Prof. Adam Frampton

General Surgeon

Professor Frampton 'de-roofed' a large cyst growing towards the back of my liver very skilfully, using a Robot to navigate past important internal structures, excess fat, & through adhesions from past operations I've had. This resulted in minimal operative consequence to my abdomen, & to me post-operatively - meaning I awoke from the general anaesthetic without the significant pain I recall from several past 'open surgery' type operations (I was then even able to eat sandwiches, enjoy a cup of cocoa, & walk to the bathroom, before 'sleeping it off'!) I was only in hospital for 48hrs & left with just a little discomfort (from bumps in the road on the journey home), and five small glue-covered external incisions from the Robot's arms across the front of my waistline, which healed quickly. My only instructions were No Lifting for first 6wks, and to take Paracetamol & occasionally DHCodeine for some understandable right-sided abdominal tenderness. That steadily tailed off along with v.mild discomfort when hicupping/sneezing, as I healed internally whilst taking things easily (& light exercise) at home over next 12-14 days. This operation transpired to be an amazingly positive experience for which I cannot thank & recommend Professor Frampton highly enough - not only for his surgical & Robotic expertise, but also his conscientious & professional assessment of my health pre & post surgery, his reassuring explanations & his most pleasant communication personally throughout (administratively aided by his excellent PA)!

Mr Nitesh Patel

ENT Surgeon

I first saw Dr. Patel earlier this year because I had suddenly developed tinnitus. After an MRI came back clear, he diagnosed me with something he called “functional ear syndrome”, suggesting biological, psychological or social changes and vestibular migraine as the probable cause. A few months later, things deteriorated. I began experiencing severe dizziness alongside an amplified tinnitus, so I returned for a follow-up appointment. I explained that my symptoms were getting worse, but I was once again reassured it was “functional ear syndrome” and was told that CBT might help. I left feeling as though my concerns weren’t being properly heard or investigated. Because my symptoms continued to escalate, I sought a second opinion. Further tests have now revealed that I actually have sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), a condition that needs timely treatment. My hearing loss is mild to moderate and I am currently undergoing steroid treatment to try to preserve my hearing - a situation that might have been avoided or at least addressed much earlier if my symptoms had been taken more seriously in the first place. This review reflects my personal experience only. I felt dismissed and overlooked at a time when I really needed a clear and thorough medical assessment and I hope that by sharing this, others with similar symptoms are encouraged to advocate for themselves and seek additional input if something doesn’t feel right.

Mr Arvind Singh

ENT Surgeon

My mother had hospital admission for a condition that seemed to be heart/BP related. Dizziness, headaches, palpitations. However, during discussions with the hospital team they suggested an inner ear problem (having ruled out heart/BP issues). Mr. Singh had an excellent website ( https://1st-ent.com) which set out his area of expertise and experience. I filled in a simple online request and received an immediate response from his clinical administrator who was exceptional in arranging an appointment and dealing with the follow-up. We saw Mr. Singh at Bishops Wood Hospital. Mr. Singh was outstanding; he was clear in explaining in simple terms the nature of the problem, the management strategy, and what further investigations were needed and why. The primary diagnosis was vestibular migraines. The condition had caused so much worry and anxiety which made the condition harder to manage. A series of exercises were recommended. The exercises made a difference. Mr. Singh was patient, focused through the consultation and follow-up. It was so reassuring to meet him and benefit from his expertise. I highly recommend Mr. Singh.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

I was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED that the misleading named "Disabled" toilet is still used as a storage centre. I have formally complained about this to the CEO after struggling on a number of occasions to assist my elderly disabled mother. It is too cramped to get a wheelchair and carer in there. Having moved items out into the corridor I then struggled to transfer her from her wheelchair. Naturally she was getting more & more anxious to get on the toilet, knowing that she was about to see a consultant. I suggested to the anxious person outside that he ask to use another toilet. This is a private hospital, built AFTER the Disability Discrimination Act. How did this even pass building regulations & considered acceptable? All the designer had to do was to go next door & copy the design of the disabled toilet in QEQM. We were under enough stress having to attend the hospital appointment.This just compounded the stress for my mother and me. PLEASE attend to this ongoing problem. Why is it taking so long? UTTER DISGRACE & INSULTING to all disabled people and their carers.

GenesisCare Birmingham

Oncology

Upon arriving at Genesis care I was impressed by its warm, friendly and immaculate environment. The little touches like a jigsaw for patients to work on and the endless offers of coffee and biscuits were appreciated. The Staff and radiographers were incredibly professional and so very pleasant. They quickly put my mind at rest. They were really focused on making sure I was ok during the whole treatment journey. While undergoing treatment I got to meet a Penny Brohn counsellor which was very much appreciated as cancer and its treatment can be a very challenging time. Last but not least the addition of a fleet of drivers that took me to every appointment, waited for me, and drove me home was a real comfort. The drivers, like all the staff, were so friendly and chatted to me in a way that relaxed me and helped me feel calmer upon arrival. Cancer is a tough journey but everyone at Genesis Care made it much easier in so many ways. I cannot recommend the entire team, that make it work flawlessly, highly enough.

