Mr Sid Goel

Ophthalmologist

Overall, the journey for this process was simple. An initial visit to see what my eye sight was like and what procedures were available to me. I believe due to job related issues that I had to have LASEK. An appointment date was set up to have the procedure done. On the day. I arrived at location in HRI and was kindly directed by staff members to a closed off area of the wing where the equipment was, I was met by Mr Goel and two nurses who went over the procedure with again and explained everything that was going to happen in a simple way. The procedure itself took about 15 minutes and most of that was waiting for numbing drops to work. I didn’t feel a think when the actual procedure took place. After the procedure I have had multiple check ups, some with some hiccups due to the medication that was prescribed after but that was due to how my eyes were reacting to them. Steroid drops caused pressure issues in my eyes. After stopping using them I had no problems at all. I was off work for about a month with LASEK, although again, given a different job role could have probably gone back to work sooner. I’m now 6 months post surgery and my last eye check and appointment revealed that I have better than 20/20 vision now. Which I am buzzing about. The only issue I have with is some glare In the evening from car lights, but before the procedure I was informed that this is a minor side effect of it and tbh, I can deal with it and it very minor. Overall, Mr Goel and his assistant have been friendly, kind and extremely knowledgeable in there field of work. I spent some time before the procedure mulling over different options but I can happily say that Mr Goel was the correct option. If you have any doubt about who to chose for this eye procedure / surgery. I would 100% recommend Mr Goel.

Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

Mr Pranai Buddhdev

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We were extremely pleased that we made the choice to visit Mr Buddhdev, following a diagnosis of scoliosis for my daughter. From the beginning, his team were efficient, personable and kind. In the consultation, he was friendly and genuinely interested in my daughter's life, putting her at ease. While he examined her, he clearly explained what he was looking for, how her condition might show, and what further x-ray tests would be needed. The tests were conducted immediately, which was reassuring. We were then seen again to explain the results. Clearly, he has sophisticated specialist software to review the data. As a result he recommended that an additional MRI would be required. This was rushed through onsite for maximum speed. After the consultation, he swiftly followed up with a detailed letter and helpful phone call to talk through next steps in treatment. He has recommended a specialist to use to treat the condition, with direct explanations on how this can improve outcomes. I cannot thank him and his colleagues enough for their professionalism and kindness throughout this process. If only all medical services were like this.

Mr Julian Pavier

Podiatrist

I recently underwent an ankle operation with Mr Pavier, and my experience throughout the entire process was fast, smooth, and reassuring. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, and provided clear explanations at every stage. I couldn’t be more pleased with how efficiently my case was managed. I was treated as a day-case patient and recovered quickly. It has now been just over two months since my operation, and I was already walking comfortably well before that. The procedure was modern and minimally invasive, resulting in a small wound, a shorter healing time, and the ability to walk without crutches in less than a month. Although I am a patient at Lincoln Hospital, I was given the option to attend a nearby hospital in Nottingham to speed up the operation, which was extremely helpful. The facilities were clean and modern, and the staffs were very welcoming. Thanks to the excellent care I received, my ankle is healing very well, and I am excited to return to my normal daily activities and resume sports without discomfort.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

The appointment and staff were great but please please please sort out the signage to your section of the hospital. I arrived at the QEQM an hour before my appointment as I knew parking at that time would be a nightmare. I was still trying to park 15 minutes before my appointment. I had to leave my car in a side road and hope it was a restricted area. I had to run from me side of the hospital to the other and no where on any map or sign was there anything saying where the Spencer hospital was. I eventually found the main reception who had to give me directions. I found the part I needed by pure chance. I arrived 4 minutes after my appointment time. This is the 3rd Spencer hospital I have visited within 5 weeks. It was the same story at K and C with no signs. WHH was the only one that had signage where I could find where I needed to go easily but again not listed on the main hospital maps.

Dr Runa Ali

Consultant Allergist

Being a medical doctor myself, I am able to really appreciate the presence of a kind and empathetic doctor so much more when I find myself at the patient end of a consultation. Dr Ali has previously treated me very successfully over 10 years ago for my very severe hay fever with desensitisation therapy. Understandably, after such a long period of time, there has been some mild recurrence of my symptoms and I was able to get more incredibly helpful advice from Dr Ali again on how to manage this. She is very thorough in her approach and listens carefully to all of your symptoms whilst checking in along the way. She is also very good in helping you weigh up several options whilst letting you decide on which way forward would work best for you. I would strongly recommend Dr Ali to anyone with significant allergies.

