Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

I endured a horrific accident about 10 years ago when I fell (I believe due to a drink being spiked) and fractured two of my front teeth, one so badly that I had to have root canal work done and a crown fitted, I was devastated to learn that the root canal had failed and had caused an infection which would require further and costly dental work. The staff at Vermilion couldn't have done any better in how they treated me throughout the course of treatment which spanned 3 months. Dr Treagus in particular, must be highly commended, as despite his struggles in drilling through the crown (due to metalwork within the crown) to enable him to carry out the treatment, persevered and kept me informed at every stage, detailing worst case scenarios and explaining very directly what my options were. He and his colleagues managed to create a calm, and at times humorous environment which really helped to take my mind off the seriousness of what needed to be done and what could go wrong. I highly recommend the practice for their professionalism, and sheer determination to achieve a good outcome for me.

Mr Shankar Thiagarajah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Right hip replacement I was in a lot of pain before the surgery after meeting Mr Shankar Thiagarajah with his professional, open and friendly manor, he fully explained the procedure and put my mind at ease. Being a nervous person, I won’t lie I was petrified , but the whole process from initial consultation through to operation and recovery was without a doubt down to his experience and supporting team.. I had my surgery at the MEOC centre in Mexborough, a purpose built facility and specialist orthopaedic centre. His support team were excellent, a credit to Mr Thiagarajah. After 8 weeks, my life has returned back to normal, without pain and that is with my 10,000 steps daily ritual.

The London Clinic

Physiotherapy, Dermatology, + 13 more

Wonderful care from good staff but the bed was uncomfortable and the room was too small and felt airless and too hot. But the main thing is that hopefully this surgery will enable me to have a better quality of life. I already feel that my powers of concentration have improved and my brain is working better. It seems to me that once the soreness and itchy neck skin heals I will be back at the gym in January feeling thirty years younger. The hospital has done a good job and staff team are excellent. My only recommendation is that you knock the building down and build some more comfortable bedrooms with good ventilation with some comfortable beds for tall people.

Paediatric Diagnostics

Gastroenterology, Diagnostics & Testing, + 5 more

All staff, including the doctor we saw, we're very friendly, made us feel at ease, and the procedure appears to have been carried out smoothly. The only thing I'd fault is the communication before the appointment, particularly the emails. They include a misleading price, the suggestion that a follow-up would not be required (when we understand that is completely normal) and we'd understood that we could/should be in the room when the procedure was taking place, which was then quite strongly advised against.

Mr Josef Watfah

General Surgeon

Dr Watfah is a superb doctor and surgeon. He is calm, very kind and most importantly fully aware of you emotional and physically state and provides excellent support during appointments to confirm full understanding and asssurance before and after surgery. Highly recommend Dr Watfah, we need more doctors like him with a real human connection and ability to understand you and put you at ease. You will be in great hands. Thank you Dr Watfah for being an amazing understanding medical professional

Dr. Farrah Ayob

Pain Management Specialist

Dr. Farrah Ayob provided excellent, attentive care during my visit. She listened closely to what I'd been experiencing, took my pain seriously, and explained everything clearly so I understood each step of the plan. Her calm and reassuring approach made the appointment feel comfortable and straightforward. I left feeling supported, informed, and confident in the treatment she recommended, and I would definitely see her again whenever needed. I genuinely appreciate the care she provided.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

The check up today went really well and I was given reassurance and advice toward looking after my eyes by the thourough Cathedral Eye knowledgeable and experienced staff. The different tests and mannerly handovers following scans etc. from start to finish of appointment are seamless. And the appointment starts so well being welcomed in at the front desk, through too being checked out so that nothing is forgotten from eye drops to appointment times leaving nothing to chance.

Mrs Melanie Cullis

Acupuncturist

Having acupuncture with Melanie has been transformative for my TTC journey after recurrent miscarriage. From the very first session I felt safe and welcomed. The infertility and pregnancy loss world can be intimidating and punishing at times, and very often you are made to feel like you are not 'doing enough' or 'should be doing more' and I'm so glad I never felt this vibe from Melanie. Her support goes beyond an acupuncture session and is so holistic and caring.

Poland Medical

Cardiology, Dentistry, + 12 more

I am very pleased with the service at Poland Medical. The staff are friendly, helpful and always professional. The reception team is well-organised, and appointments run smoothly without long waiting times. The doctors take their time, explain everything clearly and make you feel comfortable and well cared for. The whole clinic is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend Poland Medical to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality medical care

Mr Max Whittaker

ENT Surgeon

Dr. Max Whittaker is an excellent surgeon whose results speak for themselves. The surgery to repair my perforated eardrum was a complete success. Being able to swim again without fear of pain, further damage, or hearing loss is an incredible gift, for which I am deeply grateful. His expertise, combined with a hands-on, practical approach and genuine care, made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Whittaker.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

Everything was excellent. Staff were kind, friendly and efficient without exception. My only concern is that there does not seem to have been a good reason for the 14 week wait after referral. It seemed clear that Newmedica would have had capacity to complete the procedure sooner but apparently the NHS would not pay for this flexibility. My sight deteriorated in that time so that was a personal negative.

Essex Private Doctors

General Practice (GP)

I had a very positive experience visiting the menopause doctor. The only criticism relates to payment policy. I was required to pay the full amount for my next appointment six months in advance, which I felt was a little harsh. I completely understand taking a deposit to secure the appointment - perhaps 50% would be more reasonable - but paying in full so far ahead of time does feel quite steep.

Dr. Tom Marrs

Paediatrician

Wonderful experience for my young daughter. Dr Marrs was kind and thoughtful, he took him time and spoke to her directly whilst listening attentively to all of the context I was adding in the background. It's always a daunting experience for young children to go to the doctor, especially for repeat issues and it truly makes the world of difference when the doctor has a caring demeanor.

Spire Parkway Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 16 more

I previously had surgery with Mr Haq for breast cancer and recently had concerns with the other breast. It was easy to book the appointment and seen within 3 days. Consultation was very reassuring and tests completed the same day. I felt confident in the professionalism and care I received by all staff, special thanks to Mr Haq, Nuala and the radiographer who performed my chest x-ray.

Dr. Matthew Oates

General Practitioner

The booking process was seamless and I was able to add on a couple of additional tests while I was there. Matthew is a very approachable, knowledgeable individual. Would have no hesitation in recommending Southside Medical to anyone out there frustrated with their current NHS arrangements.

Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I needed a knee replacement and Mr Griffiths was recommended to me by neighbour. II had my other knee replaced elsewhere several years ago but this has been such a better experience. I have been pain free since the day of my snuggery and I cannot thank him and his team enough!
