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.

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Mr Christopher Hemmerdinger

Ophthalmologist

I had worried previously about the need for this procedure, not knowing the risks and outcomes. However, the online information provided ahead of the procedure was detailed and comprehensive, so I knew exactly what to expect. I have known Mr Hemmerdinger for many years, and had confidence in his ability, so I was not at all worried on the day. He gave me so much time to reconsider and mentally prepare, that I worried about holding up his other patients! I really appreciated this. The procedure was not in the least daunting. It seemed to me like paintballing, with flashes of green light. There was no discomfort, apart from a headache from the pilocarpine drops administered in advance, and blurred vision for a while. I waited after the procedure for half an hour to allow time for recovery, after which the eye pressure had reduced. I was particularly reassured by access to the online advice again later, to double check what I should know, and to note and follow up any queries. My only query was promptly answered by email. In all, this was a very positive experience. I wait to learn whether the procedure was effective, but have no qualms now about repeating it in the future, if necessary.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

Needed a routine hernia operation, didn't want to wait 4–6 months, chose Royal Free Private Patients based on surgeon's online profile and because profits go to NHS; also I have been an NHS patient at RF. Was seen quickly for initial consultation and got surgery appointment when I wanted it. Mr Iype did a tidy job of the surgery, I am now recuperating with no complications so far and very little pain. Anaesthetists were friendly and efficient, and Severo my nurse in my ward was helpful, reassuring and friendly. I had a ward room to myself, which my wife could stay in while I had the surgery. It was clean and roomy, though a little cold – take extra blankets. The lunch I was given after surgery was pretty good, and they were able to get a sandwich for my wife too as well as teas and coffees. All in all, went very well.

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.

Lucio Health

Dr Hari and the team are truly amazing and we couldn’t imagine our journey without them at every step of the way. Their level of service is unparalleled, cancer throws you curve balls constantly and at random times and we’ve been desperate for expert advice and I always get a reply promptly and even out of hours. We wanted to add in re purposed meds to our chemo regime with someone guiding us for safety and not following random internet protocols. Highly recommending Dr Hari and Lucio Health doesn’t even get near to the feelings I have for this team. Simply outstanding.

Santis Health - Prostate Cancer Clinic

Urology

Prof Chris Eden was all that I had been led to believe, understanding and sympathetic but wholly focused and professional. He explained the process and outlined the risks of the proposed surgery in clear layman's language that I could understand.. He did not sugar the pill! He carefully reviewed my medical history and identified several issues upon which he has requested additional investigation. I came away totally confident not only in his personal ability but also in the decisions that I have now made regarding my treatment plan. First impressions are very good.

The Forbes Clinic

I had an online meeting with Gayle which was really helpful, much more relaxed than expected whilst including an in-depth exploration of my test results, health issues, and their timeline and effects on my life. Gayle is polite, respectful, understanding, and easy to talk to, as well as thorough and interested to understand and create a full picture. She’s very knowledgeable in a range of areas and made various links between results and possible causes. I look forward to continuing my health improvement with her support.

Professor Christopher Eden

Urologist

I'd initially come across Professor Eden via the Prostate Matters website where in a video he explained in detail the radical prostectamy procedure. Upon further research I found out he was a leader in the field for this surgery and employed the latest techniques such as reitzus sparing and Neurosafe. My consultation with Professor Eden confirmed this surgery was the best route for me and helped put my mind at ease. Professor Eden helped answer and questions and concerns I had and I subsequently booked surgery with him.

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Sonography, Pain Management, + 37 more

We paid £240 to the consultant and gained no extra knowledge or benefit. She basically couldn’t help because she said I needed fertility and not recurrent miscarriage. She said there was a fertility consultant there I should have booked with. Then why not offer to not charge me and book me with right person? Isn’t that what healthcare should be about rather than about taking my money? There is no triage service in place to make sure I got the right appointment. I feel robbed at a time where I am vulnerable.

Mr Robert H Taylor

Ophthalmologist

Mr Taylor has been my son’s ophthalmologist since he was 8 weeks old. He has always given me very clear explanations regarding my son’s vision and the possible complications surrounding it. He’s always kind and compassionate and really listens when I’m explaining what I see at home. My sons vision is particularly complex due to multiple disabilities which makes everything that bit harder, but Mr Taylor always goes above and beyond to do what he can, within the parameters of my sons capability.

Mrs Ami Shukla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I'm very pleased with my recent visit as Mrs Shukla is a very nice, calm and pleasant person who made me feel comfortable. She has explained my condition very well and offered different treatment options. Everything was clear and she answered all my questions making me feel reassured that my issue can be treated. Her assistant Nina was also very professional and friendly, especially during the scan. Everything was done with a high standard and professionalism.

Mr Hooman Sherafat

Ophthalmologist

I found Mr. Sherafat to be very confident that he could help me with my vision problems and he took a lot of time to ensure that the correct prescription went into both of my eyes and the results are exactly what I needed them to be. He talked me through all the possible scenarios and I never felt pressured into having the procedures carried out and he waited until I was happy to proceed. I am absolutely thrilled at the outcome.

Mr Andrew Skyrme

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Skyrme is very friendly and put me at ease at my first consultation. He explained what was wrong and how it could be fixed with surgery. Having now had the surgery, I am very impressed with the rate at which I have healed and the absence of the pain I had before. I am also surprised at the relatively small incision…..only 4.5 inches long and as I had no stitches, it is just a smooth line which will fade in time.

Dr Serge Nikolic

Pain Management Specialist

Serge is an excellent professional from what I have experienced. No, he does not have a good bedside manner, but he is a great consultant. I take the latter over the former. He is very to the point and my first consultation with him took 17 minutes which included an examination. If you are fragile and want a sympathetic ear, he's not your man. If you want a great professional, don't hesitate.