Bader Medical Institute of London

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I had an exceptional experience with my gynecologist and her entire team. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, supported, and completely at ease. Every member of the staff was warm, professional, and genuinely attentive to my concerns. Dr Maria , was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I felt comfortable at every step of the process. Her calm and reassuring approach truly made a difference. The environment of the clinic was outstanding — spotlessly clean, modern, and very well-organized. It’s clear that great care is taken to maintain a high level of hygiene and professionalism. I felt safe and confident throughout my entire visit. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. I wholeheartedly recommend this doctor and her team to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and truly caring gynecological practice.

One Ashford Hospital

Audiology, Cardiology, + 22 more

I arrived 10 minutes early and found a parking space opposite the main entrance. I reported to reception who directed me the check in where I was booked in and directed to the waiting area. Only a couple of minutes later I was called for my scan, shown where to put my belongings and then directed to the MRI scanning room. Here I was explained thoroughly what would happen and then I went into the scanner for 15-20 minutes. When I came out I was told my results would be sent to my doctor in about 2 weeks and then advised I was free to go home. I have no complaints and don’t think you could improve on the service. Very well done to you all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bernie.

Lanarkshire Private Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, General Practice (GP), + 6 more

This was my first experience of private health care. All staff are welcoming the clinic is very clean. It was self service to Refreshments but that's not to clear. I think it would've been nicer to be offered a beverage when you check in. I found myself being forced into this option as the nhs weren't listening. I met with Dr. Howie (GP) I found it such a relief just to be heard. It has only taken 1 visit and 1 review appointment to help with my menopause issues. i have been suffering for many years and it has ovly taken 3 months to solve going private. Thank you!!

Mr Edward Massa

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From the minute I first walked into Edward Massa's office he made me feel at ease. He explained everything in a way I could understand. This experience carried on throughout my admission for surgery and aftercare. He talks to you more like an old friend than some random patient. I had full hip replacement and was walking with crutches the next morning - although I had done pre-op exercises I feel this was down to Mr Massa's expertise in his field of work. I cannot recommend him enough - I may need another hip replacement at some point and wouldn't want anyone else.

Mr Stavros Karamanakos

General Surgeon

I was put at ease by Mr Stavros Karanakos, he explained the treatment for my condition, invited questions from me which he answered, and explained the procedure in detail. I left after that initial meeting feeling that I was in very capable hands. On the day of the operation I was visited by him where he outlined the procedure again, explaining the possible issues that could happen. I was visited again after the operation to check on my progress and to update me on how the procedure went.

Mr Edward Lee

Ophthalmologist

Good morning, Mr Lee was very professional, polite and punctual. He took some notes, carefully listened, reviewed my existing medication and examined my eyes straightaway. Mr Lee was able to tell me my diagnosis and due to my complex issues, he was immediately able to recommend me to see further specialists without any hesitation. I cannot be thankful enough for his prompt diagnosis, honest discussion and advices I received. I would definitely recommend Mr Lee further.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

Mr Avis has been so thorough and responsive to the issues. He immediately did multi level investigation to separate my shoulder from my wrist issues and literally sorted out the injections into my shoulder on the day I was there. I was so impressed. He is also very pragmatic about the options and empowering to the patient giving all the information to make an informed choice. The hospital orator is beautiful - spotless and all the team are fabulous.

Real You Medical Aesthetics Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

Dr Kathryn is simply outstanding. She takes the time to really get to know you, to understand what you want from your visit, and to guide you with such care and honesty. Her approach is thoughtful, gentle and genuine — and the results she delivers are nothing short of incredible. I always leave feeling completely confident, refreshed and so well looked after. She is, without question, the best there is

Mr Christopher Anderson

Urologist

I was so fortunate to have an introduction to Mr. Anderson. I had a complex operation and felt I was in very safe hands. He came to visit me daily post surgery during my 3 day stay in hospital. I had an appointment with Mr. Anderson several weeks later and he explained in detail the outcome of the procedure. I look forward to seeing him in the New Year.

Mr Dan Shaerf

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We saw Dr Shaerf for a wrist injury my daughter experienced in gymnastics. He had a great manner with her and was helpful in explaining what may be causing her pain and what the course of treatment may be once we find out more. He was on time, listened to us and we will continue to seek treatment from him once we learn more from tests.
