I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to Dr James Noake at Pure Sports Medicine for his ongoing efforts in diagnosing a long-standing misdiagnosed knee injury following several unsuccessful procedures. Dr Noake identified relevant pathology on imaging that, unfortunately, had been missed by several other private consultants elsewhere. He then carefully administered a diagnostic injection, taking considerable time to ensure pinpoint precision through a cyst and a very small joint space. Dr Noake is clearly a very busy and sought-after clinician, yet he ensured I received an extensive first face-to-face consultation, with ample time in clinic to explore the problem thoroughly using ultrasound. He also went above and beyond by reviewing both previous and updated MRI scans, speaking to me at short notice via Zoom call during the festive period in order to review images and discuss options. I found this attention to detail and direct liaison to be exceptional as more than once I have had to wait 6-weeks between appointments at other private clinics or hospitals. Dr Noake is clearly dedicated to his craft and approaches his work with diligence, precision, and honesty. From the first point of contact, he inspired confidence through his willingness to answer questions, think critically beyond the obvious, and work collaboratively to reach informed decisions. I would highly recommend Dr Noake to anyone seeking help with complex, long-standing, or less common knee or nerve-related injuries.

Miss Elaine Scott

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for Miss Elaine Scott, who has been an exceptional gynecologist and obstetrician throughout one of the most important journeys of our lives. I was under Miss Elaine Scott’s care even before pregnancy, when my husband and I were just starting to plan it. From the very beginning, she guided us with great care, clarity, and professionalism. She then managed my entire pregnancy and delivery, and on December 19th, under her calm guidance and outstanding expertise, our first child — a healthy baby boy — was safely born. Miss Elaine Scott is a true professional. From the first appointment to the moment we held our son in our arms, we felt 100% trust in her knowledge, experience, and decisions. Her approach made this journey not only safe, but also peaceful and reassuring. What could have been stressful instead became a beautiful, calm experience that lasted more than a year — all thanks to her attentive and compassionate care. I would also like to warmly mention her assistant Lucia, who was equally attentive, friendly, responsive, and always ready to answer any questions. Her support and positive attitude made every interaction even more pleasant. If we are blessed to have another child in the future, there is absolutely no doubt — we would choose Miss Elaine Scott again without hesitation. This was a truly wonderful journey in the most caring and professional hands. Highly recommended from the bottom of our hearts.

Mr Anthony Antoniou

General Surgeon

My wife and I live in Nottinghamshire and I was referred urgently to Mr Antoniou at St Marks under the National Referral Scheme, as none of the Colorectal Consultants in the Midlands had experience of my problem or in treating it. We only waited a short time for the appointment and travelled down to London. Mr Antoniou called us into the consulting room personally and his warmth and demeanour immediately gave us total confidence in him and we knew I was in expert hands. He took time to explain the issue in detail and the proposed surgical procedure which we then discussed. Crucially, we were part of the discussion as opposed to be spoken at, which we were very grateful for. Two weeks later I was admitted to St Marks and went to Theatre where, again, Mr Antoniou was very pleasant and I felt at ease, despite the procedure I was about to undergo. When I awoke on the Ward post surgery, Mr Antoniou visited my wife and I and explained that all had gone well, again very reassuring. I have recently seen Mr Antoniou in Clinic for a 12 month check and, as ever, Mr Antoniou was friendly and welcoming and reassured us that all was well and that if I had future concerns, I should contact his secretary. I cannot commend or recommend Mr Antoniou highly enough for all aspects of the care and compassion he showed to my wife and I during a difficult time, especially being so far from home. We will be forever grateful.

Cleveland Clinic London

Anaesthetics, Cardiology, + 10 more

I had two excellent experiences at the Cleveland yesterday. First Norman did the most thorough and careful echocardiogram. He took endless trouble so as to give the cardiologist views of my heart and its valves from every angle and perspective. The cardiologist was most impressed and helped by all the additional information this gave him. Dr Sam Dawkins, my cardiologist told me and showed me by using these images how well the TAVI and the reduction of the septum are working as they have not only hugely improved flow through my aortic valve but also through my mitral valve. Dr Dawkins is a brilliant cardiologist and an amazing thinker. I was faced with open heart surgery to replace two valves and excision of thickened areas of heart muscle; a very risky operation with a long and maybe unsuccessful period of recovery. Dr Dawkins devised the novel procedures he carried out on me on 24/10/24. The success of this is totally down to his skill and the trouble he took. He was excellently supported by the doctors and staff of the Cleveland during the operation. I hope he is able to share the knowledge of my operation with other cardiologists so more patients can avoid open heart surgery and be given back their health the way I was. Thank you Dr Dawkins

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

After extensive research, my husband and I agreed that Vincenzo Maurino was the best person to perform our lens replacement surgery. We felt comfortable right from the initial consultation and knew we had made the right decision. Andrew was very warm and welcoming and explained everything to us clearly about appointments and payments. Mr Maurino took time to advise us on the best treatment and lenses to suit our individual needs. We were tested thoroughly by Mr Maurino’s excellent team. At no time did we feel under pressure to commit; however, we were so impressed with everything that we were anxious to book our procedures straight away. On the day of our surgeries, we arrived at Moorfields and were greeted by wonderful nurses who took great care of us. Mr Maurino talked us through the process both before and during surgery. Everything was very efficient, quick, and painless. We have no hesitation in recommending Mr Maurino and staff; in fact, we have already passed on Mr Maurino’s details to friends and family who are now looking to book. A massive thank you to the whole team for an excellent service. We are delighted and grateful for the life-changing experience and having 20/20 vision for the first time in our lives.

