Dr. James Noake is not only a phenomenal doctor but also a truly exceptional person. His clinical expertise, commitment, and compassion enabled me to achieve something that had once felt impossible, and I will be forever grateful for his care. I had been training for seven months to take on a double marathon in memory of my brother, who tragically took his own life just over a year ago. The run meant everything to me — not just as a personal challenge, but as a way to honour him and raise money for The Hunchman Trust, a charity that supports young people navigating grief, especially after suicide. By the time race day was in sight, I had already raised £28,000, and the weight of expectation — from myself and from those supporting me — felt enormous. Seventeen days before the event, disaster struck. I was injured, and despite visits to a physio, I was in terrible shape. With less than two weeks to go, I was convinced my dream was over. It was then that my physio referred me to Dr. James Noake, who, upon hearing my story, went to great lengths to fit me into his schedule. My case was complicated. I had an inflamed Kager’s fat pad and a trapped sural nerve, problems made even harder to diagnose because of a previous ankle reconstruction back in 2019. Where others had struggled, Dr. Noake immediately identified the issue. The very next morning, he came in early to give me the treatment and injections I desperately needed. What happened next felt nothing short of remarkable. Days earlier I had been ready to give up, certain I’d have to withdraw from the race. Instead, with Dr. Noake’s expertise and guidance, I was not only able to start but to finish the double marathon. Throughout the event, he made himself available, checking in, offering advice, and guiding me on what I could and couldn’t do to protect myself. Thanks to him, I was able to cross that finish line and, more importantly, honour my brother’s memory in the way I had hoped.

Dr Animesh Singh

Rheumatologist

I can’t recommend Dr Singh highly enough. Both my husband and I have been under their care for different conditions,myself for Fibromyalgia and my husband for Polymyalgia Rheumatica, and the support we’ve received has been exceptional. From the very first appointments, Dr Singh took the time to listen carefully to our symptoms and concerns. He approached each of our cases with compassion, patience, and deep expertise. In my case, he has helped me to navigate the complexities of Fibromyalgia, offering not only a clear diagnosis but also a comprehensive treatment plan that included both medical and lifestyle recommendations. For my husband who had been very unwell, Dr Singh quickly recognized the signs of Polymyalgia Rheumatica and started an effective treatment that brought him relief within days. What truly sets Dr Singh apart is their holistic and empathetic approach. He never made us feel rushed or dismissed, which is unfortunately common with chronic conditions. Instead, we felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Thanks to Dr Singh both my husband and I are managing our conditions so much better and have regained a sense of control and quality of life. We’re deeply grateful and would recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate rheumatologist.

Mr (Barry) Shaun O'Brien

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr. O'Brien had been recommend to me by another medical professional whose judgement I trusted. As a nervous patient I met with Mr. O'Brien, who instantly put me at ease. Mr. O'Brien listened to the issues I was having with both of my knees and gave me a full and thorough examination. We discussed best options and he sympathetically explained the procedure to me, in terms a non-medical person could easily understand. On the day of my first full knee replacement I wanted to "run away" but again he alleviated my fears. The operation proved to be a success. Mr. O'Brien visited me later in the day, post my operation, which I found a very kind thing to do. My follow up appointment, six weeks later was also very re-assuring. Following my recent second full knee replacement, this amazing treatment was replicated. The entire group of professionals involved in my treatment were all tremendous, they worked as a team offering excellent care whilst I was being treated by Mr. O'Brien's. I cannot personally thank him enough and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in the future. THANKS

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

In theatre, I had to say I couldn’t open my eyes fully as the plastic covering placed over my eyes was rucked and digging into my previously operated rt. eye.. This was then corrected. A large amount of iodine was instilled to my left eye ( later discovered it was all in my hair ), and I said it felt so painful that I was sure my eye was not anaesthetised. I was then told I would have lots more anaesthetic drops which I believe happened. But I felt the eye speculum being put in and the sensation, not pain, of a tiny curved cut to the nose side of my eyes and then the sensation moved to the opposite side of my eye , where I had a sort of digging sensation, no pain, for a couple of seconds. No further discomforts or sensations felt, just extreme relief to be over the ordeal. However good communication throughout and attention paid to what I was experiencing. My eye was completely comfortable afterwards and my recovery was first class for which I am most grateful.

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

We feel so fortunate to have been able to have our daughter delivered at the Portland Hospital. Our room, the food, the care, everything was exceptional. Most of all we are grateful to the incredible midwives, who looked after us with such warmth and patience. We felt so safe in the knowledge that one of these incredible women was there around the clock to look after us and guide us through the early days and hours of our journey into parenthood. The various healthcare professionals (paediatrician, physio, lactation consultant, pharmacist) as well as the registrar who came to see us were all exceptional individuals too and it was incredibly helpful to be seen by all of them during our hospital stay. A special thank you goes to Pat, our amazing midwife, who accompanied us on the day of our birth. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful midwife to be with us on this incredible journey.

ARMD Clinic

Ophthalmology

I have recently had a course of Low Level Light Therapy for my Macular Dry Eye condition with Mr Yodaiken at his Dry Eye Clinic in Salford. Booking process is excellent via his very efficient and friendly PA and appointments take place precisely on time. Mr Yodaiken explained everything in great detail prior to my treatment starting that involved an OCT Scan followed with twice weekly sessions for 4 weeks that are completely non invasive. A follow up consultation took place recently, 8 weeks after the final session along with a further OCT Scan for before and after comparison and results. The treatment has been extremely successful and the damaged macular has shown significant improvement in both of my eyes. I am pleased to very highly recommend Mr Yodaiken and upon his sound advice will continue to return for more LLLT in 9 months. Eyes are precious and the cost is well worth it.

