The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Mr Nitesh Patel

ENT Surgeon

I first saw Dr. Patel earlier this year because I had suddenly developed tinnitus. After an MRI came back clear, he diagnosed me with something he called “functional ear syndrome”, suggesting biological, psychological or social changes and vestibular migraine as the probable cause. A few months later, things deteriorated. I began experiencing severe dizziness alongside an amplified tinnitus, so I returned for a follow-up appointment. I explained that my symptoms were getting worse, but I was once again reassured it was “functional ear syndrome” and was told that CBT might help. I left feeling as though my concerns weren’t being properly heard or investigated. Because my symptoms continued to escalate, I sought a second opinion. Further tests have now revealed that I actually have sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), a condition that needs timely treatment. My hearing loss is mild to moderate and I am currently undergoing steroid treatment to try to preserve my hearing - a situation that might have been avoided or at least addressed much earlier if my symptoms had been taken more seriously in the first place. This review reflects my personal experience only. I felt dismissed and overlooked at a time when I really needed a clear and thorough medical assessment and I hope that by sharing this, others with similar symptoms are encouraged to advocate for themselves and seek additional input if something doesn’t feel right.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Kelso

Dental Care, Dentistry

Despite the industrial estate address, the practice is a lovely, bright, modern building adjacent to open fields, easy to find and ample parking close to the main entrance. I was met with a warm, friendly smile and the lady on reception couldn’t have been nicer. I was asked to complete a short health questionnaire on a tablet. I waited no more than 10 minutes before Dr Wright saw me. Both she and the nurse were also warm & friendly whilst very professional, everything was explained clearly to me, including the cost of the treatment, before treatment started. Dr Wright was extremely good at putting me at ease and checking on me as the treatment progressed. The anaesthetic was administered virtually unnoticed. After a few minutes Dr Wright removed my tooth completely painlessly, it was quick and there was barely any trauma to my gum. Even when the anaesthetic wore off, I had zero pain or discomfort and needed no further painkillers after the dose I had immediately before treatment. By far, the best experience in a dentists chair I have ever had, can’t recommend Vermillion enough

Dr. Sandeep Ankolekar

Neurologist

Dr. Ankolekar has been an exceptional stroke specialist throughout my mum’s treatment and recovery. From the very beginning, he showed not only outstanding medical expertise but also genuine compassion and patience. He took the time to explain every step of her diagnosis, treatment options, and progress in a way our whole family could understand, which made an incredibly difficult time feel more manageable. His calm, reassuring approach helped my mum feel safe and supported, and his attention to detail gave us complete confidence in her care. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients’ wellbeing, both medically and emotionally. Thanks to Dr. Ankolekar’s guidance, professionalism, and kindness, my mum has made remarkable progress. We are deeply grateful for everything he has done for her and for our family. I would highly recommend Dr. Ankolekar to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate stroke specialist.

Professor Yogesh Bajaj

ENT Surgeon

I recently had my septoplasty surgery done by Dr. Yogesh Bajaj, and my experience has been excellent. My healing happened on time, and I am very satisfied with the results. I had been suffering from breathing problems for a long time and was very confused about what to do. But when I visited Dr. Yogesh, he explained my issue clearly and straightforwardly, and booked my surgery. Alhamdulillah, I am now feeling so much better. I also researched his educational background, and he is truly a very experienced doctor. May Allah bless Dr. Yogesh with a long and healthy life. There is just one small suggestion: I hope Dr. Yogesh can be a little more friendly with patients ☺️ —

I had a wonderful experience at my most recent visit with Dr. Salvia at Dr Benn’s surgery. My baby had been unwell, and the clinic was able to see us quickly, which was such a relief. Dr. Salvia was calm, reassuring, and incredibly thorough. She took the time to check everything carefully and explain what was going on in a way that eased all my worries. Her kindness and gentle approach made my baby feel comfortable, and I left feeling confident and supported. I’m so grateful for her prompt attention and the genuine care she always shows. I couldn’t ask for a better GP service.

I saw Mr Meneown, on a follow up consultation, after recent tests. I was extremely happy with how he explained everything to me in a gentle, thorough way.

I felt at ease during our consultations. I would recommended Mr Meneown to my friends and family. Thank you for taking good care of me during my tests etc. It was very much appreciated. Kind regards Hilary

I have been coming for a few years now and have always been happy. However yesterday you had a receptionist that I have not met before who I found to be very abrupt, rude and unhelpful. She told me that I could not book a 4pm appointment as you don't do this. However I have always had a 4pm appointment. She said that she would book me for 4pm, but said that the clinic may be closed and I may not be seen. I usually deal with a very lovely lady called Michaela and this has never been an issue.

Mr Jonathan Britto

Plastic Surgeon

My deep plane & neck lift has been a huge success! Exactly what I asked for. Looks super natural just without the saggy skin and wrinkles. But my face remains exactly the same, just younger. Post op was very easy and I was back to normal life after just two weeks. 6 weeks on and I’m thrilled with the result. Best thing I ever did.

Professor Melvin Lobo

General (Internal) Medicine

He listened to every question I had and made me feel seen. He actually believed what I was saying and was very kind the entire time. He is amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone that doesn't seem to get any answers from anywhere else. He is also very educated and has been the biggest help for me on my health journey.

Visit was great. Nurse was very friendly, explained everything very thoroughly. The only thing I can say is the waiting room which was a bit overcrowded as it seemed like there was a person who had an appointment and had at least 5 more person escorting. I think this should not be allowed. One escort for a patient is fine.

Dr Jagrati Acharya

General Practitioner

Dr. Jagrati provided me excellent service. She did a very good job at explaining everything and answering all my questions. She provided additional tips on maintaining my health. Her bedside manners are notable, and she made me feel very comfortable during all the tests. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr Moses Batwala

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I actually interacted with Dr Batwala for an urgent private prescription and his service far exceeded my expectations. He was friendly, responsive and efficient in insuring that my ongoing treatment could continue in spite of the problems I found myself with. 100% would recommend him for his expertise.

Mr Laxmikant Chaudhari

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

It was an emergency procedure that was accommodated as a short notice request due to cancer diagnosis. The procedure was required before chemo could proceeded. The consultant was very accommodating, fitting me in to his next surgery urgently. The procedure was very professional, swift and successful.