Mr Michael Wilson

General Surgeon

Suffered with gallstones 5 weeks after having my baby, longest with NHS wasn’t ideal for me being a new mum let alone the anxiety of having another gallbladder attack. I booked a consultation at Nuffield for another surgeon originally and I made an error with my dates, by chance Michael had a free appointment the following day ( fate) Booked , attended consultation . Michael was lovely , uofront , honest and very to the point. surgery planned for 18th December ( 3 weeks from consultation ) I was so nervous about the surgery but meeting with Michael on the morning of , he was relaxed , very calming and made me feel at ease. Before I knew it I was back in my room and home by 8pm the same evening. Recovery has been great and had my post op catch up today. Michael you are a wonderful surgeon and your personal relationship with your patients is second to none from following up personally after surgery to putting a very anxious person at ease. I had the best treatment and aftercare from you and would recommend you to anyone having any issues. Thank you so much for everything but most of all getting me back to myself. Kimberley

Mr Irshad Shaikh

General Surgeon

I recently had an operation performed by Professor Shaikh. In the lead up, I had several discussions with him about the way forward; he was highly professional and very helpful. He explained the options to me very carefully, he gave advice and allowed time for me to ask questions which he answered fully. However, I was over weight and he explained very carefully the risks posed in surgery by the extra weight I was carrying. We decided a way forward together; we set a date for the operation, allowing time for me to lose some weight. I was very grateful to him for providing me with a clear focus and for his encouragement. By the date of the operation, I had lost a substantial amount of weight and the operation was performed successfully. I have a great deal to thank Professor Shaikh for - in addition to his surgical expertise, I am grateful for his advice, encouragement and support. I have the utmost confidence in him and I have no hesitation in recommending him, unreservedly.

Dr. Hal Brindley

Gastroenterologist

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional and comprehensive care I received throughout my diagnosis and recovery from Hepatitis A. From the initial appointment to my final follow up visit, where I received the welcome news that all my liver function tests had returned to normal, the communication was consistently clear, thorough, and empathetic. Every question I had was answered patiently, each test result was explained in detail, and I was given practical guidance at every stage, which made me feel fully supported and confident in my treatment. The entire process was seamlessly coordinated, and the professional yet compassionate approach truly made a difficult health journey manageable. I have made a full recovery and would highly recommend this practice without reservation.

Mr Raj Nigam

Urologist

I underwent a circumcision procedure after being diagnosed with a medical condition. Mr Nigam and his secretary Jessica were brilliant from the very first email response right the way through to my final review. All my questions were answered promptly and the whole process was managed in a really efficient, dignified and professional manner. My initial consult was arranged within 48 hours of my first enquiry email, and after informing the team that managing this was time sensitive, my treatment was booked within 10 days. I was really well prepared for what to expect and the post-op phase, and truly found that there was little/no discomfort. I'd 100% recommend Mr Nigam and Jessica for anyone in need of his expertise!

Essex Private GP

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Diagnostics & Testing, + 2 more

After a mole on my shoulder began to grow, I booked a private consultation with a specialist who had removed others by Crotherapy. He told me that he could only do it after the infection which had caused it to change, had been cured and prescribed a course of antibiotics. The infection increased after several courses of six different antibiotics which were prescribed by my NHS practice were not able to halt its progress. My daughter Annie convinced me to book an appointment at Essex Private GP. I was seen on the same day and the correct antibiotics to target the infection were identified and prescribed at my first visit. There is already a significant improvement, thank you.

Mr Quen Tang

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I came off my bicycle in London and after visiting West Middx A&E i was referred to Mr Quen Tang. I had fractured my shoulder ball joint in 3 places. I met with Mr Quen Tang a few days later and his explanation of my injuries and what they would try to do to fix it was very clear and concise. I was operated on the next day. He was going to try to screw it but he felt the bone was to thin and so would probably end up replacing the ball joint (this is what they did in the end). From start to finish i was very impressed with Mr Quen Tang and his team. Made me feel very at ease and now I'm on the road to recovery. Thank You !! I would certainly recommend him for shoulder injuries.

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

I had an excellent experience under the care of Consultant Divya Mathews. She performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes with outstanding skill and precision. From the first consultation through to post-operative care, she was calm, reassuring, and very clear in her explanations, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. The results have been excellent, and my vision has improved significantly beyond my expectations. I am truly grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional eye care.

Professor George Du Toit

Consultant Allergist, Paediatrician

We had a very difficult worry this week with our 8 year old son experiencing gastro intestinal symptoms that he does not normally experience with his food allergies. We were given an appointment very fast with Professor du Toit. He answered our questions, gave us his expert opinion on how we should treat these symptoms and what our options are in this very worrying situation. We fell reassured by speaking to him. We’ve worked with Professor du Toit since 2019. We trust his opinion and judgment. We feel extremely fortunate to have him at our side in our son’s allergy journey.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

The Deben private GP service was thoughtful and reassuring throughout. Treatment was prescribed promptly in anticipation of a potentially serious issue, with careful and attentive follow-up, and an appropriate referral arranged swiftly. The doctor listened closely, showed genuine empathy, and took time to understand how the symptoms were affecting overall wellbeing. There was no sense of being rushed, and everything was explained clearly and calmly. Overall, Deben delivered a supportive, patient-centred experience - calm, kind, and reassuring from start to finish.

Dr Duncan Birth

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I traveled from a different country to be under the care of Dr Keith Duncan and this was the best decision my husband and I made. From the very day go, Dr Duncan’s professional skills managed my pregnancy journey so well. Having had a traumatic past experience, I must say that Dr Duncan is filled with compassion and empathy. Not only is he an excellent Dr, he is an amazing human being. I would travel from miles and miles away to seek this kind of medical treatment in the future again. Thank you Dr Duncan.
