cardiologist

I had a heart ablation on the 17th June2025. Within hours of the procedure my health started to improve. I could walk up stairs without getting breathless. I could bend down without feeling faint. I could hold my head up straight . Now three months later, my skin is improving and I feel well for the first time in years. Life changing. Thank you Dr Thomas.

Dr Joseph Kwan

General (Internal) Medicine

Dr Kwan is an exceptional doctor! Highly knowledgeable and caring and probably the most thorough consultation I’ve ever had. In addition to his questioning of me to fully understand my health, he answered and explained all my questions and concerns. The NHS and the public are very fortunate to have such a professional.

Ms Lisa Jagan

Ophthalmologist

Highly recommend this surgeon! Miss Jagan was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. She also performed a same-day in office procedure which was incredibly convenient and solved my problem instantly. I will definitely be back to her if I have any future eye issues pop up.

Dr Jeffrey Ahmed