Mr George Spink

Neurosurgeon

I had a PLIF operation with additional decompression by neurosurgeon George Spink at Spire Anlaby .. Autumn 2025. George was professional throughout the whole process. I had plenty of unpressured opportunities to ask questions and recieved clear answers without too much medical jargon. This gave me confidence in Mr Spinks long experience for what was a major surgery with good explanation of the risks involved. Following the operation whilst in recovery Mr Spink took time to talk personally with my wife and reassure her the procedure went well. The operation was very successful and I mobilised the next day. In my experience the Spire Anlaby (Hull) hospital team can be trusted to provide a very professional service. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend George for complex spinal procedures.

Mr Jonathan Britto

Plastic Surgeon

I’m still in early stage of recovery. The attention from Dr Britto brings a lot of reassurance that everything is according to the plan. It is my second attempt to sort out the problem with sagging skin of the lower part of my face and I can clearly see the difference: with Dr Britto I had three (!) pre-op consultations, which brought a lot of understanding and a very clear plan, I avoided general anaesthetic, it was a bit weird, but absolutely bearable experience, I had already had two after-op meetings, mostly to reassure me that everything is as expected and no sign of anything to worry about. More consultations have been already arranged, I feel a constant attention and I’m very pleased with it.

Dr Tanvi Bagtharia

Dentist

Although apprehensive about my surgery and the need for sedation Dr Bagtharia reduced my worries prior to the date of my dental procedure through an online face to face consultation which I found very reassuring. On the date of my surgery having met Tanvi on line, I felt little apprehension and my sedation passed without incident and I was grateful for the professionalism she showed throughout and the after care I received at the conclusion of my sedation. Although I hope I will have no further need for sedation in the future, if ever such an occasion should arise, I would have no hesitation in putting my care in the hands Dr Tanvi Bagtharia.

Mr Alistair Mayne

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr.Mayne was reassuring, explained that the procedure may entail some extra work, which in the end it didn’t and he informed me of that during the procedure! Mr. Mayne. Checked in on me on the evening of the procedure to see how so wasn’t doing and again the following morning before discharge! My sincerest thanks and gratitude to Mr. Mayne for changing my life, I can begin to live again properly, pain free, with my new hip! May Mr. Mayne go on the help thousands more people during his career! He definitely cares about his patients, and that is important.

I came in to see Urja after experiencing months of tightness in the body. I also had a chest infection a couple months before and it left me with a lot of tightness in my chest/lungs and I wasn’t able to breathe at full capacity. Immediately after my session, my body felt like it was 99% back to baseline and I could take a full deep breath again. Emotionally, I also felt so much more free and relieved. You get so much more than just physio with Urja. It’s a complete mind, body, soul healing experience.

He explained to me the treatment options and he involved me in the decision making. He was extremely helpful , kind and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!

Mr Sayal made sure I understood every step of the healing process and gave practical guidance that helped me avoid setbacks and manage my recovery safely. His follow-up checks were reassuring, and he always took the time to answer my questions with patience and genuine concern. Thanks to his thorough aftercare and compassionate approach, I felt supported every step of the way. I’m extremely grateful for the outstanding post-operative care he provided.

Having had a bad experience elsewhere, I wouldn’t go anywhere else and have been going to VB Aesthetic for many years now. . Nurse Vicky always takes her time to listen to me and the results are natural and subtle.. I highly recommended!

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

It was a wonderful surprise to meet so many warm and friendly staff at Vision Scotland. This carried forward with the skill and expertise I also met. I could not have asked for better in every regard. There followed a sincere wish to know of my progress with telephone calls that enquired about how I faired. Using Vision Scotland is one of the better choices I have made in life!

Excellent team . Everyone is so welcoming, warm and professional. Timing is perfect, all doctors, nurses and staff are wonderful. I especially would like to thank Alex Olayo, the exceptional and wonderful nurse: she was with me every step of the way to recovery. Always keen to help, warm, supportive and caring. She made it all so much easier for me.
