Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo

General Surgeon

Mr Veeramootoo was the surgeon for my procedure to fix an inguinal hernia. The procedure was carried out at Spire Clare Park Hospital in mid-December 2025. I met with Mr Veeramootoo for a consultation in October and then again on the morning of my procedure. During these meetings he clearly explained what would happen during the procedure and he answered all my questions. Mr Veeramootoo visited me once more, when I had recovered from the general anaesthetic and confirmed that the procedure had gone smoothly. I was able to return home the same day. In the first week following the procedure, I was fortunate in experiencing very little real pain and the general discomfort in the area of the procedure had largely gone by the end of the second week. I regained my mobility very quickly and was able to walk multiple miles without discomfort by the end of the first week. Now, four weeks after the procedure, I feel largely back to normal, my body providing only occasional reminders that I shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous. Overall, I have a very positive view of the care I received. I wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Veeramootoo and to all of the staff who were involved in my treatment and care.

Schoen Clinic Chelsea

Coaching, Holistic Therapy, + 7 more

My care at this clinic has been outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone needing expert psychiatric support for complex trauma. The service is psychiatry-led, with the consultant coordinating treatment plans and supervising input from psychology, occupational therapy, group therapy and trauma modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT and embodied psychotherapy. This ensured that care was coherent rather than fragmented. I initially attended four in-person sessions per week and have now safely transitioned to monthly. The team have specialist expertise in workplace bullying, institutional power dynamics and identity-related trauma, which is unusual to find. The level of understanding and clinical leadership has made a meaningful difference to my recovery, and I could not recommend the service more highly.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), General Surgery, + 5 more

I had an initial consultation for varicose vein treatment (following a flyer in the post) and following further investigations/diagnosis I went ahead and had an operation. The whole experience from beginning to end was first class. Everything was fully explained to me and all my questions were answered before deciding on the most appropriate treatment. The operation (under local anaesthetic) went well with a nurse talking to me all the time and explaining everything which was happening as as well as distracting me! My recovery went as planned - and as explained - and a follow up visit to see the consultant was very reassuring. All in all I was very pleased with everything and would not hesitate in recommending Shepton Mallet Hospital.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

I had my Pre-assessment on 14/91/26 at 09.30. I arrived early because of the inadequate parking at the hospital but was pleasantly surprised to be able to park straight away so, I arrived at 09.00 for my appt. I registered with reception then the nurse, Sharon, called me. Sharon talked me through my Pre-assessment and explained in detail what would happen when I'm admitted for my op. She gave me an ECG, took MRSA swabs and I had my bloods taken. Sharon explained several forms to me and provided Octensian wash and nasal gel for me to use prior to admission and after. The whole experience was positive. Sharon was very professional with an easy, friendly manner and kindly answered my questions that she had not already covered.

Mr Nicholas Hodgins

Plastic Surgeon

I cannot recommend Mr Hodgins highly enough. From my initial consultation to my final post-operative follow-up, the entire experience was seamless and professional. Mr Hodgins took the time to explain the procedure in detail, ensuring I understood both the risks and the expected outcomes, which immediately put my mind at ease. The surgery itself was excellent and the recovery has been even smoother than anticipated thanks to his meticulous technique and clear aftercare instructions. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines world-class expertise with a compassionate bedside manner, look no further. He and his team are absolutely amazing.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I had an online ADHD assessment with Bernhard Kelley-Patterson. Bernhard was very friendly and professional, I felt at ease throughout the appointment and would happily talk with him again. So far my experience with Skylight has been very positive, the wait times between communication emails are generally 3-5 days and it took approximately 8 weeks to get my first appointment after the registering my interest. Considering the NHS waiting list for an ADHD assessment is 4 years, I’d say that pretty damn good. I would highly recommend opting for Skylight through the ‘Right to Choose’ pathway via the NHS. Thanks Bernhard and thank you Skylight

