Professor Sagar Doshi

Cardiologist

Nobody looks forward to a heart operation and I was certainly nervous as I arrived 30 minutes late due to a traffic jam at the QE main car park. The receptionist was cool and just told me to wait. When the porter arrived to take me to my room, the personnel interface changed to friendliness and quiet authority for the duration of my stay. As the process unfolded every new person was friendly and smiling. I met Prof Doshi for a final briefing at which he told me that due to my low pulse rate, the chances of needing a pacemaker during the procedure were 1 in 4. I remember very little of the procedure in the operating theatre though astonished by the visible technology. When I became more conscious of events, I was on a bed in the ICU unit. I can then only describe my feelings as totally subservient to the warm people attending me and feeling extremely relaxed. The degree of attention was extremely confidence building. Prof. Leyva visited me to explain that a pacemaker had been fitted during the operation though I hadn't previously researched the implications of that. In the next 24 hours, I must have had twenty different people attend me and all behaving in the same friendly professional way and rebuilding my own confidence. The physio took me from my bed for a walking and stairs test and pronounced me fit to go home. When I was asked to order some lunch prior to discharge I was invited to have my wife also join me for lunch which was a nice way to end my stay. I was surprised at my own feeling of normality walking to the car park only 30 hours after arriving and having undergone a serious operation which only a few years ago would have required an extensive stay in hospital. On my return home and back in my study I was able to relax and share with my wife the discharge notes and recovery regime. I write this five days after the operation and now into 3 ten minute walks a day which I am finding easy to do without any breathlessness. As I work towards full recovery, I will probably look back forgetting the anxiety of the time and think only with gratitude of those remarkable people and the amazing work they do. Paul T

Mrs Maya Harris

Urologist

I consulted Mrs Maya Harris due to an enlarged prostate that was now causing incontinence. To address this issue, NHS treatment had inserted a catheter and put me on a waiting list for surgery, but I had no confirmation as to the date of such a procedure. Hence, I decided to investigate private treatment and following google based research, I determined that a good starting point was to have an initial consultation with Mrs Harris. She was very understanding and identified a slot for an appropriate procedure some 5 weeks hence, She provided reading matter for the possible range of treatments while recommending in my case, Aquablation therapy. This is a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted procedure for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses a heat-free, high-pressure waterjet to precisely remove tissue, providing long-lasting, durable symptom relief. Following my review of the supplied literature, I concluded this was an appropriate option, and proceeded confirm the operation, which was successfully carried out by Mrs Harris at a nearby private hospital with good follow up monitoring and then 6-weeks after the procedure, discharged by Mrs Harris. I have been very pleased with the results and was able to recommence my work, just two weeks after the procedure, initially remotely and then on-site in my profession as a business consultant. I am very happy to recommend Mrs Harris for those with similar symptoms to what I was enduring.

Hi My time with glenda was superb , since the start of my sessions i was greeted with great compassion. Glenda has a great ability to dig up issues that made me feel i was in the right place. When i was diagnosed with depression ,anxiety ,ptsd and finally adhd glenda started with my adhd issues first which we worked together to finally understand my feelings and also understand who i was . Glenda has really helped me with talking about my depression in a big way as i thought it was just normal to feel sucidal all the time and thinking real bad things in my mind. I have always known there was something not quite right since when i was young but again i thought it was normal but glenda taught me to understand that things i did and have done over the years were not so normal . I felt i was in good hands with glenda and like to thanks her again for helping me at such a bad time in my life , and if anyone else in this world needs that help glenda is there to help. I am now in a better place

I visited the hospital to see an orthopaedic surgeon after having a fall at work and damaging my knee. I have had issue with it since the accident I suffered at work.I was advised to lodge a claim with my employers insurance. This I did because of the problems I am having with my knee. I was sent to see this gentleman so he could assess the damage to my knee. I was treated as if I was only there because I was lodging a claim and to have recompense for the damage I suffered and still am. He seemed very abrupt and I felt as though I was cross examined over the form I had filled in regarding my injury. I left the room feeling like I had done something extremely bad and wrong. I have never had to go through this scenario and very much hope not to have to go through another. I am a patient who has an injury that I am advised my a consultant needs an operation yet I was treated though I was feigning injury. I do not feel valued having attend at the one hospital.

