Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

A bad first impression: I arrived as requested at 7:30 to find no staff in Reception and the whole area in darkness! After about 10 , mins a nurse arrived to take us through to the ward. I had been told by the nurse on the phone doing the pre-op check that I was first on the list. However on the day I was told I was 6th, but suspect there were more than 5 people in front of me, as I was not taken downstairs for the procedure until 1about 11:30.. The problem for me was that I was very nervous and the unexpected delay made me very anxious. During my time in Room 19 the male nurse (?) looking after me did an excellent job, trying to reassure me as well as doing all the necessary preparation. Once I got to the operating theatre everyone was pleasant, efficient and friendly, The sedation was effective and the experience much less unpleasant that the retinal tear repair I had had at Moorfields about 10 years ago. I am now in a much better state to face the procedure on the 2nd eve in a few days time.

New Forest Psychiatry

Psychiatry

The appointment itself was very positive. Dr. Robert Gordon was calm, validating, and genuinely listened. The room was quiet, warm, and set up like a cosy study, which made it feel safe rather than clinical. He explained the diagnostic impressions clearly at the end in a way that finally made sense, and it didn’t feel dismissive. I left feeling understood in a way I haven’t experienced with other services, although the level of positivity felt unexpected and left me a bit uncertain about how to interpret it. The only issue was the arrival process. My appointment was in the late evening, and reception was closed. It wasn’t clear where to check in, and I had no phone signal. I had to rely on Wi-Fi and the website photos to work out where to wait. Overall, despite the initial uncertainty about the building, the clinical experience was extremely positive. Everything went smoothly, and the assessment itself was very professional.

Mr Simon Withey

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Withey was recommended to me by a very experienced beauty therapist. I consulted him privately following a bad fall against a door frame which caused me to cut a deep gash above my eye. Following emergency stitching at A&E at my local NHS hospital I was left with thick and unsightly scarring on my face and unable to use one side of my facial muscle. My Withey performed surgery - finding chips of paint buried in the wound. After normal initial bruising, the wound healed very quickly and the scarring has almost vanished. 6 months later the nerves have regrown and my facial movement is normal again. I found both Mr Withey and his assistant Aleks to be extremely professional, courteous, efficient and I cannot praise his work highly enough. I would trust him to perform surgery again in the future should it ever be needed.

Essex Private Doctors

General Practice (GP)

I have been a client of the surgery for many years going back to when Johnathan Richardson set up the practice just off Wilson's Corner. I continued to use the surgery when premises were established in Shenfield. It was when I experienced heart problems some 5 years ago that I found Dr. Athreya to be particularly helpful. He offered his private cell phone number should I need help or advice at this difficult time prior to surgery. This literally proved a lifeline. I saw Dr. Athreya on 4th December this year and as usual he was able to diagnose the problem and prescribe a treatment plan. Dr Athreya is an experienced, knowledgeable practitioner and a credit to the team at EPD. He puts patients at ease and is interested in their experiences. I was sorry to hear he was leaving for I feel sure he will be sorely missed.

Dr Grace Leek

Dentist

I have been a patient of Grace’s at Hope Park Dental Practice for many many years, and our whole family has been under Grace’s truly wonderful care since she started out in South Queensferry back in the day! Grace is the most professional, knowledgeable, caring, friendliest dentist we know. She always makes us feel comfortable and truly confident in everything she says and does, she NEVER over treats us, she keeps us so well looked after. The receptionists and all Grace’s team are all extremely friendly, so lovely, and are always very supportive and polite. Myself and all my family members have ALWAYS been made to feel welcome and comfortable throughout our experiences in the practice and I would highly rate this dental practice 10/10 for excellent quality and care.