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Allergy Medicine, Breast Surgery, + 31 more

I have been struggling with uterine fibroids that cause severe pain and heavy bleeding, which has had a big impact on my quality of life. From my first appointment, Dr Woodhead was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and thorough. She listened carefully to my concerns, explained my options clearly, and never made me feel rushed. Her calm and professional manner helped me feel reassured during a very difficult time, and I finally felt that my symptoms were being taken seriously. The whole team at MUMS were welcoming and supportive, and the clinic itself is clean and efficient. I am so grateful to Dr Woodhead for her care and expertise, and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking gynaecological support.

Mr David Houlihan-Burne

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From initial consultation, the robotic assisted total knee replacement surgery, through to Mr Houlihan-Burne personally removing the staples and reviewing the result, the interaction has been exceptional. Mr Houlihan-Burne was clear in communicating the state of my knee, quick to understand what I was looking for, to explain what he thought could be the outcome - together with the risks, and post op in explaining that the surgery has gone exactly as planned. I have not had to deal with any substantial pain, and I have a clear rehab plan with his recommended Physio. I feel confident that I will be able to play Golf, tennis and ski in relatively short order, provided I follow the rehab plan diligently.

Dr Kush Joshi

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I went in recently with a hamstring injury and had an ultrasound done by Dr Joshi. I have to say the whole experience was really positive. The staff were friendly and made me feel comfortable as soon as I arrived, which helped a lot since I was a bit nervous. Dr Joshi was fantastic he took the time to explain what he was doing during the scan and answered all my questions in a way that was easy to understand. He was kind, patient and very thorough, which gave me a lot of confidence in the care I was receiving. I left feeling reassured and well looked after. I really appreciate the professionalism and kindness from both Dr Joshi and the team, and I’d happily recommend them to anyone needing treatment.

Mr Shilpith Shetty

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shetty and his team provided me with an outstanding package of care, right from preoperative advice and assessment through to the day of surgery and then post operative care and physio follow-up. Mr Shetty is highly skilled surgeon who manages to develop a fantastic relationship with his patients, providing specialist advice, reassurance and empathy throughout. I am a keen walker and cyclist and his hip replacement for me has truly transformed my life, from living with constant pain and being unable to sleep to now, just 10 weeks post surgery, being able to walk 6+ miles through the New Forest feeling pain free and strong. Thank you, Mr Shetty and all the team at Nuffield Wessex

Dr Shiri Lejay

Paediatrician

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shiri. She was always reassuring and available to give us advice seven days a week whenever we had doubts. Her support was especially important in the early days with our new baby, when we had so many questions and needed guidance. Dr. Shiri also visited us at home, which always made a huge difference, as we believe that our baby felt much more relaxed being examined in a familiar environment rather than a clinic. All of our appointments with her have been excellent, and she has consistently advised us on the best course of action for our baby’s health and wellbeing. We are very grateful for her care and dedication.

Let's Go Physio

Neurology, Orthotics, + 3 more

Claire Sewter's speedy visit and diagnosis was reassuring and clearly highly professional. She was highly knowledgeable and provided really practical advice and support. I have followed the recommended programme carefully and left feedback or email responses that Claire has followed up regularly. The stretches and exercises that were given, have helped me to improve and recover my physical condition, quickly, and after 4 weeks I am feeling a lot stronger, and better overall. As this was the 3rd time I have approached Let's Go Physio for help - with different injuries - I can recommend them unreservedly - and have done so already with a few people.

Montrose Health Group

Psychiatry, Psychology, + 1 more

I went in to Montrose after struggling with the group situations and the mix with male and female. I felt the experience of being able to share my deepest darkest secrets one to one was extremely therapeutic. The therapy I got was second to none and the food was cooked fresh each day with my one to one member of staff. Having lived with food intolerances my whole life the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating to my dietary needs. All in all a tough experience but the chance for me to grow emotionally was successful. All in all I’m a satisfied customer and would highly recommend. Thanks again team. 🙏

Viva Health Laboratories

Diagnostics & Testing, Nutrition

I’ve always found the team at Viva Health Laboratories to be approachable and genuinely willing to help whenever needed. They are flexible in their approach and provide a very personalised service, which makes a big difference compared to larger providers where that personal touch can sometimes be missing. Their infrastructure has also improved considerably in recent years, and from the standpoint of processing blood tests and results, there are no issues at all. What stands out most for me is their flexibility and the individual care they bring to their clients, it really sets them apart.

Dr. Majeed Jawad

Paediatrician

We have seen Dr. Jawad for both of our boys over the last few years, and I have never met a doctor as kind and professional with children. My eldest son has always been very scared of doctors, but Dr. Jawad made him feel completely comfortable — it was the first time I had ever seen my son so at ease during an appointment. Dr. Jawad always takes his time, carries out a thorough check-up, and treats the children with such care and respect. Honestly, he is the best doctor we have ever seen, and we are so grateful for the way he looks after our boys.

Dr. Vinnie Nambisan

Palliative Care Doctor

Dr. Nambisan demonstrated exceptional compassion, patience, and professionalism. Doctor was able to balance medical expertise with genuine empathy. He took the time to explain every option clearly and respectfully, always ensuring the values and wishes were honoured. The first meeting itself gave the confidence that he'll always be available to answer our questions, no matter how small. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nambisan to anyone seeking compassionate, thoughtful, and skilled palliative care.
