I had my first consultant appointment yesterday, regarding a hernia condition that was flagged by an NHS consultant earlier this year. I saw Dr Richard Novell. In the lead-up to the appointment, I had managed to get the referral paperwork, but no scan imagery. On meeting Dr Novell, he informed me that scans were useless anyway for Hernia diagnosis, and he then proceeded to examine me. After this, he told me that I didn’t have a hernia, when I asked about the fact that another specialist had examined me and thought differently, he agreed that doctors tend to give different answers. My issue, is not that he dosen’t agree with another consultants opinion (as well as the person who conducted Ultrasound) but that I am currently in pain, which is harming the quality of my life, and when asked about next steps to resolve this, he had nothing to offer, when pushed he offered to speak to a colleage for a second opinion. So in terms of empathy, it's pretty frustrating, and I have to be honest, it's a complete waste of time from my perspective.

Here is a polished, clearer version of your text: ⸻ Firstly, I would like to thank Dr. Jagwant Singh. I broke my collarbone four years ago and had a titanium plate fitted at Whipps Cross Hospital. Since that operation, my shoulder had been in constant pain. After numerous hospital visits and rounds of physiotherapy, I was repeatedly told there was nothing wrong and that I would simply have to live with it. I was then recommended to Dr. Jagwant Singh, and from my very first appointment he recognised that something wasn’t right. He immediately sent me for an MRI scan, which revealed a bicep tear and a labral tear. He arranged the necessary surgery and successfully repaired my shoulder. I cannot thank Dr. Jagwant Singh enough. I’m now eight weeks post-op, the pain has almost completely gone, and my movement has nearly returned. From the first visit, Dr. Singh explained everything clearly, never rushed, and always took the time to answer all my questions.

The initial consultation was an evening appointment and I considered it to be expensive. The consultants fee (Dr Kadhim) was £250 (equating to £1000 per hour) Administration fee £35 (for what) and an e.c.g which took all of 5 minutes was £111. Total £396. I was promised by the consultant that Cardioversion would happen before my holiday in mid December but received excuses from admin staff why this could not happen. I kept pestering and eventually received notice at 3.00pm the day before that Cardioversion would occur at 07.30 the following morning. The actual Cardioversion went without hitch, the consultant Dr Menown and his staff were excellent, facilities were good, food was ample and all went well. So do not take no for an answer.

I came for a complete tight hip replacement. Staff were all friendly and answered all my questions. Was taken t my room, unpacked got dressed as required. Put on my dressing gown and then read my book. Was taken into pre prep surgery, chatted to the anesthetist and other nurses. Was then moved into the surgery. Operation went well, I was kept up to date during the procedure. I was listening to music throughout. No pain at all, at the end met the surgeons and chatted with them. Went to the recoveryward for about and hour, chatted with the nurses and relaxed. Then taken back to my room and relaxed.

Mr Adel Tavakkolizadeh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I attended for an orthopaedic assessment of trigger finger and fracture damage to my right hand little finger. The consultation with Mr T was highly professional. The issues were expressed clearly and a prompt indication of possible action and the probable cost were provided. Mr T was a pleasure to deal with., as was the anaesthetist who spoke to me before the operation. The post op consultation was equally professional and informative. I am now half way through the physio programme, which is proving helpful.

Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Our baby girl was delivered at the Fitzrovia. We were supported by the amazing Dr. Chawla and a highly competent team of midwives. We felt cared for by the midwives throughout the delivery, especially Lesley, Chrissy and our anaesthetist John, and throughout our after birth experience. The suite was comfortable and had comprehensive catering. We would recommend the experience to others and are happy we chose the Fitzrovia.

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.

Excellent service! Thank you! The below is not to do with Dr Surpriya B an all. Just a recommendation for Nuffield in general please - Just need to ensure blood tests results are being transferred to the NHS GP records appropriately. If the logistical dynamics of this could be sorted where results can link to the nhs app too, everything would be spot on!

Dr Israa Al-Shakarchi

Rheumatologist

I was extremely impressed with Dr Al-Shakarchis professionalism, the time she took to explain matters to me and her absolute attention to detail and positive manner. I came away feeling so much better just by having talked to her. And my symptoms are feeling better today so I think it was that positivity setting in. A credit to your profession.

Dr. Margarita Kitova-John

Well worth attending the lantern clinic. Dr Margarita was brilliant, very knowledgeable and informative. She was very nice and I felt comfortable taking about my health issues with her and she recommended a detox diet and supplements for starters.

Dr Mohan Babu Rathnaiah

Thank you so much for giving me twice as long. It was very kind of you indeed. Dr Mohan is very patient, very kind and extraordinarily knowledgeable. He explains everything clearly, in an easy-to-understand, non-pompous, manner.