Freedom Vision - Cambridge

Ophthalmology

Impossible to speak to anyone in Cambridge which was very frustrating. am used to being seen privately and this did not come up to the usual standard. Although the staff were very polite and friendly I felt that nobody was sure what to do and did not fill me with confidence. I have never gone privately and only seen the surgeon on the day of the operation with no follow up appointment with the actual surgeon. I was left with a cut on the skin to the left of my eye and an indentation across my eyebrow which I feel had probably been caused by the clamp used to keep my eyelid open. I was left feeling that for some reason the private sector in Cambridge was struggling. A great pity.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

My overall experience was excellent. However when I got home I found I wasn't completely sure/ had forgotten exactly when and how to take all the medicines I was given and when to stop e.g. how slowly to reduce the codeine when I didn't need it any more. Clearly printed instructions to take home would have been reassuring straight away and later. I know I could have rung the Horder Centre any time for advice but at 82 years old my hearing is less than perfect and I worry I shall not remember everything I hear afterwards. The Horder hip replacement book is excellent and is still a constant source of referral and encouragement.

Extremely impressive level of care. My husband arrived for a scheduled appointment with our two daughters. The little one did not have an appointment, but had felt unwell during the night. The staff were able to see her and treat her immediately. She would otherwise have had a very difficult time of it, and we were incredibly grateful for their care and attention. Amazing staff (Daniela, Semi) and doctors!!! Doctor Liong Mee Hi was wonderful with our daughter, prescribing the right mix of things to help get her back on track immediately. Very impressive!

Mr Iqbal was very kind and professional and i was very comfortable with him operating on my eyes.The procedure was explained in detail, it was recommended that I researched and thought about the eye surgery that we have discussed. I had 2 appointments with Mr Iqbal before surgery. Hospital staff were very helpful and I felt very well cared for after my operation. I would highly recommend Mr Iqbal and very much appreciated his work and thank him so much. I'm truly delighted with my eyes.

Dr Tapesh Pakrashi

Cardiologist

I had reviewed the descriptions of many cardiologists before I decided that Dr. Pakrashi seemed my best choice. I have no regrets at all having now consulted him twice, those consultations a year apart. On both occasions I found Dr. Pakrashi extremely easy to engage with. His close attention and care for me seemed exemplary, and I found these traits highly reassuring. I would unreservedly recommend Dr. Pakrashi to anyone seeking an experienced and expert cardiologist.

Dr Carla Plymen

Cardiologist

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Plymen, and I was very impressed with the level of care I received. Dr. Plymen took the time to explain my test results clearly, answered all of my questions without rushing, and made me feel genuinely heard. The staff was professional and friendly, and the entire visit felt organized and efficient. I left feeling reassured and confident in my care plan. Thank you for providing such compassionate, thorough cardiac care.

Mr Jae Rhee

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Extremely grateful to Dr Rhee for carrying out the operation on my rotator cuff repair and through his guidance and my exercise regime I have gained full mobility again and very minimal discomfort which will fade over time as I rebuild my shoulder muscles strength. As far as I am concerned I have received nothing less than a first class service and experience. Thank you for your skill as a surgeon and fixing my long standing shoulder issue.

Grace waudby took my initial assessment on a video link she took her time and explained every and asked about everything. The assignment was supposed to be 30mins it took longer. When I went in for the viscual assessment she came and introduced herself again. Which was nice she did but never had too. That show me that she is very thoughtful and caring about my journey though this hard process thank you grace all the best in your future

Dr. Ksenia Alex

Dr. Alex is a truly outstanding doctor, She's very attentive, a great listener, and extremely detail-oriented. She takes the time to understand the patient’s concerns and genuinely shows interest in finding the best treatment for the problem. I felt heard, respected, and well cared for throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy specialist.

Everything have been explained perfectly from the first appointment to the procedure itself. Quick recovery and great success. She is actually getting her life back . 4 weeks later walking independently enjoying activities . Thank you so much DR and the team for souping us through out.

Dr. Sangeetha Devarajan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I could not be happier with the treatment I received from Dr Devarajan and her team. I was pretty nervous about the procedures I was due to have, and her calm explanation and bedside manner put me at ease. There was some manageable discomfort but by understanding and reassuring me, it really did make a difference. She was friendly and professional. Thank you.
