Find your trusted Doctor

Dr. Lorraine Kemp

General Practitioner

As a business owner and mum of 2 it is vital that I keep operating as close to my A Game as I can. As a result I have been trying to find both the optimal HRT for me personally - and also the best provider/ clinic I can find. I started with the NHS and my local doctor which quickly didn’t feel bespoke or targeted enough for my hormonal needs or personalised in the approach. I then registered with an online menopause clinic and worked thru them for over a year. The HRT felt much better however it was a logistical challenge. HRT was sent thru the post and took 2 weeks to arrive. If you missed/ had to reschedule an online appointment/ blood test (which with a business and kids happens regularly) it had ramifications so I would find myself running out of HRT with a 2 week stretch ahead of me. This just didn’t work with my job where I am client facing and needing to know that I am feeling grounded, confident and not overwhelmed / severely anxious. Another problem I found was that the online clinic wasn’t conferring with my NHS doctor so my records were not up to date which felt concerning. I have private health and know how close the private doctors work with the NHS so this raised alarm bells to me. It was in one of these periods when I was about to go into a work trip with no HRT that in my desperation I saw an advert for Dr Kemp. I booked an appointment with her and the process felt so personalised and easy. The consultation was surprisingly in depth (much more so than the online clinic). I realised after the consultation the importance of working with a medical professional who can take a holistic view of your health as a female - not just focussing on your hormones. I realised during the call that I was behind on my mammogram - and also have since the call booked myself in for therapy in the advice of Dr Kemp. She asked for a blood test - and prescribed a new variation of HRT with clear instructions on how to use. The prescription was emailed direct to me within a few hours and I could use my local chemist to action it. This felt so liberating being able to pick up within hours as oppose to waiting for a few weeks. Dr Kemp sent me the notes from our conversation with her suggested next step actions - which prompted me to both book the mammogram and therapy. And has checked in a number of times since. She also sent a letter to my NHS doctor and logged both the recommendations and HRT prescription. As a result if I need some urgently and I can’t contact Dr Kemp I can now go direct to my NHS doctor and ask them to prescribe. I feel I have finally found the set up and professional I need to be able to navigate myself through the perimenopause and menopause whilst maintaining the responsibilities I have in my life. I’ve realised how anxious I have been previously not feeling like I have a medical professional and HRT available to me - and I feel so relieved that I’ve been able to find the set up with Dr Kemp. No matter what the menopause continues to bring up/ throw at me I know I can face it head on - with my optimum health and mind set - with the advice of Dr Kemp helping me maintain my emotional and physical strength.

Professor Keyoumars Ashkan MBE

Neurosurgeon

From the moment I was diagnosed with a Meningioma to before I met my neurosurgeon, I was led through a feeling of uncertainty and worried about what the future would be for me. And then I met Professor Ashkan…not only did he provide every detail of the procedure, answered every question with patience with a calm and personable demeanour, but I realised I was meeting a man with an unbelievable blend of brilliance and human gentleness. I was not rushed or overwhelmed with medical terms, but I was given a detailed explanation of what the procedure entailed in a reassuring, kind and confident way. I knew there and then that I only wanted Professor Ashkan to perform my operation, and I totally believed, and now know, that he is the best of the best with the skill and experience of a genius with the hands of a master of his knowledge and expertise. My operation was a success and I cannot thank Professor Ashkan and his exceptional team enough and I feel so very lucky to have had such a remarkable and brilliant surgeon perform my Meningioma excision!

Professor Bijendra Patel

I am writing to provide a full heartfelt reference to Professor Patel, who was responsible for my care at Wellington Hospital. His professionalism , compassion, and clinical excellence made an extraordinary impact on both my recovery and my confidence during a very difficult time.. From my first interaction with him , Professor Patel demonstrated exceptional skill and a deeply caring approach . He communicated clearly, listened attentively, and always made me feel respected and supported. His calm manner and willingness to explain each stage of my treatment gave me reassurance when I needed it most . I firmly believe that Professor Patel’s expertise and commitment to my wellbeing went far beyond what I ever expected.

I offer him my highest recommendation without reservation. Kind regards , Jerry P.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sabur Maluk performed a partial knee replacement 5 weeks ago., prior to this I had pain on walking also the knee locked (bone on bone). Although an X-ray reported tricompartmental arthritis i wanted a partial replacement to be considered . Mr Maluk was recommended by a friend and I researched his orthopaedic interests. I was pleased I could be referred to him on the NHS and was seen promptly. He reviewed an MRI scan and suggested a partial knee replacement was possible. The Surgery was efficient at West Midlands Private Hospital and I was discharged the next day walking with crutches . Healing has been quick over 3 weeks . Mr Maluk has a well organised system and his whole team works well. As a bonus he is polite gentle calm and a fabulous surgeon. Thank you

Mr Christopher Hoo

Plastic Surgeon

I recently underwent surgery at Kingsbridge Private Hospital, and I genuinely cannot put into words how grateful I am for the incredible care I received. From the moment my procedure was over, the nurses were by my side — kind, patient, and so comforting. They made me feel safe and completely at ease during a time that could have been overwhelming. My surgeon and nurse continued that same level of warmth and support throughout my aftercare. Their reassurance, responsiveness, and genuine concern for my wellbeing meant more to me than they probably realise. Their care and attention were truly outstanding — compassionate, professional, and heartfelt in every way. I am so thankful to each and every one of them, and I could not recommend Kingsbridge highly enough.

Dr Philip Woodland

Gastroenterologist

After almost a year of tests under another organisation, Dr Woodland was almost instantly able to pinpoint what my problem was and create a plan of action for my treatment going ahead. He also told me I was unlikely to need the tests that I was booked in for elsewhere, which would have saved me a lot of money had I been paying for them privately. Although I am still on the road to complete health, Dr Woodland was very good at putting things into perspective for me, which has given me hope! He has helped my physical condition, which has in turn had a hugely positive effect on my mental health. Thank you again! I will be straight back to you if I need your help again.

Overall, I was very happy with the hospital, especially with our stay in the PICU. The nurses were exceptionally friendly, professional, and compassionate. During such a difficult time, their kindness and dedication made a huge difference. They not only cared for our child after surgery but also supported us as parents, showing patience and understanding throughout. It is reassuring to be surrounded by people who combine professionalism with genuine humanity, and I am truly grateful for the care we received!

Dr. Osama Moussa

General Surgeon

I was admitted via A&E . Dr Moussa made the decision to remove my gallbladder despite me being 87 years old. It was the right decision as my gallbladder had ruptured. His bedside manner was extremely caring, he explained everything in detail and I felt completely confident under his care. During my follow up appointment he took his time assessing my health and treated me like I was one of his family. I have never experienced such wonderful care from any other health professionals.

I had a great experience with Dr Mohamed Goda. He is very calm, respectful, and makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk in.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy gynaecologist.