Prof. Ben Miranda

Plastic Surgeon

I met Professor Ben Miranda at the Spire Wellesley hospital in Essex. He was very approachable and I felt comfortable explaining my condition to him. He showed genuine interest and we discussed my options. I was booked in for surgery very quickly and the communication from his office was prompt and concise. On the day of surgery I felt completely at ease. We discussed the procedure again and I was excited to start! We chatted throughout the procedure, it all felt very calm. Before I left the hospital, I knew about the aftercare, what to expect in terms of recovery duration and my follow up appointments were all booked in. The whole experience was so much easier than I thought it would be, it's been a total pleasure being in Professor Miranda's care, I genuinely couldn't be happier with this whole process. Would highly recommend him for your surgery, he's not just a great surgeon, he's a very warm and considerate man.

Dear Doctor and Team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the outstanding care I received during my gastroscopy. From start to finish, the entire process was made so much easier than I had expected. Dr Hayat was absolutely fantastic — humane, empathetic, and reassuring — which made a huge difference to me. The staff took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions patiently, and helped me feel informed and calm throughout. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. What could have been a very stressful and frightening experience was turned into a positive one, not only for me but also for my partner, who felt reassured by the kindness and clarity shown by the team. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved. Your compassion and professionalism truly made a lasting impression, and I am very grateful.

I am highly satisfied with the care and treatment I received from Mr Terrace during my recent hospital visit. He was very friendly and courteous with a pleasant bedside manner, while at the same time being very professional. I knew from the outset that I’d chosen the best consultant to carry out my procedure. Everything was clearly explained and I felt very confident that the necessary surgery would go well, which indeed it did. I am delighted with the way I’m feeling just one week after my surgery. I would highly recommend this consultant to anyone requiring my type of surgery. Overall my visit was a 10 out of 10 experience and I am very grateful to Mr Terrace and his team.

Unfortunately, having burnt my fingers and subsequently acquired an infection, I rang the Centre at 10.00. am and asked for an urgent appointment to see a general practitioner. The receptionist offered me two appointments, one at 11.40 am and one at 1.00 pm. I took the earlier appointment and was seen within 10 minutes by Dr Porter. She was very efficient, warm and understanding. I was prescribed medication, which was supplied by the clinic's pharmacy and back in my office by midday. Excellent service, and I thoroughly recommend Centennial

Mr Vishal Prasad

Mr Prasad was recommended by a surgeon friend. When we met, he took the time to fully understand my issues and what I wanted out of the process. He has a very pleasant bedside manner and answered all of my questions in a way a layman could understand. I was confident I had made a good choice. The experience at the hospital was outstanding. Everyone at the Runnymede was professional, courteous and reassuring. The procedure had an excellent outcome and exceeded my expectations. Would I recommend Mr Prasad to a friend - YES!

Spire Manchester Hospital is exceptional in every sense. The nursing staff who cared for our son were outstanding and made the entire experience feel calm and reassuring rather than clinical. In particular, Sarah was wonderful — attentive, warm, and highly professional, creating an environment that didn’t feel like a hospital at all. The standard of care throughout was exemplary, and this was without question the least stressful surgery experience we have had. We are extremely grateful to the nursing team.

Having been for a much longer and more complicated surgery, a year ago, I already knew that I would be in good hands for this, more minor procedure. The staff as so attentive and friendly, it was lovely to see most of the same familiar faces and to be remembered by them. Everything is exceptionally clean and I felt very well looked after, my consultant saw me before and after the procedure and kept me well informed. The anaesthetist also explained everything that would happen, answering any questions.

The Pregnancy Clinic

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Visiting The Pregnancy Clinic has been an amazing experience for both of us. The team is professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made my partner feel comfortable and supported throughout the pregnancy. Professor Ranjit Akolekar takes the time to explain everything clearly and answer all our questions. The clinic is modern, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend The Pregnancy Clinic to any couple looking for excellent care during this special journey

Mr Javier Moraleda

ENT Surgeon

I highly recommend Dr. Javier Moraleda. I had been struggling with recurring ear infections for a long time, and he was the first specialist to truly get to the bottom of the issue. He was incredibly proactive, identifying and treating a fungal infection followed by a bacterial one. Beyond just the immediate cure, he took the time to educate me on long-term prevention and treatment. I feel much more confident managing my health thanks to his expertise.