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

My recent visit was for a crown fitting and work on the gums. I saw Dr Balawal . I have had a number of appointments with him. He explains what he is doing and, he takes care to ensure the patient is not experiencing any discomfort. I have always understood, and been pleased with, his treatment. He presents as a very competent, conscientious dentist. The reception staff are all polite, helpful and friendly. I am so pleased that I contacted Quality Dental. I have taken out a dental plan and will continue to attend this surgery. I don't know what the other dentists in the practice are like, but I can certainly recommend Dr Balawal.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

The waiting area had few chairs and not enough for the people waiting. The people around there that gave me paperwork and told me where to wait, were polite and helpful. The appointment with the consultant was really distressing, I couldn't ask questions and didn't discussed with me the plan, just set up steps without getting me involved on her treatment plan. This experience was very negative from what I expected when you go to a professional asking for advice and reviewing if your body is working well. The consultant is not on the list from next step: dr Anastasia Goumenou, gynecologist

Mr Kailas Munot

General Surgeon

I have recently had breast implants removed, a breast lift and areola reduction at Nuffield Leeds. The whole process has been very smooth and despite the anticipated pain, I am recovering well. My results are better than I could have ever wished for, and I am so pleased I chose to have surgery with Mr Munot, after researching lots of different surgeons and being impressed with his expertise. Mr Munot has listened to me well and has been very responsive and reassuring if I have had any questions along the way. I am looking forward to seeing my final results once fully healed.

Dr. Ziad Farah

Rheumatologist

Dr Ziad Farah is professional yet personable. He studied my case in detail and was able to provide reassurance on how my treatment was going. He is incredibly responsive and fast acting - I have never experienced this before but I am so grateful for this as he was able to act quickly on my case which has been prolonged for months. He provided me with the right referrals, quickly. Most of all, he was one of the first specialists to take his time and listen to me in detail and was very understanding and empathetic. Thank you Dr Farah, your help has been greatly appreciated!

Mr Praveen Panose

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr. Panose for hip tendinopathy - he explained the issue and options clearly, along with the pros & cons and likely outcomes. I received a PRP injection - the team and Mr. Panose were kind and professional and the condition I have been suffering for years has vastly improved. I have had steroid injections before and I would always now advocate PRP if it is an option - it has had a material and long lasting positive impact. I am delighted i met Mr. Panose and was under his care.

Professor James East

Gastroenterologist

I recently had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy under the care of Prof East. Clear advice and guidance were provided in preparation for the procedures. I opted for sedation, and the procedures were quick and pain free. I received prompt feedback and (initial) reports following the two procedures. Prof East is very professional and reassuring when dealing with patients. Overall, I feel I am under excellent clinical care. Prof East is supported by an efficient admin team.

The Leeds Skin Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

I was seen by Nurse Emma and I honestly had the best experience I could have ever asked for, she was patient, kind and explained everything clearly to me, after such a negative experience previously with my GP I was very nervous and scared to have my implant out, I spoke to Emma about this and she took everything very slow, constantly asking me if I was ok, everything about my visit with Emma was perfect, she is amazing and I would recommend her to everyone!

Mr Matthew Oakley

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Oakley could not of been more helpfull in explaining to me the complexities of the operation I was going to have on my knee.Unfortunately on my first visit to the Operating theatre there was a slight problem but it was dealt with without any fuss by his team and I had the procedure done a fortnight later,with great success I might add.The aftercare I had was second to none and I have no complaints whatsoever.Doubles and trebles all round.Cheers!

Ms Manju Singh

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Miss Singh is the epitome of professional. She treats patients with respect as well as kindness. She tells you it straight and I truly like that. But she is supportive and gives you fabulous advice on how to move forward. She tells you what you need to know and has your best interests fully at heart. I trust her fully and would recommend her to all my family and friends. Infact I sent my daughter to see her for a check up!!

I’ve been seeing Syed Gillani for my post-ACL surgery rehab and I’m really happy with the service. He’s been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my recovery. He explains everything clearly and tailors the rehab to how I’m progressing, which has made a big difference. I’ve seen great results and would definitely recommend him.
