One Hatfield Hospital

Geriatric Medicine, Neurology, + 21 more

I would like to begin by acknowledging the excellent care I received from the doctors during my first visit. Both clinicians went above and beyond, and I felt genuinely supported by them. Unfortunately, this high standard was not reflected in my interactions with the reception and administrative staff. After my consultation, the doctor provided me with a ticket for my next appointment and advised that, in the meantime, I should attend the imaging department for an ultrasound. When I arrived at imaging, the staff were dismissive and informed me that, because I was an NHS patient, they would need to write to my GP for a separate referral. I explained that the doctor had instructed me to have the ultrasound the same day. The staff member responded that if I waited in reception, she would speak to the doctor, adding that “quite often they don’t know how things are done.” I waited for an hour with no update. When I approached the desk to ask for news, the staff member replied, “I’m sorry, I forgot all about you,” and said she would speak to the doctor immediately. After she finally did so, the situation changed dramatically: I was suddenly offered an ultrasound appointment for 11:30 a.m. that same day — just an hour and a half later. It was clear that once the doctor became aware of the issue, the department acted quickly and efficiently, which I appreciated, especially as I live only ten minutes away. The ultrasound itself was carried out professionally, and the doctor performing it was excellent. He explained everything clearly and asked when my next appointment was. When I told him it was scheduled for six weeks later, he advised me to return to the main reception and request an earlier appointment, as his report would be completed that same day. However, when I approached reception, I was dismissed outright and told, “Doctors make appointments six weeks in advance — it is what it is.” Additionally, there was no record of my attendance on their system, only an appointment dated 23 March 2026, which, by their own admission, belonged to a different patient entirely. On reflection, while staff may appear polite on the surface, the reality of my experience was the opposite. The inconsistency, dismissiveness, and lack of coordination created unnecessary stress and undermined the otherwise excellent clinical care I received.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Newmedica Leeds. 5* Care from start to finish. My optician at Specsavers suggested it was time to consider cataract surgery and I was offered an NHS referral to my choice of providers. I chose Newmedica Leeds and just over 2-3 weeks later had an initial consultation at Newmedica. Unfortunately my high blood pressure caused some problems and delayed the first cataract operation to my left eye, after 4-5 weeks weeks I had surgery on my first eye and 5-6 weeks later my second eye was done. Without exception all of the staff I met at Newmedica were friendly, helpful, and very caring. The consultant who carried out the procedure on both eyes (Mr. Kamran Khan) took the time to explain the procedure and answer my questions. During the procedures he was reassuring and calmly explained what was happening. Both procedures were carried out successfully and my sight is so much better now. I would like to give a big thank you to Mr Kamran Khan and his team and my Optometrist Summer Elyoussfi and her team for all the care and attention I received. I have no hesitation in recommending Newmedica Leeds.

Dr Ajikumar Kavidasan

Respiratory Doctor

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Kavidasan and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt listened to and genuinely cared for. Dr Kavidasan took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions without rushing, and was incredibly reassuring during what could have been a stressful visit. He organized the tests I needed which were swiftly done by the Imaging Department at Shirley Oaks Hospital. Thank you to the wonderful team at Shirley Oaks everything went smoothly. I left the appointment feeling calmer, more informed, and confident about my care plan. I’m very grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Kavidasan and Shirley Oaks Hospital to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy doctor and excellent service.

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I can’t recommend Dr Emily Cary highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through the early stages of perimenopause. From our very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, understood, and reassured during what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Her knowledge, calm approach, and clear explanations helped me make sense of my symptoms and feel confident about the next steps. She took the time to tailor my care to me as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Thanks to her support and guidance, I feel far more informed, supported, and positive about managing this transition. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any woman at the start of their menopause journey.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Psychiatry, Psychology

Everyone I dealt with was great overall. The experience was good aside from a couple of mistakes which then lead to long delays. One of the assessment calls didn't work and I had made time to sit through it. They did try to rectify this quickly but it still took another few weeks which after such a long time was frustrating. Sometimes when I would ring up the person who would answer would be short and I didn't feel so comfortable speaking to them. Otherwise, I would recommend this service up to diagnosis - I am yet to try the medication and services beyond here. I wish there was more the NHS or RTN could provide to offer support post diagnosis. The recommendations are useful but I would like a little more.

Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast

Vascular Surgery, Breast Surgery, + 37 more

I arrived early, as I was expecting to be seen in time, but my appointment was late ~45mins. I had discussed on the phone that I wanted to see someone who is going to be helpful with discussing menopause and other related issues. I was paying for the appointment myself, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately the time with the doctor felt rushed and I felt not heard. I had done a lot of research on holistic menopause care, and I felt that the doctor wasn’t in the same wave length with me. I was just advised to go and read more on menopause in two different websites. Examination was fine and straight forward, but to be sure of the diagnosis I will need futher procedures.

The Princess Grace Hospital Outpatients

Diagnostics & Testing, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 7 more

Pretty straightforward experience overall. The receptionist on the first floor (the Somali lady wearing a hijab) was extremely kind and helpful. My phone was about to die and I asked if there was any chance of a charger- she went out of her way to help me, which I really appreciated. It’s the small things like that which leave a lasting impression, and that’s exactly why I wanted to leave this review. The only small suggestion I’d make is having oat milk available at the coffee machine for those who don’t have dairy, it would be a thoughtful and considerate touch.

Dr Riyaz Somani

Cardiologist

I recently attended the hospital for a catheter ablation and had a very positive experience. Dr Riyaz Somani was calm, kind, and highly knowledgeable. I felt safe and confident throughout this important procedure. The treatment was completed to a very high standard, and I am now recovering well. The hospital was clean, well run, and efficient. All staff were excellent — professional, kind, and reassuring at every stage. Communication was clear from admission to discharge. I felt genuinely well cared for. I am very grateful for the high standard of care provided.

Dr. Kit Wu

Neurologist

Dr Kit Wu has been exceptional. In just three months, she has thoroughly investigated my condition and identified that my long-standing symptoms, previously diagnosed as "migraine" was actually the result of a stroke. I am now receiving the preventative treatment and clinical support that had been missing for the past few years. Dr Wu is approachable, listens carefully, is highly thorough, and has excellent clinical connections. I am extremely grateful for her professional care and expertise.

Butterfield Osteopathy

Osteopathy, Paediatrics

I've been going to Butterfield Osteopathy for several years and I've always been very grateful for their help and support. The clinic is lovely and all the osteopaths I’ve consulted with have been amazing. Bella Eacott is great for general osteopathy, Emma Delalex has helped me with craniosacral therapy and Gervais Roubeix has managed to release loads of muscular tensions with dry needling and general osteopathy. I highly recommend Butterfield Osteopathy.

Mr Zeiad El Gizawy

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr El-Gizawy not only was kind and supportive, but also was able to diagnose through the right tests, Adenomyosis as well as PMDD. After years of going through NHS and having ultrasounds that didn't show my condition, Mr El-Gizawy organised an MRI of my pelvis which proved to be extremely helpful. I am also on special medication for it which is proving to be working too. I am lucky to have found Mr El-Gizawy in a very difficult time for me.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

I visited the clinic to discuss removal of a lesion on my eyelid. Having spoken to the consultant Mt Murray I decided to have it removed. I returned two weeks later to have the surgery. All the staff were very supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure to me. In particular Jenny took great care of me and made sure I felt as relaxed as I could be. Everything went to plan and I would like to thank everybody that was involved.

Ms Jennifer Warwick

Speech and Language Therapist

Jennifer Warwick is one of those people you never want to lose once she's entered your life! She has been instrumental in the progress of our daughter's speech, not just because she is so experienced and knowledgeable, but because she truly tailors the sessions and connects with our daughter (who incidentally loves it when she has her sessions because they are so much fun!). We couldnt recommend her more.

Mr Jonathan Wright

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My son had surgery yesterday under the care of Mr. Wright. The whole team was amazing -such lovely, kind, and very skilled people. I have never experienced care and organisation like it. The whole day has left us feeling relieved and with so much optimism for a pain-free future. Thank you all, and to Mr. Wright for making this happen. I cannot express how much this means.

Professor Amtul Carmichael

General Surgeon

Professor Carmichael is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She makes you feel like you are the most important person in that moment and she really cares. She is incredibly knowledgeable, I trust her completely, and feel very safe in her hands. I would happily recommend her to friends and family. Just a genuinely wonderful human being!

Dr James Good

Oncologist

James has been brilliant. My recent visit I had the news that I was cancer free from stage 4 so as far as the appointment goes it was a great one. I had a million questions and James went through everything with me and has done throughout my whole journey. I really felt like he took his time with me. The appointment wasn’t rushed at all
